Very knowledgeable staff. Kiran Khatri the Medical Assistant and Dr. Philip Ceraulo are phenomenal!! They are both very caring and compassionate.
Back pain can be debilitating, and the most common type of back pain is the pain you experience in your lower back or lumber spine area. Given the way you use your back to bend stretch and lift, lower back pain is common. In fact, it’s the number one complaint in medical facilities across the country.
One of the many reasons you may have developed lower back pain is lumbar degenerative disc disease. Spinal discs are the cushions between your vertebrae that allow you to twist, turn and bend. Lumbar degenerative disc disease is the name of the condition when your vertebral discs lose their cushioning functionality, either due to age or injury. Most often, the condition comes on over time, as your spinal discs wear down.
Degenerative disc disease can strike anywhere in your spine, but the two most common areas affected are your lumbar spine and your neck or cervical spine. When you have back pain or neck pain, you need an expert to perform a thorough evaluation to identify the cause. The doctors at Redefine Healthcare in New Jersey are experts in the diagnosis and treatment of:
Disc degeneration is a normal part of the aging process, especially after the age of 40. The stress you put on your spine over the years can eventually lead to:
Your risk of developing this condition increases if you have a family history of back problems. You may inadvertently speed up the process of disc herniation through some lifestyle choices, such as:
Jobs that involve heavy lifting or twisting may hasten the degeneration of your discs as well. Prolonged sitting or long-distance driving also strains the spinal discs, leading to back pain or disc damage.
As you age, your joints begin to wear out, including the joints in your spine, knees and hips. Most people over the age of 40 have some disc degeneration in their lower back, but not everyone has symptoms. If you do develop symptoms of lumbar disc degeneration, they likely include:
The pain may intensify with certain movements, such as bending or lifting. You may feel some relief from pain when you’re walking or lying down. Your New Jersey pain management doctor determines if you have lumbar degenerative disc disease or something else, such as a pinched nerve, with a physical exam and imaging tests.
Treatment of lumbar degenerative disc disease is aimed at reducing your pain, while improving your flexibility and mobility. Your treatment plan depends on the severity of your pain. Your doctor may recommend:
Extensive bed rest usually isn’t recommended. You may be directed to rest for a day or two, but remaining inactive stiffens your spine, weakens the muscles, and actually worsens your pain. Some medications are temporary, but they allow you to work with a physical therapist without pain.
Don’t ignore low back pain. Lumbar disc degeneration isn’t the only condition that can cause back pain. There are many other possible causes for back pain, such as a lumbar sprain, compression fracture, slipped disc, or sacroiliac joint dysfunction. Getting an accurate diagnosis is the first step toward proper treatment.
