Managing Degenerative Disc Disease in Lancaster PA
Natural Care for Degenerative Disc Disease
Have you been told your back pain is “just degenerative disc disease” and there’s nothing you can do except take pain medication or wait until you need surgery? At Life Potential Chiropractic, Dr. Tony Miller offers a different perspective. While we can’t reverse disc degeneration, we can help your nervous system manage inflammation, reduce pain, and slow progression—giving you more active, pain-free years.
Understanding Degenerative Disc Disease
Degenerative disc disease (DDD) isn’t actually a “disease”—it’s the natural aging process of your spinal discs. Over time, the soft cushions between your vertebrae lose water content, height, and flexibility. This leads to increased friction, spinal instability, and nerve irritation.
- Chronic back or neck pain, often worsening with movement
- Numbness, tingling, or weakness in the extremities
- Reduced ability to perform daily activities
- Stiffness and decreased range of motion
- Flare-ups associated with certain positions or stressors
Slowing Degeneration and Managing Pain Naturally
You’ve probably been told there’s nothing you can do about degenerative disc disease except manage pain with medication. But here’s what’s often missed: your nervous system controls inflammation, and chronic inflammation accelerates disc degeneration.
- Network spinal: Gentle adjustments designed to restore motion, reduce nerve inflammation, and support disc regeneration.
- NeuralChek: Sophisticated scans that help measure nervous system adaptation and track progress.
- BrainTap: Relaxation sessions that accelerate healing and promote mental clarity as part of comprehensive care.
