Degeneration of the spinal discs is a normal process as you get older. Degenerative Disc Disease may be diagnosed if there is significant back pain, neck pain and/or other accompanying symptoms and a Back Specialist has ruled out other back and spine conditions. Pain from Degenerative Disc Disease occurs usually due to the inflammation surrounding the discs and can occur in episodes or chronically.
It is important to have a consultation with a Back Pain Specialist or Spine Specialist if you are experiencing back pain or neck pain to determine the cause of the discomfort. If left untreated, Degenerative Disc Disease can progress and cause other more serious conditions to occur including Sciatica, Osteoarthritis, Herniated Discs, Pinched nerves and Spinal Stenosis.
The team of Board Certified Pain Management Specialists at The Spine & Rehab Group are highly experienced in the treatment of Degenerative Disc Disease pain. Non-surgical treatments in both Manhattan and New Jersey are often recommended and may include:
Physical Therapy – Custom designed Physical Therapy treatment plans are created by a skilled team of Physical Therapists, Physiatrists and Back pain doctors. Physical Therapy and Rehabilitation can help reduce pain, improve mobility and promote healing in patients with Degenerative Discs.
Interventional Pain Management – Non-surgical pain management procedures may be recommended to reduce a patient’s pain, inflammation and avoid surgery.
Alternative Treatments – Treatments such as Acupuncture and Medical Massage may be helpful in the relief of Degenerative Disc pain and lend to the healing process and recovery.
Our doctors are skilled in the accurate diagnosis and treatment plans for Degenerative Disc Disease. Catching the disease early is key to slowing its progression. During your initial consultation and evaluation, diagnostic testing may be requested for an accurate diagnosis.
I've been a patient here at Spine & Rehab Group for 3 years now and have nothing but good things to say. An absolutely wonderful staff including my PA, Melanie Fillian who is extremely knowledgeable and caring and has great bedside manners. I have a total of 5 disc herniations, spinal stenosis and degenerative disc disease from years in construction and their aggressive regimen of procedures and the right meds have helped me tremendously.
I refer friends there as well with great results!
Easy to reach and make appointments, great understanding and caring staff and convenient location. I highly recommend this practice for anyone who suffers from chronic pain and or sports injuries.
I have been experiencing pain from a bulging disc in my spine for many years, which was affecting my ability to work. Every visit to The Spine and Rehab Group was a pleasant experience. The care I received was highly professional, the team was very accommodating of the visit I was requiring, and all the staff addressed me with individual care. Dr Hosny and his team have been working with me and doing an excellent job. After five months with Dr Hosny, I see positive results and feel more energized. I would recommend The Spine & Rehab Group and Dr. Hosny to all my family and friends.
