Understanding Multilevel Degenerative Disc Disease

This condition can cause symptoms of multilevel degenerative disc disease, like long-term back pain, stiffness, or pain that spreads into the arms, shoulders, hips, and legs.

The pain may feel random and wide-ranging because more than one disc is involved. This can make it hard to treat with simple, localized methods. At PEAK, we are committed to helping all of our patients stay healthy long-term by giving them full, personalized care and using proven, whole-body chiropractic methods.

How Multilevel Degenerative Disc Disease (DDD) Impacts Daily Life

People with multilevel DDD often have trouble moving and may find themselves in pain often. This can make it painful to do things like bend, lift, or even sit down. Trying to make up for back pain can also put stress on other parts of your body. This can make your muscles and joints more easily fatigued which can have a big impact on your quality of life overall.

Understanding the complicated interaction of degenerating discs and the rest of your body is key to creating an effective treatment plan for degenerative disc disease.

“The leading causes of disability are musculoskeletal injuries, meaning disorders of muscles, joints, nerves, bones. The most common approach typically takes a segmented approach of only medications to treat the issue. Although symptoms can be suppressed with medications, that’s only one component to the disorder complex that’s being addressed. By also addressing the movement and healing component, we can successfully treat these injuries. At PEAK we address ALL of the aspects for resolution instead of just ‘dealing with’ constant pain cycles.”
