Managing Degenerative Disc Disease Without Surgery

Degenerative disc disease (DDD) is a common condition where spinal discs lose hydration and flexibility, causing pain and reduced mobility. While it’s often age-related, injury or repetitive stress can accelerate the process.

Non-surgical spinal decompression helps by rehydrating discs and reducing inflammation, relieving pressure on nerves and restoring function. Patients often notice improved movement and reduced pain after a few sessions. If you've been told surgery is your only option for DDD, consider Dr Chris Hopkins at Hopkins Health in Fernandina Beach for non surgical spinal decompression as a safer, non-invasive alternative with real, lasting results.
