Degenerative Disc Index

Featured: Degenerative Disc Disease & Sciatica Main Article

The pain from degenerative disc or joint disease of the spine is usually treated conservatively with intermittent heat, rest, rehabilitative exercises and medications to relieve pain, muscle spasm and inflammation.
