DEGENERATIVE DISC DISEASE
AND HOW STEMCELLS-X CAN HELP
Degenerative spine conditions involve the gradual deterioration of the spine’s structure and function over time. While aging is the most common cause, these conditions may also result from tumors, infections, or arthritis. Degeneration can place pressure on the spinal cord and nerve roots, leading to issues such as slipped or herniated discs, spinal stenosis & osteoarthritis.
Symptoms of Degenerative Spine Conditions
-
Commonly Affected Areas: Degenerative disc disease typically impacts the cervical (neck) and lumbar (lower back) regions, as these areas undergo the most movement and are most susceptible to wear and tear.
​
-
Cervical Disc Symptoms: Pain may radiate into the shoulders, arms, and hands when the neck region is involved.
​
-
Primary Symptom: A persistent, low-grade ache around the affected disc, which can intensify into more severe, sometimes debilitating pain.
​
-
Pain Flare-Ups: Episodes can be triggered by recent activity, added stress on the spine, or arise without a clear cause, lasting from a few days to several weeks.
​
-
Between Flare-Ups: Pain levels may decrease or go away entirely before the next episode begins.
