Degenerative Disc Disease

Degenerative Disc Disease is a condition caused by the natural breakdown of one or more of the intervertebral discs of the spine. Despite the term, it is neither a disease nor progressively degenerative. More often, it is the result of daily stresses that cause the spinal discs to gradually lose water which in turn causes their outer shells to weaken.As the shells collapse, pressure increases on the nerves in the spinal column, resulting in pain and weakness.An appropriately designed back brace such as the ones below can alleviate this condition. Please consult with your doctor to ensure that the brace you choose is suited to your condition.
