Its Arthritis...
Degenerative disc disease and spinal osteoarthritis are common conditions that can develop as the spine changes over time. These changes may affect the discs, joints, and other structures of the spine—potentially leading to back or neck pain, stiffness, reduced mobility, and discomfort during everyday activities.
At Village Family Clinic, we provide personalized chiropractic care focused on helping you manage symptoms, maintain mobility, and support healthy spinal function.
What's Actually Happening
Degenerative disc disease occurs when the discs between your vertebrae gradually lose some of their height, flexibility, or ability to absorb shock. Spinal osteoarthritis (also called spinal arthritis) involves changes to the joints and surrounding structures of the spine. While these conditions are often associated with aging, symptoms and severity vary considerably from person to person. A diagnosis doesn't automatically mean significant pain or limitation.
How Chiropractic Care Can Help
Chiropractic care may be incorporated into a conservative treatment plan for people experiencing pain and stiffness associated with these degenerative changes. Depending on your individual condition, care may focus on:
- Improving joint mobility
- Reducing discomfort
- Supporting healthy movement
- Helping you maintain function
Your treatment plan is built around your specific symptoms, health history, and goals—not a one-size-fits-all approach.
Everyday Habits Matter, Too
Prolonged sitting, poor posture, repetitive movements, and inactivity can all contribute to stiffness and discomfort. We can help identify factors that may be affecting your symptoms and offer guidance to support healthier movement and spinal function as part of your overall care.
You Don't Have to Slow Down
A diagnosis of degenerative disc disease or spinal osteoarthritis doesn't mean giving up the activities you enjoy. If pain, stiffness, or limited mobility is affecting your work, exercise, or daily life, we're here to evaluate your condition and discuss the right conservative care options for you.
