What are treatment options for degenerative disc issues?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Non Op and Operative: Try to increase core strength to offload the discs. May require non-operative modalities including pt, exercise, massage. If this also fails may ultimately require operative intervention. Surgery is last resort.
