How can i get pain relief from a degenerative disc with no insurance?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
See below: • pain medication. • chiropractic manipulation. • epidural injections. An epidural injection into the spine delivers steroids that can provide low back pain relief by decreasing inflammation in the painful area. • tens units. These devices deliver mild electrical stimulation that overrides the painful signals sent to the lower back. • ultrasound. • massage.
