Are there any supplements that will help degenerative discs?
5 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
None proven: I am not aware of any supplements that have been proven by medical study to help degenerative discs. Degenerative discs are simply aging discs. Your best bet is basic medical treatment - physical therapy, regular exercise, increased activity, maintaining a good weight, good diet, no smoking.

Degenerative disc d: Degenerative discs are a result of aging and trauma, dietary supplements have been offered in the past but in my experience none have really proved successful.
