Truth About Degenerative Disc Disease Treatments -Toronto

So what is the truth about degenerative disc disease and treatments?

Well, as so often is the case, when one experiences neck or lower back pain they will first visit their family doctor and they will be initially given a prescription for pain medication.  After a month or so you go back to your family doctor because despite taking your pain medication, your pain is still there.

So then your doctor has you sent to get an X-ray and it reveals that you have spinal arthritis or degenerative disc disease in your spine.  Your doctor then says, "Well, you have some arthritis in your spine.  It's normal.  Don't worry just take these meds and it will eventually go away."

Right off the bat there are 2 massive errors in what your doctor just told you!

1. Spinal arthritis and degenerative disc disease is NOT normal! If it was a normal function of the body, then you would not be in pain nor would you eventually become incapacitated with pain as the problem gets progressively worse.  You're doctor is doing a great disservice to you by trivializing your problem and just shooing you off with pain medication and rest.
2. Pain medication will NOT fix the problem of spinal arthritis and degenerative disc disease as such, as your condition gets progressively worse, so will your pain and your reliance on medication.

At the Toronto Spine Clinic, one of the biggest mistakes that we hear our patients making is that they thought that their problem would just go away.  The fact of the matter is, it doesn't.  Although your pain may diminish to a certain degree, your degenerative disc disease progresses.

Typically, your pain may diminish to a certain degree because your nerves become desensitized to your pain... your nerve receptors are not responding to the pain as they used to and so you develop a higher pain threshold.

HOWEVER...

although it may sound great on the surface that you don't feel as much pain or that you can handle more pain than the average person... the fact of the matter is, you are unknowingly waiting for the "STRAW THAT BROKE THE CAMEL'S BACK"!

Meaning, as your degenerative disc disease gets worse (i.e. more pain pain, sciatica, leg weakness, incoordination, groin pain, hip pain, etc.) you back develops more and more instability, until one day you roll over to get out of bed or perhaps lift up your child, do a bit of raking or snow shoveling and then it happens... seemingly out of no where, you experience pain that you had never felt before, pain that drops you to your knees and pain that will not go away no matter what you do.

Then you ask yourself... "How can this happen?  I didn't do anything to hurt my back!  I've been taking my medication, I've watch what I've been doing and I was told my pain will go away!"

You're condition never did go away!

Your discs were silently degenerating more and more because you were taking your pain medication that was blocking off your body's Problem Detection System and you never addressed the CAUSE of your pain and symptoms... you only masked it!

In order to correctly address your problem, 

you have to address the CAUSE!
