Disc degenerative diseases are known to commonly occur in adults who are or have crossed the age of 40 years. However, it must be noted that indicators of disc deterioration may be identified earlier. Almost 30% of the adults may show some symptoms which are associated with disc wear and may face little or no pain at all. Some of the risk factors which may cause this disease include genetics, ageing, an increase in body weight, physical exertion, and strains accumulated during work.
SpineMantra offers a unique solution for all such herniated disc-related problems, providing unique solutions that help in relieving pain.

- Age Problems: Discs gradually lose their hydration and elasticity when you grow old, reducing the disc’s cushioning capacity. This happens faster if you are working in some jobs that result in strain.
- Strain or Injury: Trauma or repetitive stress over time results in undue wear, possibly leading to herniation. A herniated disc is often the first symptom which points towards DDD or Osteoarthritis.
- Genetic Factors: 39 to 65% of the patients who suffer from Osteoarthritis are seen to have a previous genetic disposition to the disease.
- Body Weight and Bad Lifestyle: Increased body weight and bad lifestyle, with limited movements or bad posture, may increase the problems related to Osteoarthritis.
- Smoking: Smoking may cause degeneration of joint cartilage, which ultimately leads to earlier and quicker development of Osteoarthritis.
SpineMantra provides complete guidance on how to prevent such issues from aggravating and provides solutions to manage the pain.
- Chronic Pain: If there is persistent pain in the back or neck, you must opt for periodic checkups.
- Activity-Based Pain: A person may face problems related to sitting, bending, or twisting; you must opt for treatment.
- Nerve-Related Issues: Tinging and numbing sensations in the back or limbs suggest a problem related to Osteoarthritis.
- Reduction of Flexibility: Limitations in the spinal movement and flexibility point towards degenerative disc disease.
- Relief During Walking or Lying: The pain reduces during walking or lying down.
- Weakness of Muscle or Spasms: Nerve damage due to disc degeneration in the advanced stages may cause such problems.

The procedure to diagnose Disc Degenerative Disease is as follows:
- Physical Examination: Physical examination involves understanding the general positioning and alignment of the spine.
- Reviewing the Patient History: Assessing the patient’s medical history and genetic predisposition, which causes Disc Degeneration Disease.
- Understanding the Pain: Analysing the area of the pain and the level of the pain.
- Analysing the Range of Motion: Evaluate the range of motion which the spine can perform.
- Analysing Your Posture: Evaluate and understand the posture of the patient and analyse the pressure distribution on the spine.
