What is Degenerative Disc Disease?

Degenerative disc disease is a painful breakdown of the discs that cushion your spine. Over time, they dry out, crack, and collapse, causing vertebrae to compress and pinch nearby nerves. This can lead to burning pain, numbness, weakness, and serious loss of mobility.
If left untreated, it can cause permanent nerve damage, failed surgeries, and a dramatic decline in quality of life.
But there is hope. Dr. Keith Currie’s Currie Method Protocol offers a proven, non-invasive path to relief—even when surgery, injections, and medications have failed.
Don’t let this condition steal any more of your life. Schedule your free consultation with Dr. Currie today and take the first step toward real healing.

Common Causes of Degenerative Disc Diseases

Understanding the potential causes of degenerative disc diseases can help you prevent them in the future. For those already experiencing disc problems, it can be helpful to understand the causes in order to identify what may have caused your condition. Degenerative disc diseases are often the result of one of a variety of factors:

Injuries

Injuries can cause a disc to slip or become herniated. Injuries in an area of the neck or back can also leave someone vulnerable to future disc problems.

Obesity

Obesity puts extra weight on the discs in your spine and neck, increasing the risk of developing degenerative disc diseases.

Sedentary Lifestyle

Living a sedentary lifestyle increases the likelihood of general health problems occurring, which can lead to further complications in the discs.
