Degenerative Disc Disease in Auckland
Degenerative Disc Disease in Auckland (DDD) refers to symptoms of back or neck pain caused by wear-and-tear on a spinal
disc
. In some cases, degenerative disc disease also causes weakness, numbness and shooting pains in the arms or legs. Treatment for mild to moderate pain, can include medications and physical therapy. For more severe cases a procedure called a
spinal fusion
surgery is used where two or more vertebrae are fused into one single structure. The goal is to stop movement between the two bones and prevent back pain. An
Orthopaedic Surgeon
will undertake Spinal Surgery.
