Degenerative Disc Disease: Understanding Spinal Wear & Tear 🦵💡
Degenerative disc disease (DDD) is the natural breakdown of the discs in the spine, often due to aging, overuse, or injury. As the discs lose their cushioning ability, it can lead to pain, stiffness, and reduced flexibility in the lower back.
Common symptoms:
🔹 Chronic lower back pain that worsens with activity
🔹 Pain that improves with rest
🔹 Stiffness or limited range of motion
How to manage DDD:
✔️ Stay active with low-impact exercises (like swimming or walking)
✔️ Focus on strengthening the core and back muscles
✔️ Use proper posture and body mechanics
✔️ Consult a professional for pain management options
Take care of your spine for a healthier, active life! 💪✨

Did you know May is mental health awareness month? Mental Health is crucial to overall well-being, as it influences how we think, feel, and act in our daily lives. Good mental health helps us cope with stress, build relationships, and make decisions. When mental health is neglected, it can lead to emotional and physical challenges, affecting our ability to work, study, and maintain fulfilling personal lives. Prioritizing mental health promotes resilience, improves quality of life, and supports a balanced, healthy lifestyle. Seek a professional healthcare provider today if you are concerned about your mental health. Take time for yourself to provide some self-care. Massages are one great way to get some self care in and Welch PT has a wonderful massage therapist in the clinic 3 days/week.
