Frequently Asked Questions About Degenerative Disc Disease Treatment

What is degenerative disc disease?

Degenerative disc disease (DDD) is a condition where the spinal discs—the cushions between your vertebrae—break down over time due to age, wear and tear, or injury. As discs lose hydration and height, they can cause pain, stiffness, and reduced mobility. Despite its name, DDD is not actually a disease but a natural part of aging that affects some people more than others.

What are the symptoms of degenerative disc disease?

Common symptoms include chronic low back or neck pain that may come and go, pain that worsens when sitting, bending, or lifting, pain that improves when walking or changing positions, numbness or tingling in the arms or legs, and stiffness in the spine. Some people with visible disc degeneration on imaging have no symptoms at all.

Can degenerative disc disease be cured?

While disc degeneration cannot be reversed, the pain and symptoms can be effectively managed with proper treatment. At WOW Spine, we focus on reducing inflammation, strengthening supporting muscles, and slowing progression. Many patients achieve significant pain relief and improved function without surgery.

What treatments are available for degenerative disc disease?

At WOW Spine, we offer epidural steroid injections, facet joint injections, radiofrequency ablation, regenerative medicine (PRP therapy), physical therapy, and lifestyle modifications. Dr. Martinez creates a personalized treatment plan based on your specific condition and goals.

Do I need surgery for degenerative disc disease?

Most patients with degenerative disc disease do not need surgery. Non-surgical treatments are effective for the majority of cases. Surgery is typically only considered when conservative treatments have failed to provide adequate relief after several months, or if there’s significant nerve compression causing weakness.

Does WOW Spine accept my insurance for degenerative disc disease treatment?

We accept most major insurance plans including Aetna, Blue Cross Blue Shield Texas, Cigna, Humana, United Healthcare, and Medicare. Call 682-285-1044 and our staff will verify your coverage before your appointment.
