As we age, it’s not uncommon to experience degenerative disc disease – a condition caused by the breakdown of spinal discs. This wear and tear often leads to back pain, and affects millions of Americans annually. But with minimally invasive treatment options available, there’s no need to suffer. Our procedures can improve symptoms and help you get your life back.

If you have degenerative disc disease, you may experience pain in your back or neck. This happens when the discs in your spine break down and put pressure on the nerves nearby. The pain can radiate to other parts of your body, depending on which nerves are affected.
There are a number of different ways to treat degenerative disc disease, depending on the severity of the condition. In some cases, simple lifestyle changes such as increasing movement or stretching exercises may be enough to ease symptoms. If pain is more severe, medication or physical therapy may be recommended. In some cases, surgery may be necessary to alleviate pain and improve quality of life.
We understand the significant negative impact back or neck pain could have on quality of life. At NJ Spine and Ortho, our goal is to get our patients back to enjoying life using minimally invasive techniques that involve the use of tiny incisions and muscle sparing methods to treat the spinal problem.
