How to STOP Degenerative Disc “Disease” (Exercises & Tips)
Показать описание
Been told you have degenerative disc disease? This sounds scary, but I’ll explain why it shouldn’t freak you out, and what to do about it.
IN THIS VIDEO
00:00 - Intro
01:11 - What is Degenerative Disc Disease?
02:55 - How Does DDD Occur?
06:30 - First Strategy - Core Stability
07:45 - Second Strategy - Decompress Your Spine
08:40 - Third Strategy - Train Spinal Mobility
Here’s the thing: EVERYONE WHO HAS BEEN ALIVE A FEW DECADES HAS DEGENERATIVE DISC DISEASE.
Research has estimated that over 50% of people above age 30 would have evidence of disc
degeneration on imaging, even if they don’t have symptoms.
Overtime, with the constant forces going through your spine as you move around, your fibrous, gel-filled
intervertebral discs will shrink.
This reduced space may cause symptoms, including pinched nerves or muscle spasms, or it may not
cause any issues at all.
There are several strategies you can take to help you reduce back pain from degeneration and improve
spine health.
[6:30] The first strategy is to work core stability.
Your core plays a big role in stabilizing the lumbar region. If these muscles aren’t firing properly, your
spine might move in ways that it shouldn’t – meaning you might be prone to painful muscle tweaks and
pulls.
[7:45] The second strategy is to decompress your spine. Hanging upside down, by your arms, or just laying over a swiss ball can all cause spinal decompression and encourage fluid to re-enter the discs.
[8:40] Finally, you’ve got to train spinal mobility.
Just like any other tissues in your body, your discs respond and grow stronger when they have
appropriate stresses imposed upon them. While excessive forces from poor posture can lead to
degeneration, smart, progressive forces can improve the strength of your spine
.
Remember that degeneration is inevitable. And, a whole lot of people out there have degeneration, but
no pain.
The difference between those with back pain and those without often boils down to posture, core
stability, and movement patterns – all things you can address!
