Degeneration (also known as spondylosis) is a natural process of aging that occurs in all people (some more than others). Degeneration can occur at the disc (degenerative disc disease), ligaments, or joints (facet arthropathy) and may lead to other conditions such as stenosis (narrowing of the spinal canal). Symptoms of degeneration may include neck pain and stiffness and possibly arm symptoms if stenosis is present. Since degeneration is a natural process, it may also be asymptomatic (often people show degeneration on x-ray or other imaging but have no pain). Our therapists are trained in assessing degenerative disease and creating a plan to get you feeling better.
