Chiropractic Care for Degenerative Disc Disease in Anchorage, AK
Serving Anchorage since 1998
Better Health Alaska Chiropractors officially opened its doors in 1998. Our office serves Anchorage, Alaska, and the surrounding areas headed by CEO and chief chiropractor Dr. Brent Wells.
We’ve treated thousands of patients with DDD. If you have it, you know how devastating it can be. Since, with current technology, it is largely irreversible – at least in the later stages – you need to catch it quickly to keep it from progressing. Early symptoms include:
- Changes in spinal curvature that only a trained eye can see (doctor or chiropractor)
- Pain ranging from mild to moderate.
- Lack of energy
- And other telltale signs…
If any of these sound familiar, you need to consult a healthcare professional. The chiropractors at our office are well-trained and well-prepared to help you.
You can reach our chiropractic office by email, phone, or physical visit.
What to Expect?
There are a variety of ways to treat and manage Degenerative Disc Disease. One of the most prominent of these is chiropractic care
Your First Visit
Symptoms of DDD vary based on the individual and can range from nothing at all to extreme pain. The most common symptoms also include:
- Lower back and/or neck pain
- Numbness or tingling in your arms or legs
- Reduced flexibility of the back.
Your first visit to our office will set the foundation for your entire treatment plan going forward. It will begin with a medical history, a discussion of your symptoms, a comprehensive physical exam, and, if needed, a session of imaging (X-rays, MRI’s, etc…) to examine the damage.
From there, your chiropractor will make a diagnosis and develop a treatment plan.
Benefits of Regular Chiropractic Treatment for Degenerative Disc Disease
A normal treatment plan may involve a number of different types of therapies – therapies like chiropractic care, massage therapy, physical therapy, and, in some cases, our proprietary ABPP (Alaska Back Pain Protocol).
These therapies can be used either separately or together. When used together, they tend to amplify each other’s effects. In fact, the ABPP includes the other three, and is a comprehensive, holistic approach that is highly effective against DDD.
Of course, relieving your symptoms is only half the battle. You don’t want them to come back, either. Fortunately, the same methods used to relieve your symptoms (chiropractic care, massage therapy, etc…) can also be used to prevent their return. It’s a form of physical maintenance with benefits similar to regular exercise.
We at Better Health Alaska can help ease your DDD. For enduring relief contact us at 907-346-5255.
