Degenerative Joint Disease Treatment in India

Degenerative Joint Disease most commonly known as osteoarthritis is a painful degenerative condition that results in the deterioration of cartilage tissues that support the weight-bearing joints in the body. Once the cartilage is thinned or lost, the constant grinding of bones against each other causes pain and stiffness around the joint . Abnormal and excess bone formations called spurs grow from the damaged bones, causing further pain and stiffness. Statistics show that degenerative joint disease affects 80% of people over the age of 60.

Degenerative joint disease is most often caused by nothing more than the regular aging process, although environmental factors like injury, obesity, years of smoking, and prolonged repetitive activities can all exacerbate the onset of arthritis as well.

Degenerative Disc Treatment in Chennai

A Degenerative Disc Disease (DDD) is typically associated with aging. As you age, your discs, like other joints in the body, can degenerate and become problematic: That's a natural part of growing older as your body deals with years of strain, overuse, and maybe even misuse.

                             

 

Causes for Degenerative Disc Disease

In most patients, degenerative disc disease will develop slowly over time. When degenerative disc disease develops slowly over time, it is usually caused by repeated daily stresses and minor injuries to the discs in the spine. Daily stresses involve activities like minimal impact sports and lifting and carrying heavy objects. Minor injuries to the disc may occur and not cause pain at the time of the injury.
