Sports massage helps strengthen the muscles around the spine, providing better support and reducing the load on degenerated discs, which can alleviate discomfort.
Regular massage sessions enhance the flexibility of the spine and surrounding tissues, which can help decrease the stiffness and pain associated with degenerative disc disease.
Massage can stimulate blood flow to the affected areas, helping to reduce inflammation and soothe pain by promoting healing and recovery.
The relaxing effects of sports massage contribute to stress reduction, which is vital for managing chronic conditions like degenerative disc disease, enhancing overall quality of life.
Degenerative disc disease is a condition caused by the natural breakdown of the intervertebral discs of the spine. These discs provide flexibility and cushioning between the vertebrae, but over time, they can degenerate, leading to discomfort and reduced functionality.
The most common symptoms include:
The primary cause of degenerative disc disease is the aging process. As we age, our spinal discs dry out and lose their ability to absorb shock. Other contributing factors include:
Diagnosis typically involves a physical examination and imaging studies such as X-rays, MRI, or CT scans to assess the extent of disc degeneration.
Treatment strategies focus on pain management and improving quality of life:
Preventive measures include maintaining a healthy lifestyle with regular exercise, proper nutrition, avoiding smoking, and practicing good posture. Regular check-ups can also help manage symptoms and prevent complications.
Understanding and managing degenerative disc disease through comprehensive care including sports massage can significantly improve one’s quality of life, allowing them to maintain functionality and minimise pain.
