Understanding Degenerative Disc Disease
Degenerative disc disease is a condition often associated with aging as the discs in your spine change over time. These discs help your back stay flexible, allowing you to bend and rotate while absorbing shock between the bones of your spine. Although discs break down with age, not everyone experiences pain. Degenerative disc disease occurs when the worn-out discs cause discomfort and pain.
What Are Spinal Discs?
Spinal discs consist of two main parts: the outer layer and the core.
- The Outer Layer: Strong and firm, this layer contains nerves. Tears in the outer layer can be extremely painful.
- The Core: Soft and jelly-like, the core contains proteins that can impact the surrounding tissues. If these proteins leak into the outer layer where the nerves are located, you might experience severe pain.
How Physical Therapy Helps
At Healing Arts Center & Physical Therapy, our physical therapy approach is designed to manage pain, improve function, and prevent further damage. Here’s how we help:
- Comprehensive Assessment: We start with a thorough evaluation to understand your specific condition and needs.
- Personalized Treatment Plans: Based on the assessment, we create a customized therapy plan that includes targeted exercises and pain management strategies.
- Ongoing Support and Education: We provide continuous support and education to help you manage your condition effectively.
Key Benefits of Our Physical Therapy for Degenerative Disc Disease
- Improved Proprioception: Our exercises enhance the body’s ability to sense movement, particularly in the lumbar spine. This helps in maintaining balance and coordination.
- Reduced Excess Motion: Therapy reduces excessive movement at spinal segments, which minimizes irritation and pain.
- Pain Relief: By stabilizing the spine and reducing inflammation, our treatments offer significant pain relief.
- Protection Against Further Damage: Strengthening the spine helps protect against future injuries and deterioration.

Family Medicine where you’re treated like family! The Healing Arts Center has life changing for our family. From the moment you call Velvet or Kym treat you so kindly and find appointment times that work for you! When you walk in you are warmly and kindly treated by all of their staff. They’ve even helped me wrangle my kiddos while waiting or being seen! Chandra has always been so kind and helped get us settled in, my daughter likes her more than myself! Dr. Hussey is an amazing chiropractor who has helped me multiple times with pain, migraines, sickness, and so much more. He listened to me and went along side with my doctors to help create plans to get me healed and whole. Dr. Wright and her physical therapy assistants Allyson and Teri have worked my family overcoming gross motor delays and migraine treatment. They went above and beyond to perform excellent care and work with our insurance company to make sure we were getting the care we needed. The speech pathologist Nicole helped my son overcome a speech delay! We are so grateful for Tricia and Dr. Sams for creating a wonderful treatment center where you’re more than just a number or claim, you’re a human being and treated like their own family.

I love the Healing Arts Center! Dr. Husee is my Chiropractor, and he is awesome! They are my GO-TO for any ailments. I believe most ailments can be prevented by taking care of your gut and keeping your spine in sync. They cover other areas besides Chiropractics. Give them a call to see if they can help you.
