Everything You Need To Know About Degenerative Disc Disease

Receiving A Diagnosis

Degenerative disc disease can be diagnosed through a physical exam and by looking at a patient’s medical history. A physical exam may include checking the affected area’s range of motion and how much pain is caused by a certain movement. X-rays and imaging tests will be considered if symptoms progress or develop after an injury or if nerve damage is suspected. Image testing may also be done if bone disease, a tumor, or infection may be present.
