Somerset, NJ -- (SBWire) -- 09/20/2017 --The University Pain Medicine Center, the pain management specialists of Monroe Township, NJ, is offering various treatment and care options for patients suffering from degenerative disc disease. The pain management facility strives to provide every one of its patients with a custom tailored therapeutic approach in a state-of-the-art, compassionate atmosphere.

Degenerative disc disease affects over three million Americans every year. With age, the spinal discs that act as shock absorbers in the spine slowly weaken causing pain and discomfort. Most degenerative disc pain will radiate from the lower back and range from a slight ache to extremely disabling. Patients might also experience more suffering when they sit, bend, lift, or twist, and some relief when upright and walking. Individual cases will vary, and only a physical examination and MRI will accurately show how much damage is done to the discs.

Various treatment options are currently available at the University Pain Medicine Center for those enduring chronic pain in the neck, lower, and upper back area. The facility's lower back and neck pain doctors in Monroe Township, NJ will cater a treatment plan to each patient's lifestyle and update it accordingly to the progress being made. A treatment plan may include aerobic exercise, physical therapies, and appropriate medications. If non-surgical treatment does not offer the adequate amount of relief, the University Pain Medicine Center will explore surgical options should they see it's needed.
