Degenerative Spine Disease treatment in Miguel Hidalgo

Degenerative spine refers to the progressive wear of the structures of the spinal column, such as the discs, joints, and ligaments, which tends to be related to the passage of time and everyday use.

Common symptoms: back or neck pain, stiffness, and in some cases tingling, weakness, or discomfort that radiates toward the arms or legs when nearby nerves are affected.

Common causes: in addition to the natural aging of tissues, factors such as sustained postures, repeated strain, and load on the spine play a role.

Which specialist treats it? The neurosurgeon evaluates cases in which the wear affects nerve structures and advises on the most appropriate approach. If back pain is persistent or is accompanied by weakness, it is worth discussing with a professional.
