Prevention of Degenerative Disc Disease
There is no "one treatment fits all" nor is there a "one pill cures all" approach to Chinese medicine. Each person’s situation is as unique and as dynamic as they, themselves, are. Therefore, with each visit the patient is assessed and treated according to the syndrome differentiation. Your herbal formula will always be prescribed based on your own syndromes so as to suit the remedy to the case. At TCM Window, we offer relaxing treatments and expert guidance through the whole process. We specialize in different kinds of chronic and difficult miscellaneous diseases, we offer the best possible care in a peaceful and welcoming environment.

Prevention of Degenerative Disc Disease
Prevent degenerative disc disease by making changes in lifestyle early on. This will prevent toxic substances from weakening the spine. If you smoke, making a decision to prevent degenerative disease involves giving up smoking. The nicotine and other toxins in tobacco smoke reduce bone health. If you drink alcohol, you need to give up drinking alcohol. Alcohol can make the metabolism sluggish and this accelerates the destruction of the bones. If you are overweight, make it a point to reduce weight and reduce the pressure on your spine to carry the excess weight.

Maintain a good posture at all times in order to prevent the early onset of degenerative disc disease. Good posture helps ensure that the bones of the vertebrae are not strained. Lifting heavy objects by bending the knees and holding the heavy object close while carrying makes lifting less stressful for spinal discs. Standing and sitting for long periods of time can put a strain on the discs. The simple solution is to keep moving. If moving is not possible then put your feet up on a stool while sitting or put one foot on a stool while standing. Do not wear high heeled shoes constantly. Another thing that seems to help significantly is sleeping on a firm mattress.

Eat a nutritious diet. Your bones are made from the food you eat and a nutritious diet is required for healthy bones. Your diet should consist of plenty of fruit and vegetables washed down with water or fruit juices. Whole grains rather than refined cereals should be eaten in plenty. Poultry, fish, beans, lentil, nuts and tofu are other healthy food that you can include in your diet to prevent degenerative disc disease. It is however, important to avoid saturated fats in meat and artificially sweetened soft drinks.

Exercise is very important for preventing degenerative disc disease. A regular 30 minute exercise routine every day will help to prevent degenerative disc disease. This is because exercise increases the blood flow and blood flow supplies healthy nutrients and oxygen to the bones. Exercise releases endomorphins which are substances that work with the brain to reduce pain. Stretching exercises and weight training exercises also help in preventing bone degenerative bone disease.

Take your vitamins. Nutritional supplements help in preventing degenerative bone disease. Unlike medication, these supplements have no side effects. Multivitamin tablets, iron supplements, calcium supplements and zinc supplements help to increase bone strength and prevent degenerative bone disease.
