Fighting Back Against Degenerative Disc Disease (DDD) and Degenerative Joint Disease (DJD) or Osteoarthritis
Whoever said “getting old isn’t for sissies” wasn’t kidding. As we age, most of us begin to suffer from symptoms that range from minor body aches and pains, to swollen joints, to reduced mobility. In both DDD and DJD (aka osteoarthritis), the cushion of cartilage between the joints begins to deteriorate. With CORA, pain and lack of mobility do not have to be part of the aging process.
