degenerative, compressed disk? - aching neck

[Guest guest]

Hi everyone - I have a friend who is 36, who's been having

a lot of neck pain. A physician did an MRI and told her

she had the spine of a 52 year old woman. The cusion between

some of her vertebrates is gone or nearly gone.

I'm not sure if this would be compressed or degenerative

disk or not. I don't have the official diagnosis.

Does anyone know of a way to treat the pain, get the body

to rebuild the cusion and know of any deficiencies that may

be causing this? Any other info would be of great help to.

I may not be able to respond until after the 21st. I will

be out of town. Thank you!!!!!!!

Have her 1) abandon the MD, because he's totally USELESS, especially

when it comes to back problems, and 2) Go. See. A chiropractor. Find

a good one. Massage therapy in conjunction with regular chiropractic

care might also be a good idea; the massage usually maximizes the

benefits of the spinal adjustments. She also needs to evaluate her

lifestyle and why she might've gotten that way in the first place. Is

it from an accident of some kind? A fall? Years of poor posture? Lack

of bone minerals? Too much sitting and not enough exercise? Finding

the cause is just as important as obtaining treatment. Both should be

done, and soon

 

Hope that helps

Thank you Jen. Overall, her lifestyle is really healthy.

She has been in some accidents years ago (one serious one

as a child - body cast, and one with me 20 years ago, where

we both got whiplash. Posture could be a culpruit - mainly

posture when she is working out. I'll forward all recommendations

to her.

Are there ways to re-build the cusion?

I take daily plain gelatin, mixed with nutritional yeast, gelatin is

reputed to regenerate cartilage.
