Neck stiffness, radiating pain, or a dull ache that lingers—these can be signs of degenerative disc disease in the neck. The condition develops when the discs between the cervical vertebrae begin to break down, often due to age, wear, or injury.
While not every disc change causes pain, some lead to nerve pressure, reduced flexibility, and difficulty turning your head. When symptoms interfere with daily activity, focused care is essential.
At Upswing Health, we provide fast, expert support for neck conditions—starting with a simple online tool.
Here’s how to begin:
- Use our AI-powered Symptom Assessment Tool. It asks a few focused questions to help identify whether your symptoms could be linked to degenerative disc disease or another cervical spine issue.
- Certified Athletic Trainers (Upswing Coaches) are available daily to discuss your results and recommend next steps. If needed, they’ll connect you to an orthopedic specialist for deeper evaluation.
- Our board-certified orthopedic and sports medicine physicians will review your symptoms, answer your questions, and outline a clear path forward—often without requiring an in-person visit.
- Treatment for degenerative disc disease in the neck often starts with non-surgical care:
– Guided posture correction
– Targeted stretching and mobility work
– Strengthening for neck and shoulder muscles
– Pain management techniques
If additional care is needed, we can refer you for imaging, physical therapy, or specialist evaluation—all within your network.
Upswing Health offers a supportive and efficient way to manage neck pain. We focus on helping you stay active, informed, and in control of your recovery—without unnecessary delays or referrals.
