Question
LINDA ASKS:
Do supplements help with preventing disc episodes?
ANSWER
Hi Linda,
Unfortunately, there is not a supplement that I am aware of that will help degenerative intervertebral disks. The most important factor in helping prevent intervertebral disk episodes is minimizing high impact activities.
