What I found out is that there are two kinds of PT available. The traditional PT does nothing to help degenerative disc disease. However, neurological PT is far different and has helped me to avoid back surgery.

Although I have been advised by a spine specialist and neurosurgeon to have disc surgery for spondylosis, I have other problems that would be a major problem during surgery. Neurological PT exercises must be done at home to help degenerative disc disease. However, the PT sessions and work at home do improve the pain.

If you are trying to avoid back surgery, this is the alternative!

Good luck!
