As a chiropractor and strength coach for adults 40+, everyday I work with people everyday to solve lower back pain, keep active, and give them the tools to maintain their lifestyle as they get older.
Degenerative Disc Disease is a common condition in adults as they get older that is best treated with movement and strength. The exercises I chose in this video serve two purposes. First, to ease pain and stiffness associated with the condition. Second, to build the strength required to limit impact on your spine and prevent your degeneration from getting worse.

This is my first time commenting on ANY video on YT. This was awesome. I’ve done so many routines on other channels and have ended up with a grumpy back and searching for the next video fix. This is a thorough and common sense routine. I’m not sure if it’s the order of the exercises or what, but it’s the best I’ve ever tried. Thank you!

Why didn't your doctor give you these exercises to perform?

[@toddartigue5509]

Started today. Thank you. Well see where we this takes me. Did crossfit. For 10 years . Loved it but cannot do that anymore. Sucks but I'm not done. This felt good.

[@csrock423]

Thanks for this great program. I am a 72 years young bowler, and suddenly I had hamstring, it band, lower back pain. My bowling was suffering as I was! Finally the doctor did X-rays and saw some DDD. I started physical therapy and the exercises are/were helpful. 6 months of various things. But I wanted to do more at home ( although several exercises are repeats with variations). You do the smooth moves instead of going to one position and holding for a while. Both types are fine, for different purposes. Now, I turn on your video, easily stretch out, and feel great. Back to bowling with no pain. Of course, it’s not perfect, nor a cure, but I’m able to continue what I live to do. I’ve recommended this to my bowling pals.

I was so depressed after my doc essentially said my only option was disc fusions. L4,L5 and S1 in rough shape but you give me hope. I just had a son and I need my mobility back. Thank you! I’m gonna stick with it. Night one in the books.

Nice work. Consistency is more important than anything else. Keep it up! 💪🏻

[@king0vdarkness]

Sorry to hear this, how are you doing now, any improvement?

[@joey3301]

Definitely improvement. I broke down and got a shot, not proud of it, but I needed some relief. It’s helping and allowing me to exercise more effectively.

[@Chrisg-216]

Was told I have DDD at 25, back fully gives out about once a year which is horrible mentally, physically, financially. First time it happened I was 13 and the last time I was 10/10 pain, saw stars and black for a few seconds, full grown man scream it was bad. I’ve seen results with chiro work and massage but ultimately the relief is very temporary. It’s been 3 years since that last one thank god but I just never feel right. Been using this video for a few weeks and man I haven’t been able to function without pain in over 10 years. 32 now and refuse to take this as a life sentence. Thanks for the simplicity it’s easy to follow everyday.

All of these put me in severe pain. Diagnosed at 17 currently 30 and been off work last 2 months. I’ve had enough.

[@DrCarlBaird]

If these are causing severe pain I would think something more is going on. I would recommend speaking with a doc in your area.

[@RealEstateInBoulder]

Hi Dr. Bairdi really like this video and you mentioned in it that you’ll be posting another one slightly harder… Have you done that? If so, can you let me know?? Thanks,

Any substitutions for the side planks and bird dogs? I have some nerve damage on the side of my left knee and this really aggravates it. Great video!

[@jom7276]

I know these exercises, and am glad you recommend them for DDD, as I wasn’t sure if they are good. I have scoliosis as well. I think my scoliosis caused my DDD. Just can’t find anyone to help me fix the scoliosis. Sometimes I’m in a lot of pain.

[@f4it7qn3o]

Dx'd with DDD and found your video excellent. Question: are any of these exercises or those in your 20 minute video contraindicated for SI joint pain? If so, which ones. Thank you again for your videos!

@@joancurts1844 I usually recommend 4x a week and mix in some other low impact movement on other days. But if you’re feeling good and want to try it everyday you should be ok. 💪🏻💪🏻

Is it normal to have some soreness in lower back after doing these exercises?

[@hansaheda]

Thank you for this video. Found it on time as I am diagnosed with DDD and also a disc bulge . I have a question. Is it alright if I climb stairs? Lying down on the floor to do exercise? Please let me know. Thanks.

[@DrCarlBaird]

Yes, keeping active is the best thing you can do for DDD. Stairs and floor exercises are safe choices.

[@BeeWhistler]

This is great but it’s frustrating… I keep looking for a full body routine for to ing, but either they strain the back, or if you include degenerative disc disease in the description, you get exercises that are ONLY for that, not that take that into consideration. I’m not having a flare-up, I’m trying to avoid one and get some exercise.

Hi, thanks for the video! Is the same routine recommended for herniated disc in a young man? I’m not sure whether the rounding of the back in Cat-Cow (the Cat part) is helpful to me - it doesn’t cause any pain but I’m worried it may worsen the disc bulge. I’ve been doing Cobra stretches instead to “push” the disc back into place. I look forward to hearing your thoughts, thanks again

[@DrCarlBaird]

Hey! This routine is NOT for a herniated disc. Would recommend seeing a doctor to address herniation before starting exercise routine. Could look I to Directional Preference Protocols.

I plank every day for 1 minute. Borderline still not enough to keep it under control recommend Side plank as well if you can find the time.

[@itslaterthanuno]

Are these good for degenerative discs in the thoracic spine as well ?

[@itslaterthanuno]

also are there any I shouldn't do if I get Costochondritis from twisting and reaching above my head?

[@Freemandemon49]

I have had right side pain and I just can't get any relief, I have been diagnosed with a degenerative this in my lower back, my back does ace ,but the pain in my lower side is very troublesome, I thought if might be a pulled muscle ,have done several exercise for PIRIFORMS/lower back pain ,with no relief. What's your suggestions. I am sick and tired of taken prescriptions etc. with no relief also. Appreciate a reply Thank you

[@DrCarlBaird]

I couldn't say without a full exam. You might look into your SI Joint and see is pain is originating from there.

[@statictech7]

Id add one thing. Using a reverse hyper machine

[@SimoneBower]

Are these exercises ok to do if the DDD is accompanied with osteoporosis? Will the benefits be the same ?

[@DrCarlBaird]

Yes, these movement are good for both ddd and osteoporosis

[@BreeWood-r5l]

Are these exercises also safe for a herniated disk?

[@DrCarlBaird]

@@BreeWood-r5l hard to say without knowing more about the herniation. I would be careful. You could try and if there is pain then stop.

[@debcatz8445]

I can't even get up into the plank let alone hold it

[@debcatz8445]

What do you do if you can't kneel, no amount of pillows or cushioning helps

[@DrCarlBaird]

You would have to skip anything in the kneeling position.

[@christinewilliamson4325]

Is that twist safe for lumbar herniated disc though?

[@DrCarlBaird]

I would seek a in person treatment for a herniated disc.

[@summersky78]

I’ve just been diagnosed with degenerative spine disease 😢

[@DrCarlBaird]

Most people have some level of degeneration in their spine after 30. Key is to keep moving!

[@king0vdarkness]

Anyone had negative affects from this?

[@Nycryda]

Every vid I’ve watched doesn’t show muscle building workouts … just gives calisthenics workouts… and I get u can build muscle with calisthenics… but it’s not the same… My question I guess is… if I have DDD can I build muscle and create a bodybuilding physique? Or am I just SOL and now I must just maintain the body that I have? Pretty much….If I look like “Snoop Dogg” can I build myself to look like “The Rock”, if I have DDD, or No?

[@DrCarlBaird]

Would depend on a lot of factors including age, severity of DDD, program, exercise form, etc.

[@ronaldphillips8750]

You might be able to do bench presses starting off with low weights and increase repeptions and see if it causes pain.

[@codecodeohh8500]

The side planks trigger a lot of pain on my one side, 😢

[@DrCarlBaird]

If everything else feels good just take out the side planks and work on the other areas.

[@SumGuy-fs8sy]

Me too, I have an annular tear and the twist and side plank is no good for me at all

[@king0vdarkness]

Pretty sure you should decompress the spine first
