Degenerative disc disease is a spinal condition that affects hundreds of people a year, and as we age, the fluid in the spinal discs begins to reduce and change, causing degeneration. The discs between each spinal vertebrae act as shock absorbers for our spine, and, like any part of the body that is being consistently used and compressed, it is susceptible to natural wear-and-tear. Often times, this change in the spinal disc fluid can result in thinning, fragile cartilage in the spine, which may lead to an abundance of pain. If you are middle-aged or have been suffering from back injuries, you must know very well how much the body changes with age. Unfortunately, degenerative disc disease is part of life, and it usually begins some time before x-rays can show signs of degeneration. Degenerative disc disease may occur in any area of the spine from the cervical to the lumbar area, and this condition can radiate to the surrounding parts of the body including nerves, muscles, and other tissues.
Traditionally, degenerative disc disease treatments consist of pain management pills with terrible side effects or surgeries with grueling recovery periods. However, at Monumental Health and Wellness in Colville, we provide an effective treatment called spinal decompression that is absent of medication and invasive procedures. Spinal decompression therapy takes a holistic approach to pain relief through the utilization of a computerized table that makes precise adjustments to the spine.

I have had the need to visit Monumental for a couple of problems over the past few years. One being neck and upper back and most recently hip and lower back. They are thorough, informative and have helped alleviate the problems i was experiencing. All the staff members are friendly and very helpful. I highly recommend Monumental Chiropractic. *
Colville, WashingtonBest staff ever. I am extremely happy with my care and where my treatment is going with my neck and lower back issues. I make the hour drive there twice a week to go and it’s worth it. I’m grateful for the comprehensive care I am getting to treat and heal my injuries. My pain level has significantly improved and I’m just over half way done with my 12 week plan. Highly recommend. *

Colville, WashingtonI’m too young to have spinal surgery! Good thing I came to get an assessment from Monumental Chiropractic. My career as a firefighter and construction worker has put allot miles on my spine and I started getting really painful sciatica. Before I came to Monumental, I visited the local clinic and was told that I need to take anti inflammatory pills and maybe consider surgery. I wanted a second opinion, so I decided to call monumental. Thank God I did! The staff are very kind, competent, and professional. They did a very thorough assessment and offered a clear strategy to begin a path to healing. I was very impressed with the different treatment options along with encouraging holistic approach that combines diet, exercises, posture, and stretching. I can go on and on but suffice to say I went from being in constant pain and stress to being vibrant and alive again. What a blessing to have this type of treatment available in our own N.E Washington! *
Colville, WashingtonThis entire team of people ROCK! Every single person in the office is super friendly, knowledgeable and helpful. I was in a car accident over 12 years ago and have degenerating disks and vertebrae that are trying to fuse together due to the whiplash from the accident. I am on week 5 of a 12 week treatment cycle and I am already feeling a noticeable difference in my neck and back. My headaches are rare and my back and neck are not even close to being as stiff and achy as they were when I first started treatment. If you are looking for a chiropractor who cares to find a solution to end your neck and back problems look no further! Monumental chiropractic is the place for you!! *
