Spreading spine health awareness

My name is Emma Spivey and I was diagnosed with moderate to severe degenerative disc disease in January 2025. This blog is dedicated to providing guidance, support and inspiration to those facing a similar diagnosis. I'm a project manager by profession and used my skillset to find solutions and resources for dealing with chronic back pain. 

I sincerely hope sharing my knowledge and journey helps someone in need. Having degenerative disc disease doesn't have to mean settling for a diminished quality of life. There are so many steps you can take to help your body heal and slow the process of disc degeneration, but it takes persistence and focus. You are not alone in your diagnosis. It's a privilege and honor to help you find answers and hope. 

When I'm not blogging about spine health and chronic lower back pain, I spend my time hiking and going on adventures with my two boys in the Pacific Northwest. I love being outdoors, camping and enjoying the beauty of nature.
