Disc Injury Treatment Randwick
Do You Need Help with Disc Injuries?
At Fika Chiropractic, we understand how debilitating disc injuries can be. Whether it’s a herniated, bulging, or slipped disc, these injuries can cause severe pain and limit your ability to move and function. We're here to help you recover naturally, alleviate pain, and improve your overall quality of life.
Do you experience any of the following?
Persistent lower back pain or stiffness
Pain that radiates down your legs (sciatica)
Numbness or tingling in your arms or legs
Weakness in your limbs or difficulty with mobility
Difficulty standing or sitting for long periods
Pain that worsens with bending, twisting, or lifting
Pain that is sharp, shooting, or throbbing
Disc injuries, such as herniations or bulges, are common causes of back and neck pain. They can occur when the soft inner material of a spinal disc pushes through a tear in the tougher outer layer. These injuries can irritate nearby nerves, causing significant pain, numbness, and weakness. At Fika Chiropractic, we focus on understanding the specific cause of your injury to provide effective, natural treatments that help restore your mobility and reduce pain.
Common Causes of Disc Injuries
Disc injuries can occur due to various factors, including:
Poor posture or spinal misalignment
Repetitive strain or overuse
Sudden, forceful movements (e.g., heavy lifting or twisting)
Age-related degeneration of the discs
Trauma or injury to the spine
Inactivity or a sedentary lifestyle
Previous spinal injuries or conditions
Our Approach to Treating Disc Injuries
At Fika Chiropractic, we take a personalised, evidence-based approach to treating disc injuries. Rather than just addressing the symptoms, we focus on correcting the root causes of your pain and restoring your spine's health and function.
Step 1: Accurate Diagnosis
Your journey to recovery starts with a thorough consultation. We’ll take an in-depth history, assess your symptoms, and perform a physical examination, including orthopaedic and neurological tests. If necessary, we may refer you for further imaging such as X-rays or MRI scans to accurately diagnose the extent of your disc injury.
Step 2: Tailored Treatment Plan
Once we’ve established the source of your pain, we’ll create a personalised treatment plan tailored to your specific condition and goals. This may include:
Chiropractic adjustments to restore spinal alignment and reduce nerve irritation
Soft tissue therapies to relax muscles and reduce tension
Stretching and strengthening exercises to support spinal health and reduce the risk of further injury
Advice on posture, movement patterns, and lifting techniques to protect your spine
Ergonomic recommendations for your work and home environment
Step 3: Prevention and Ongoing Support
Preventing future disc injuries is key to long-term health. We’ll equip you with strategies to keep your spine healthy, including exercises to improve flexibility, strength, and posture. We’ll also teach you how to move and lift safely to reduce stress on your spine and prevent further damage.
