Slipped Disc Care in Bundaberg
A “slipped disc” can be an incredibly painful and debilitating condition. At Family Chiropractic Bundaberg, we understand your discomfort and are here to help you on your path to recovery.
Understanding, Relief, and Recovery From Slipped Discs
Spinal discs are cushion-like structures that sit between the vertebrae, keeping proper spacing to allow circulation and necessary nutrients to reach the area. The discs also play a crucial role in spinal movement, absorbing shock and protecting spinal nerves.
Despite the name, vertebral discs don’t actually slip. Instead, they may bulge, herniate, or rupture due to trauma, ageing, and other conditions. Interestingly, discs are some of the strongest structures in your body. When one becomes damaged, it often indicates a deeper dysfunction that needs addressing.
When a disc is damaged, it may lead to symptoms like:
- Intense low back pain
- Muscle spasms
- Pins and needles sensation
- Burning or nerve pain
- Numbness
- Poor muscle control
Our Holistic Approach to Your Wellbeing
Our team doesn’t just address symptoms – we investigate the root cause. Our experienced chiropractors take the time to assess your spine and body thoroughly, locate the injured disc and determine the extent of damage.
We also identify contributing factors, such as posture issues and movement problems, and examine your daily activities and habits to make needed lifestyle adjustments. After we review the results, your doctor will create a custom care plan to give you the best possible results.
Using the Best Methods to Speed Recovery
Our goal for our patients is twofold – one, to relieve your immediate pain and two, to correct the underlying dysfunction to prevent future issues. Your care plan may include a combination of:

We’ll work with you to create a plan that gives your disc the best chance to heal while addressing the factors that led to the injury in the first place.
