Disc Injuries Relief in Melbourne CBD

Disc injuries are common conditions that can significantly impact your quality of life. These injuries can occur anywhere in the spine – cervical (neck), thoracic (mid-back), or lumbar (lower back), with the lumbar region being the most frequently affected.

Causes may vary from major traumatic events to repetitive strain or incorrect posture over time. Depending on the injury’s location and extent, symptoms can range from no discomfort to severe radiating pain affecting the hips, legs, feet, shoulders, arms, and hands.

A Chiropractic Approach to Disc Injuries

Chiropractic care offers a non-surgical solution to spinal disc injuries. Many people come to us after failing to find relief elsewhere. At Back In Care Chiropractic, we start with a thorough history, assessment, and diagnostic tests to ascertain the cause of your problem.

Our conservative treatment approach is tailored to reduce inflammation, relieve pain, and improve mobility. The process includes specific, gentle adjustments designed to move the disc without causing further discomfort. There may also be associated muscle and joint treatment.

Additional Recommendations

To support your recovery, Dr Zukerman (Chiropractor) may advise using ice, maintaining good posture, and using lumbar supports if necessary. Ergonomic adjustments to your workspace can be beneficial for those with sedentary lifestyles. Additionally, supplements like magnesium for muscle health and glucosamine for joint support can play a role in managing pain and inflammation.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is chiropractic care painful for disc injuries?

Many patients worry about the potential pain during chiropractic care, especially if they are already experiencing significant discomfort. Our adjustments are precise and gentle, focusing on minimising pain while successfully addressing the injury.

What happens after receiving care?

Post-session, we provide guidelines for self-management and recommend maintaining regular, less frequent chiropractic visits to prevent re-injury. It’s crucial to manage posture, particularly for those sitting for extended periods, to avoid aggravating the condition.
