Disc injuries occur when the soft inner material of a spinal disc pushes out through its outer layer, often causing pain, nerve irritation, or sciatica. Symptoms can include sharp pain, numbness, tingling, or weakness in the legs. Our Booragoon physiotherapists guide you through evidence-based rehab to reduce pressure on the disc, restore mobility, and build the strength needed to protect your spine.

Sciatica refers to irritation of the sciatic nerve, often caused by a disc bulge or tight surrounding structures. Pain typically radiates from the lower back into the buttock and down the leg. We use targeted treatment to relieve nerve irritation, improve mobility, and address the root cause so you can move without pain or fear.

The facet joints connect each vertebra in your spine and help guide movement. With poor posture, overload, or degeneration, these joints can become inflamed and painful—particularly with bending or twisting. Our treatment approach focuses on improving joint mobility, releasing surrounding tension, and correcting movement patterns to reduce strain and restore comfort.

Sudden lifting, poor movement mechanics, or overuse can lead to acute muscle strains or spasms in the lower back. While the pain can be intense, most cases respond well to early movement, manual therapy, and progressive rehab. Our Booragoon physiotherapists help you reduce pain quickly while building resilience to avoid future flare-ups.

Chronic back pain often develops when short-term injuries aren’t properly rehabilitated, or when movement patterns and stress build up over time. We take a holistic approach—looking at posture, strength, mobility, stress, and daily habits—to create a long-term plan for relief and recovery.

After spinal surgery—whether for disc issues, nerve decompression, or fusions—rehabilitation is critical to ensure proper healing, restore function, and prevent compensations. Our physiotherapists guide you through a structured post-op program to help you return to work, sport, and life with confidence.
