Did you know 80% of the population will suffer low back pain at some stage in their life?

80% of the population will suffer low back pain at some stage in their life, we only have one spine so taking care of yours is vital to a happy and healthful lifestyle.

Disc bulges are one of the most common complaints treated by a chiropractor and although they affect all ages and both men and women, research has shown men suffer from them nearly twice as much, the lumbar discs are one of the main controllers of the lower back and this is where 95% of bulge occur, somewhere around the L4/L5 or S1 joints.

25% of the population walk around everyday with some form of a disc bulge that is totally asymptomatic (no pain, signs or symptoms) so when you start to feel some discomfort in your back, especially you're lower back, getting it checked by a registered and qualified chiropractor is one of the first things you can do to avoid future problems that are harder to correct.

Treatment of disc bulges can vary depending on the severity but even the most severe cases where someone has been recommended to have surgery they can be helped back to proper function, in some cases with treatment it can completely reverse the symptoms and with proper rehab and after-care can go back to being a full functioning area of your spine!
