Expert Back Pain Treatment Bundoora for Common Lower Back Issues

Lower back pain is one of the most common reasons people seek treatment, with up to 80% of people experiencing it at some stage in their lives. It is also the leading cause of disability worldwide.
 
Disc Injuries
Spinal discs act as shock absorbers between the bones of your spine. When overloaded or repeatedly strained, they can become irritated or injured.
 
Common disc injuries include:

• Disc bulges

• Disc protrusions

• Annular (disc wall) strains
   

Typical symptoms:

• Lower back pain, often worse with sitting or bending

• Stiffness after prolonged sitting

• Pain that may travel into the buttock or leg
   

Disc injuries are commonly linked to lifting, bending, prolonged sitting, or sudden increases in activity.
 
Facet Joint Sprains
Facet joints are small joints at the back of the spine that help control movement. Like other joints in the body, they can become sprained or irritated.
 
Typical symptoms:

• Localised lower back pain

• Pain when arching backward

• Pain with twisting movements

• Stiffness after rest
   

Facet joint sprains are often related to twisting movements, poor posture, or repetitive strain.
 
Why This Matters
The good news is that most disc and facet joint injuries respond very well to conservative treatment, including hands-on therapy and targeted rehabilitation.
