Is this you?
You’ve tried to wait it out, medicate it, tried chiropractic and physiotherapy or “strengthen your core” but the pain keeps coming back.
Many people with disc bulges try rest, pain medication, or general physiotherapy, only to find that their pain or numbness still returns. That’s often because the disc itself hasn’t been specifically addressed.
Common disc bulge symptoms we see
Persistent lower back pain or stiffness
Tingling, numbness, or weakness in the legs
Difficulty sleeping or finding a comfortable position
Pain radiating into the buttocks or down the leg (sciatica)
Pain when sitting, standing, or getting out of bed
Feeling unsure which movements are safe
If you’ve spent months or years hoping it will just settle on its own , you’re not alone, and you’re not without options.
Why disc-specific care matters
These symptoms are often persistent because traditional approaches don’t always target the disc itself which is where the problem often starts.
At The Adelaide Disc Center, disc bulges and related nerve pain are our focus not a side note. Your assessment and therapy plan are built specifically around your disc condition.
Understanding what’s happening in your spine
A disc bulge occurs when the soft, cushioning discs between your vertebrae start to push outwards, sometimes pressing on nearby nerves. That pressure can create pain, numbness, or weakness in your back and legs.
-
Deep, aching lower back pain
-
Pain radiating down the legs (sciatica)
-
Tingling, numbness, or weakness in the legs
-
Difficulty sitting, standing, or sleeping comfortably
When the disc pressure and nerve irritation aren’t addressed directly, symptoms often return even after short-term relief.
