Disc Injuries

Detailed spinal analysis for disc-related presentations.
Disc injuries can present with back pain, stiffness, nerve symptoms, referral pain, or difficulty tolerating sitting and bending. Our Gonstead assessment focuses on analysing spinal mechanics and loading patterns that may be contributing to ongoing irritation.

Where appropriate, imaging may also help us better understand spinal structure and disc involvement.

Common findings may include:

• Altered spinal loading

• Protective muscular tension

• Reduced spinal movement

• Postural compensation patterns

• Nerve irritation associated with disc stress
