Disc bulge, also known as a slipped disc, or disc protrusion is actually a very common injury we see at Brisbane Spine Clinic. It is an injury to the spines intervertebral disc and can occur in the cervical spine (neck) thoracic spine (upper and mid back) or the lumbar spine (lower back).

The Brisbane Spine Clinic has a particular interest in the complex structure of the lower back and understands the pain and frustration a lower back injury can cause you.

Sciatica is the umbrella term that describes severe ongoing leg pain stemming from the low back or the buttock area and can spread to the thigh, lower leg and even foot.

Whiplash, also known by its medical term cervical acceleration-deceleration (CAD) injury, usually occurs when the neck and head are forced backward and then forwards.

Did you also know that poor posture may also lead to other conditions such as spinal issues in the neck, nerve irritation and muscle spasm from poor protective posture?

Thoracic outlet syndrome refers to a group of conditions that develops when there is compression of the nerves, arteries, or veins in the passageway from the collarbone to the first rib called the thoracic outlet.

Acute neck pain is normally due to joint or muscle strain (overstretching or tearing of tendons and muscles) or soft tissue sprain (stretching or tearing of ligaments).

Sacroiliac Joint Pain is very commonly misdiagnosed as it can very frequently mimic low back strain or a disc bulge.
