Whether you are one of the 16% of working-age Australians currently experiencing back pain, or one of the 70% of people who experience back pain at one point or another over a lifetime, you are most likely aware of the terms herniated disc and bulging disc. Disc injuries are one of the most common causes of acute and chronic back pain among working-aged Australians (1).
Below, is an all-inclusive guide from Upwell’s Exercise Physiologist (AEP), Billy Hughes. The 28-page guide outlines what a disc injury is, how it can be managed effectively based on current research and what can be done to not only get you back to full-life, but to also reduce your risk of possible complications in the future.
