Red Flags
Weakness or numbness in a leg, loss of bladder or bowel control, pain after a fall, unexplained weight loss, fever, or pain that is worse at night deserve prompt review and imaging.
Why Scans Often Mislead
Disc bulges appear on MRI in a large share of pain-free adults. Treating the picture rather than the person leads to unnecessary surgery. Clinical examination guides management.
What Actually Works
Staying active, graded core and hip strengthening, posture and workstation correction, and manual therapy for symptom relief. Our physiotherapists build a home programme and review progress at set intervals.
Frequently Asked Questions
Should I rest completely?
No. Beyond a day or two, prolonged bed rest slows recovery. Gentle activity is better.
