Perth Disc & Sciatic Nerve Assessment Clinic
We review your MRI or CT scan, explain your diagnosis in plain English, and help you understand your non-surgical care options and when specialist referral may be appropriate.
Most patients attend feeling confused and worried after being told they have a disc bulge, herniation, extrusion or nerve compression.
​
The most common question we hear is simple:
“Is this something that will settle, or am I heading towards surgery?”
​
This clinic is focused specifically on lumbar and cervical disc injuries and nerve pain conditions. The first step is not treatment — it is understanding what structure is causing the pain, how serious it is, and what the most appropriate next step in management should be.
​
Some patients are appropriate to trial structured conservative care. Others are advised to seek specialist spinal opinion. Our role is to help clarify the pathway so patients are not left guessing or delaying the right care.
​
The purpose of the visit is clarity and a clear plan forward.
Non-Surgical Disc Bulge, Sciatica & Nerve Pain Care
Focused spinal care using structured spinal decompression therapy for patients with diagnosed disc and nerve conditions.
At Perth Chiro Centre, we are dedicated to providing the most advanced non-surgical care for lower back disc bulges, nerve impingement, sciatica, pars defects with spondylolisthesis (Grade 1 and 2) and related spinal conditions.
We do not focus on routine adjustments alone. Our practice is structured around delivering results for patients with true spinal pathology - especially those who have not found lasting relief elsewhere. Click this link to see the Spinal Conditions We Treat.
​
Perth Chiro Centre is designed for patients with diagnosed disc injuries and nerve compression. We may not be the right fit for patients seeking general chiropractic care or routine spinal adjustments.
​
We are the only clinic in Western Australia with four dedicated Hill DT Spinal Decompression Therapy tables. This means we see more disc bulge and sciatica patients than almost any other practice - giving us depth of clinical experience and outstanding outcomes.
Why Patients With Disc Injuries Choose This Clinic
We do not treat general neck stiffness or muscular back pain.
Our clinical focus is disc injuries and nerve compression.
This matters because disc conditions behave very differently from muscle or joint pain. Incorrect exercise, manipulation, or excessive stretching can aggravate the nerve and prolong recovery.
​
We regularly work with local GPs and refer to specialists when appropriate. If surgery is necessary, we will tell you. If it is avoidable, we will also tell you.
​
The goal of the first visit is clarity.
Not everyone needs spinal decompression.
But almost everyone needs a correct diagnosis and to understand why they are experiencing pain.

Why Choose Our Disc Bulge and Sciatica Treatment?
Industry-Leading Spinal Decompression Therapy
We are a clinic dedicated to the non-surgical management of disc bulges, sciatica, nerve compression and related spinal conditions. Our approach prioritises evidence-based spinal decompression therapy combined with tailored clinical assessment and rehabilitation planning.
​
We are equipped with four clinical HillDT spinal decompression tables, allowing us to provide structured programs that support long-term improvement in nerve-related pain.
​
Our care is rooted in clinical focus, structured progression, and measurable improvement — not routine spinal adjustment alone.
​
Spinal decompression therapy is a highly effective non-invasive treatment for:
​​​
-
Lower back disc bulges and protrusions
-
Sciatica and nerve root compression
-
Chronic low back pain
-
Pars defects and early spondylolisthesis (Grade 1 or 2)
-
Post-injury disc irritation​
Unlike clinics that offer spinal decompression therapy as an add-on, our clinic is purpose-built for spinal decompression therapy care. We treat these conditions as our core focus, not a side service.​
A Different Type of Chiropractic Clinic
Perth Chiro Centre has evolved toward a condition focused model of care.
​
While general musculoskeletal presentations are still welcomed, our clinic is intentionally designed for patients seeking assessment and management of disc and nerve conditions.
​
We may not be the ideal fit for patients seeking short term or routine spinal adjustments alone.
​
This clarity allows us to dedicate appropriate time, resources and clinical attention to more complex spinal presentations.

Who We Commonly See
We regularly assess patients presenting with:
​
• Lower back disc bulges and disc protrusions
• Sciatica and nerve root irritation
• Lumbar nerve compression
• Persistent low back pain with referral into the leg
• Pars defects
• Grade 1 and Grade 2 spondylolisthesis
• Recurrent disc injuries
​
Many patients attend after trying other conservative options without achieving lasting improvement.
​
If clinically appropriate, our aim is to provide a structured, non surgical pathway focused on stability, symptom reduction and functional recovery.
​
Sciatica and Nerve Impingement
​
Sciatica is most often caused by pressure on the sciatic nerve from a disc bulge or spinal segment instability. Our care aims to:
​
-
Decompress affected spinal segments
-
Reduce nerve inflammation
-
Restore functional movement patterns
-
Alleviate leg pain and neurological symptoms
Pars Defects and Grade 1–2 Spondylolisthesis
​
When a vertebra slips forward due to pars defects, pain and instability can be significant. We tailor treatment to stabilise and decompress affected segments, and to improve long-term function.

A Clinical Focus on Disc and Nerve Conditions
At Perth Chiro Centre, our clinical focus is the non surgical management of lower back disc bulges, sciatica, nerve compression and related spinal conditions.
​
Rather than providing routine spinal care alone, our clinic is structured to support patients presenting with true spinal pathology, particularly those seeking conservative treatment options before considering invasive procedures.
​
We utilise structured spinal decompression therapy alongside targeted clinical assessment to support recovery, reduce nerve irritation and improve functional capacity.
​
Our goal is to provide clear diagnosis, appropriate care pathways and measurable progress.
