- [Bulge? Disc Protrusion? Slipped Disc? What’s the difference?](https://backinhealthosteo.com.au/bulge-disc-protrusion-slipped-disc-what-s-the-difference/): The vertebrae are the building blocks of the spine. In the lumbar region, there are 5 large vertebrae (named L1-5 in descending order). The primary function of the lumbar vertebrae is to bear the weight of the entire trunk whilst providing a moveable support structure and to protect the spinal cord. Located between the body of the vertebrae are the intervertebral discs. A healthy intervertebral disc comprises two parts. The centre of the disc is called the nucleus pulposus, which comprises a strong gelatinous like substance. The outer part is the annulus fibrosis. This is rich in pain carrying nerve fibres called nociceptors, in particular the outer 1/3 of the disc. When the disc loses its elasticity, it may protrude outside its normal boundary and may compress the spinal nerves or spinal cord.
- [The Myths & Truths behind Myofascial Cupping Therapy](https://backinhealthosteo.com.au/the-myths-truths-behind-myofascial-cupping-therapy/): Cupping has been popularised in recent times by celebrities showing off distinctive circular marks on their torsos. Starting with Gwyneth Paltrow, it seems to have become a celebrity fashion accessory with the likes of Jennifer Aniston, Victoria Beckham and Justin Bieber following suit and deliberately showing these marks off in public. But what exactly are its health merits?

- [Strength Testing](https://backinhealthosteo.com.au/strength-testing/): At Back In Health, we use Isometric Strength testing to measure your strength, movement quality, asymmetry, and rate of force development with precision that hands-on assessment alone can't provide. The result is a clear, data-driven picture of where you are now and how your progress can be tracked over time.
- [Exercise Rehabilitation](https://backinhealthosteo.com.au/exercise-rehabilitation/): Rehab at Back In Health isn't a generic sheet of exercises. It's a program built specifically around your injury, your body, and what you're working toward, whether that's returning to sport, getting back to the gym, or simply moving through your day without pain. Your practitioner monitors your progress and adjusts the program as you improve.
- [Myofascial Cupping](https://backinhealthosteo.com.au/cupping/): Cupping uses gentle suction to lift and decompress soft tissue, encouraging circulation, reducing tension, and creating space for the body to move more freely. At Back In Health, myofascial cupping is used therapeutically — as part of a structured treatment plan, informed by your osteopathic assessment. You may notice marks on the skin afterward; this is a normal response and typically fades within a few days.
- [Remedial Massage](https://backinhealthosteo.com.au/remedial-massage/): Remedial massage at Back In Health Osteopathy is clinical and purposeful. We understand your body before the session begins, informed by your osteopathic history, so the work is targeted, not generalised. If you're carrying tension from long hours at a desk, managing a recurring injury, or recovering from something specific, this is outcome-focused treatment rather than relaxation therapy.
- [Dry Needling](https://backinhealthosteo.com.au/dry-needling/): Dry needling uses fine, sterile needles to release trigger points - tight, overactive spots in muscle tissue that contribute to pain, restricted movement, and referred symptoms. At Back In Health Osteopathy, we also offer Electro Dry Needling (EDN), where a gentle electrical current is passed through the needles to amplify the effect. EDN is often used for chronic or persistent presentations. It requires advanced post-graduate certification.
- [Osteopathy](https://backinhealthosteo.com.au/osteopathy/): Osteopathy focuses on treating the root cause of pain, not just the symptoms. We take the time to understand your body and create a treatment plan that works for you.

We provide strategies you can apply beyond the clinic to combat postural problems, bio-mechanical factors, repetitive strain and/or micro trauma for example.Our goal is to prevent the recurrence of pain, so you can get back to what’s important – living life.
