What we help with
Bulging discs
At Coast Family Chiropractic, we understand that a bulging disc, often referred to as a “slipped disc,” isn’t just about pain—it can profoundly impact your daily life, from work to play and everything in between.
Contrary to common belief, having a bulging disc doesn’t mean you’re destined for a lifetime of pain and dysfunction. In fact, many people with disc bulges experience no symptoms at all, over 33% of the population, to be exact!
It’s crucial to know two things:
- Disc bulges can heal!
- They may not always be the primary source of pain!
Restoring full and proper motion to the spinal joints surrounding the affected disc—above, below, and at the site of injury—is essential for complete healing and rehabilitation. Our chiropractic team has extensive experience in effectively managing bulging discs through personalised treatment plans tailored to each individual.
Through our thorough 5-step clinical process, our mission is to pinpoint the precise causes of pain and dysfunction. By identifying these root issues, we aim to restore your quality of life.

What to expect?
01
Initial Consult
- Right away you’ll notice a big difference from other practitioners, our team will dive deep into your or your child’s case history unlike any other professional out there, really listening and taking the time to find the root causes of your/ your child’s health challenges.
- Many clients report that they feel excited and confident about care, because it’s the first time they’ve actually felt heard and found answers as to why they or their child is struggling in the first place.
02
Insight Scans, Functional Brain Testing & Neuro-Structural Testing
- During your first visit we deep dive into the function of the central nervous system, using state-of-the-art technology called INSiGHT Scans. They consist of three (3) individual scans that will find, measure, and quantify how much stress and tension may be stuck in the autonomic nervous system.
- Our team will also perform Functional Brain Testing to get a better insight into how the brain and central nervous system are regulating important functions such as movement, balance, coordination & posture.
- In order to gain a deeper understanding of your challenges, our chiropractic team may refer you for some spinal x-rays when clinically necessary.
03
Care Plan
- We understand there is no one size fits all approach to health. Every child & every adult is unique. After the Initial Consult, our team takes time to review your/ your child’s individual case history, INSiGHT Scans & functional brain testing (& x-rays if necessary). This allows us to recommend a fully personalised and customised care plan (frequency and duration of adjustments) for you and your family.
04
Report of Findings
- This is our favorite visit! This is when we get to tell you exactly what’s going on and give you a clear action plan to get your/your child’s health back on track! At this visit we will go over the INSIGHT scans, functional brain testing & any other testing from the Initial Consult. This is the visit where we get to answer every single one of your questions and concerns!
05
Chiropractic Adjustments
- Let the healing begin! Chiropractic adjustments are safe, gentle and work to relieve the tension and stress from the nervous system! We know that some people will be a little nervous for their first chiropractic adjustment, but for most people they are immediately put at ease by how gentle neurologically- focused family chiropractic care is.
