herniated discs

Herniated Discs

Herniated discs are extremely common back injuries. They occur when the thick outer layer (annulus fibrosus) of an intervertebral spinal disc bulges or ruptures. Sometimes, the gel-like interior of the disc (nucleus pulposus) will actually break through the outer layer and leak out into the body. This is called a ruptured or extruded disc.

Types of Herniations

A disc can bulge in several different possible ways. The way that it chooses to bulge, will definitely play a major role in the symptoms it creates. A disc will usually bulge inwards, towards the spinal cord. It is possible for the disc to bulge towards the outside of the spine as well. The disc can bulge directly in the middle, or more commonly, to one side or the other.

Herniated Discs are known by many names...

* Bulging Disc

* Slipped Disc

* Ruptured Disc

* Disc Protrusion

Normal Disc / Ruptured Disc

herniated disc and normal disc
The normal function of the disc is to connect the individual vertebra in the spine, as well as act as a soft cushion in between the bones. It is like a natural shock absorber for the body. When this protective layer becomes damaged, there is a chance that the person might experience pain or other related symptoms.
