Bulging Disc Frequently Asked Questions

Q. What the difference between a bulging disc and a herniated disc?

When a disc bulges you can compare it to a soft ice cream sandwich with the ice cream bulging out as it melts or a the bulge on a tire seen as air has leaked out.  A herniated disc is a true herniation of the soft inner material found in an intervertebral disc.
