No. Disc herniations are different from disc bulges. The disc herniations are generally more focal and the nucleus of the disc (jelly like substance in the center of the disc) has pushed through the outer layers of the annular fibers. Disc herniations also may contain is contain other particles such as bone fragments, cartilage fragments. In case of a disc bulge disc material are contained within the boundaries of annular fibers which is the tough outer layer of the disc.

What can happen if an intervertebral disk is hernieated?

As the spinal disc becomes less elastic, it can rupture. When the disc ruptures, a portion of the spinal disc pushes outside its normal boundary--this is called a herniated disc. When a herniated disc bulges out from between the vertebrae, the spinal nerves and spinal cord can become pinched. There is normally a little extra space around the spinal cord and spinal nerves, but if enough of the herniated disc is pushed out of place, then these structures may be compressed.


What does a herniated disk feel like?
