What Causes Bulging and Herniated Discs?
Bulging and herniated discs both result from damage to the discs within the spine.
A bulging disc happens when the discโs outer layer pushes outward, but the inner material stays contained. Itโs like pressing down on a jelly donut without breaking it.
A herniated disc, on the other hand, occurs when the outer layer tears and the jelly-like inner core leaks out. This can cause pain, numbness, or weakness if the disc presses on nearby nerves.
