What is the difference between lumbar disc bulge, disc protrusion, disc herniation, disc extrusion

What are the differences between disc bulge and disc extrusion ?

Let me explain. 👇

Disc bulges are common in lumbar spine. Disc bulge happens when the Outer layer of annulus fibrosus weakens, causing a slight bulge.

Disc protrusion or Herniation happens when the nucleus pulposus pushes against a weakened layer of annulus fibrosis and could compress the nerve.

In comparison, Disc Extrusion happens when nucleus pulposus breaks through annulus fibrosus but is still stay connected together.

Disc Sequestration happens when the nucleus pulposus breaks free, becoming a separate fragment in the epidural space.

The severity of your injury, does not have anything to do with the type nor the size of your disc bulge. Learn how to manage your disc bulge in my youtube channel.
