are herniated disc and ruptured disc the same
A herniated disc is also known as a ruptured or slipped disc. While most people experience pain from bulging and herniated discs, some will never experience pain from this condition at all. It depends on the severity of the bulge or herniation and on the specific individual anatomy of a person. If pain is experienced from herniated and bulging discs, there are treatment options. Some physicians will choose to begin conservatively, with medications, physical therapy, or chiropractic treatment.
