Disc Herniation AKA Herniated Nucleus Pulposus (HNP): Non-medical nicknames include slipped disc or ruptured disc.
When the nucleus pulposus breaks through the Annulus Fibrosis of an intervertebral disc.
Disc Bulge: Extension of the disc margin beyond the margins of the adjacent vertebral endplates. The nucleus pulposus remains contained within the annulus fibrosus. Disc remains intact except a small portion pushes outward. The nucleus pulposus does not leak out. The disc may protrude into the spinal canal without breaking open. This may be a precursor to disc herniation.
Both conditions can place pressure on the spinal cord and spinal nerve roots depending on their size and location.
Onset may be traumatic or non-traumatic. Traumatic onset can be contact or non-contact. Non-contact onset: Lifting (especially if technique is not perfect), twisting, torque and sudden changes in direction (cutting). Non-traumatic onset: Overuse injuries and degeneration.
Intervertebral Disc (IVD) Located between the Vertebral bodies.
Nucleus Pulposus (NP): Comprised largely of water. Contains cartilage cells and collagen fibers. Gel-like. Consistency of toothpaste. Contains proteoglycans, which attract water, which in turn supports the disc's structural integrity. Avascular. Primary function: Sustain and transmit pressure that is exerted through the vertebral column.
Annulus Fibrosis: Transition from Nucleus Pulposus to annulus fibrosis is gradual. Occurs from the central portion of the disc, moves laterally in any direction. Fibers become progressively more distinct toward the periphery of the disc. Fibers are arranged in alternately oriented concentric ring layers. Contribute to the tensile strength of the annular ring. The annular fibers are thicker anteriorly than posteriorly which contributes to the tendency of nuclear matter to extrude posteriorly.

Hi doctor!! i injured my lower back at work while lifting heavy object ( with bad posture ) . I work as a steel fixer. I went to doc and psychiatrist, and i did xray, it shows my mild disc narrowing at l5-s1. So psychiatrist said it may be disc bulge. I am also doing some light stretching/ exercise…..Its been 6 weeks now, and pain is a bit down. It stills hurts while bending, ..but i dont feel much pain when i bend down with a good posture …can i go back to work and work with a good posture now? Do u think my case is serious?
