Bulging Disc. A bulging disc is a common condition where one of the one of your intervertebral discs, which cushion the bones in your spine, has weakened and lost its shape. The bulging disc can press against a spinal nerve, causing chronic pain and other symptoms.
A severe bulging neck disc, with tearing of the outer layers of the disc is called a herniated disc in neck and involves the disc pushing into the spinal canal. In the case of a herniated disc in neck, the herniation occurs in the cervical spine (neck). All other herniated disc conditions, thoracic and lumbar, are called herniated discs in the back. Although quite uncommon, a herniated disc can occur in the thoracic region of the spine.
