Herniated disc in lower back, or ruptured disc, or bulging disc – Are all different terms for the same problem (And the same pain, usually referred to as “sciatica”).
A disc herniates or ruptures when part of the jelly center “gets out” of the disc into the spinal canal, and causes pressure on the nerves. If you have a bulging disc, it means that this jelly matter didn’t completely go through the outer wall of the disc (yet).
The most common symptom of herniated discs id called “sciatica” – a sharp and shooting pain beginning in the buttocks and continues down one of your legs.
Other symptoms are numbness and tingling in the hands and feet, decreased sensation in the extremities and weakness in the extremities. You will probably feel this pain when you cough, sneeze, or even laugh.

The Herniated Disc Cause No One Told You About
There are a few well-known causes for herniation in the discs, such as trauma, aging, being overweight, improper lifting (either at work or at the gym) and the decrease of water in the discs (as we age). But the main cause for disc herniation (and you won’t hear this from your doctor) – is muscle imbalances.
These muscle imbalances, also called postural dysfunctions, cause over-pressure on the disc that will cause increased wear and tear over time. Eventually, the weak spot will “collapse” and make contact with the nerve outside the disc, causing you some serious pain.
Conventional Treatments forHerniated Disc in Lower Back
- Ice/heat
- Electrical stimulation
- Cortisone injection
- Anti inflammatory medication
- Back Surgery
Why Do These Treatments Usually Fail?
While these options may give you some relief, most of the time it’s a temporary relief. The worst part of it is that they do NOT treat the Root Cause of the problem – muscle imbalances. If you don’t treat the root cause – A real and permanent cure cannot be achieved (does that make sense to you?)
For instance, if you decide to get a cortisone injection, which will relieve your pain for a while, that same uneven pressure is still there and sooner or later the same problem and pain will come back, in the same disc and other discs in your back.
Doctors don’t have time to properly diagnose the muscle imbalances and teach you how to fix them, so you end up jumping from one failing treatment to another, not understanding why no one can stop your pain and suffering.
