Is it true that a bulging disc can be normal? PDF Print E-mail
Bulging or herniated discs are not normal if you think that a normal back is a completely healthy back without any changes of aging. Bulging discs and even herniated discs, however, are fairly common. So these things can be seen in the backs of patients without any symptoms. Your herniated disc will only be in need of medical or even surgical treatments when they cause symptoms at which time they can certainly be called abnormal.
