A member asked:
What is a slipped disc like, and is it really slipped or crushed?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Herniated: The symptoms depend on how the disc has herniated and if there is impingement of any nerve roots. It does, in fact, herniate or "slip". It is not crushed. There are instances where the disc appears crushed on imaging studies but that is usually because of longstanding degenerative process (degenerative disc disease).
