Home FAQ Is it worse to have a ruptured disc hernia than a general disc herniation?

Not necessarily. When the hernia is ruptured, it means that the disc is not only pressed out of its original place, but its wall is torn, and the contents of the disc slip out from their place into the spinal canal among the nerves. Though the split of the hernia means in general that operation cannot be avoided, the chances for improvement are similar to those in which the disc is without a split.
