Slipped Disc vs. Herniated Disc:
π Slipped Disc: General term for any displacement of the disc; can refer to a bulging or protruding disc.
π Herniated Disc: Specific type of slipped disc where the inner gel-like core pushes through the outer layer, potentially pressing on nerves.
π Symptoms: Both can cause pain, numbness, or weakness, but herniated discs often have more severe symptoms due to nerve compression.
π Treatment: Both may require rest, physical therapy, or medication; herniated discs might need surgical intervention if severe.
