What is a protrusion of a disc?

Disc protrusion (also called a bulging disc) is a common back injury that affects intervertebral discs in the spinal column. Intervertebral discs separate vertebrae and provide cushioning, support, movement, and shock absorption in the spine. They're made up of a tough outer ring enclosing a soft, jelly-like nucleus.

What is the difference between a protrusion and herniation?

Herniation and protrusion are two words for the same thing. If a piece of the disc breaks off, it's called a sequestered fragment. Surgery is almost always needed for sequestration.
