Description: Disorders affecting intervertebral discs include:
* Disc herniation (prolapsed intervertebral disc)
* Degenerative disc disease
* Infection (discitis) Spinal disc problems can lead to symptoms of back pain and/or sciatica. There are many other causes of back pain and/or sciatica but they do not primarily originate from the intervertebral discs.
This article focuses on thoracic, lumbar and sacral disc problems.
