Lumbar discs are found between lumbar vertebrae in the spinal column and act as cushion or shock absorbers. Disc herniation or Disc displacement happens when there is injury to the disc ( mostly Annulus Fibrosus often called High Intensity tear in MRI ). Part of the disc fragment pushes into the spinal canal or neural foramen causing irritation or pressure onto nerve roots or spinal cord, leading to Sciatica or central cord compression.
Disc herniation occurs most commonly in the Lumbar spine, but can also occur in the Neck or Cervical spine. Leading to Cervical Radiculitis or radiculopathy. Here the symptoms often occur along the upper limbs and could manifest as weakness or numbness and Axial neck pain.
Disc injuries can occur from minor injuries in a weakened disc ( due to degenerative changes ) and can also occur in trauma or acute injury.
