Answer
Intervertebral discs are present between two vertebrae, acting as a cushion and shock absorber. They also allow some movement in the spine.
A herniated disc occurs when the intervertebral disc slips out from its position. It can occur due to drying of the discs or weakening of the ligaments of the vertebral column. It may also be caused by external twisting forces on spine.
