How is the annulus of the disc injured?

The annulus is the supporting structure of the disc, a multi-layer woven basket that connects the vertebrae together. If you repeatedly or with one sudden twist tear the annulus of the disc, it will initially consist of a circumferential tear, meaning the layers separate. If you get tears between the layers then it is going to loosen its overall structure and make it not as tight.
