The ones above it are normal... You can see that traction will pull the vertebra away from the disk and suck the disk back into place.. All the nerves run thru the spinal canal. if you put pressure on the nerves from the disk you have pain. So the pain in your butt or legs is not there it's from the pressure on the nerves in your back..
