Posterior Disc: sinuvertebral nerve from ventral ramus

Anterolateral disc: Grey ramus communicans of the lumbar sympathetic trunk

Anterior disc: sympathetic branches from the sympathetic trunk or ganglion.

Sinuvertebral nerve: also known as recurrent meningeal nerves or recurrent nerves of Luschka. Innervate the meninges, ligaments, and periosteum of the spinal canal and the anulus fibrosus of the intervertebral disk and carry sensory information, including pain, from those structures.
