disc pressure
Explanation:
I would use "pressure", instead of "load", as IATE proposes: "the pressure in the gelatinous mass of the intervertebral disks".

A proposal.

Peer comments on this answer (and responses from the answerer)
neutral  Dr Sue Levy (X): I think you have to use load here, which is an external force acting on the disc - disc pressure is measured within the disc and is the result of loading

  -> it's possible, but in this case I guess that load corresponds to pressure. I may be wrong.
agree  Vittorio Felaco: I would use load in the first instance of eccessivo carico and then pressure for the carico discale. I think that should work in terms of clarity.
