The method comprises providing a device delivery tool； providing a device, the device having a first anchor and a second anchor, said first and second anchors connected by at least one connecting member； and piercing the intervertebral disc with said device delivery tool at a first location. The first anchor is disposed into intervertebral disc tissue at the first location. The intervertebral disc is pierced with said device delivery tool at a second location at which the second anchor is disposed into intervertebral disc tissue. Tension is applied to one of said at least one said connecting members to foreshorten one of said at least one connecting members between the first and second anchors.
