Study Notes

Discogenic Low Back Pain

Chronic low back pain originates from disc and vertebral end plate damage.
This damage triggers new blood vessel growth.
Sinuvertebral nerves invade the disc's back, causing inflammation.
Importantly, the disc's fibres remain intact, differentiating it from a herniation.
