Discogenic pain is a type of back pain originating from a damaged intervertebral disc. This condition is often caused by degenerative disc disease, herniation, or other disc-related issues, leading to chronic pain and discomfort.
Diagnosis of Discogenic Pain
Diagnosing discogenic pain involves a thorough medical history, physical examination, and imaging studies such as X-rays, MRIs, or CT scans. Discography, a specialized diagnostic procedure, may also be used to identify the specific disc causing the pain.
