Lower Back Schmorl’s Nodes

Schmorl’s nodes are small herniations of disc material into the vertebral body of the lumbar spine, often detected through MRI. While usually asymptomatic, they may cause lower back pain if associated with other degenerative changes or trauma.

Management of symptomatic Schmorl’s nodes includes rest, pain relief, and strengthening exercises to stabilize the lumbar spine. Chiropractic care can also assist in improving spinal mechanics. Though not dangerous, these nodes can signal underlying lumbar disc stress.
