Lumbosacral Discogenic Syndrome

Lumbosacral discogenic syndrome is a prevalent cause of axial low back pain (ALBP) that can result from various structures such as facet joints, spinal muscles, and ligaments. ALBP is a significant clinical and socioeconomic burden globally, leading to substantial healthcare costs. To address this challenge, healthcare professionals must accurately diagnose and treat the condition. This informative CME activity provides a comprehensive review of the assessment and management of lumbosacral discogenic syndrome while emphasizing the crucial role of an interprofessional healthcare team in evaluating and treating patients with this condition. Participants gain valuable insights into this syndrome’s pathophysiology, evaluation, and treatment, mainly focusing on pain originating from intervertebral disc pathology.
