Discogenic pain arises when the outer fibres of the lumbar disc are injured. These injuries typically occur when the low back is placed in flexion and/or rotation. Often the core of the disc may bulge through the outer fibres of the disc. The pain from dicogenic pain is deep and constant and is often worse in the morning. The pain tends to ease as the day goes on or with gentle activity. These injuries often present with compounding issues such as poor control of the muscles around the lumbar region. treatment for discogenic pain is orientated towards decreasing the pain, improving the control of the deep muscles of the spine and improving awareness of spinal position.  If the bulge in the disc is significant these issues can produces significant inflammation or compression of a nerve root in the region. Discogenic pain may progress to radiculopathy or radiating leg pain (sciatica) in these situations.
