M54.51 – Vertebrogenic low back pain

Vertebrogenic low back pain is pain caused by damage to the vertebral endplates and is often linked to a sedentary lifestyle, disc degeneration, and several factors that contribute to chronic low back pain.

It’s diagnosed through a clinical evaluation, imaging tests, and review of the patient's condition to ensure an accurate diagnosis that confirms the pain originating from the vertebrae.

Treatment options often include physical therapy, medications, or procedures, especially when dealing with chronic pain or persistent chronic back pain.
