M54.89 – Other dorsalgia

Symptoms of M54.89 can include pain, discomfort, or stiffness in the dorsal region of the spine, which can be localized or radiating. The severity and specific characteristics of the pain may vary among individuals.

M54.89 is often attributed to poor posture, muscle imbalances, a sedentary lifestyle, heavy lifting, obesity, and psychological stress. However, the exact cause of non-specific dorsalgia can be challenging to determine.

Diagnosis of M54.89 involves a comprehensive assessment that includes a detailed medical history, physical examination, and, if necessary, additional diagnostic tests like X-rays, MRI scans, or CT scans. These help rule out specific pathologies and provide a better understanding of the condition.
