Discogenic Low Back Pain Treatment

Risk factors for discogenic low back pain include aging, physical inactivity, repetitive heavy lifting, smoking, and genetic predisposition to disc degeneration.

The duration of discogenic back pain can vary widely. Depending on the severity of leg pain and treatment, it may last for a few weeks or become a chronic condition persisting for months or years.

Treatment for discogenic pain typically includes physical therapy, pain management with medications such as NSAIDs, and lifestyle modifications. In more severe cases, interventional procedures like epidural steroid injections or even surgery may be considered.
