Is it true that disk protrusions, torn rotator Joint N-11 Review cuffs, herniated disks and the like actually cause pain? It's not a trivial question. If a surgeon believes a spinal problem is causing a pain symptom, he or she may want to conduct an expensive and invasive surgery to "fix" the structural "problem." The "cure" could cost tens of thousands of dollars and require months of recuperation. It might be nice to know if structural abnormalities are a necessary and sufficient cause of pain.
I'm not going to directly answer the question of whether so-called structural problems cause pain symptoms. You will have to be the judge. I will give you some information from several studies that demonstrate how many people with structural issues are, in fact, pain-free. In other words, the research shows that some people have pain "causes" and yet do not report pain symptoms. Let's begin.
The first research I will cite was conducted in 1991 and reported in the Journal of Neuroimaging (Magnetic resonance imaging of the lumbar spine in asymptomatic adults. Cooperative study--American Society of Neuroimaging,1991 Feb;1(1):2-7.). The researchers used magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) to examine the lumbar spine (the lower part of the spine) of 66 asymptomatic people. Asymptomatic means they had no back pain.Twelve of the people in the study (18%) had either a disc protrusion or a herniated disk of some kind. Twenty-six of the people in the study (39%) had a bulge that could associated with degenerative disc disease. In addition, there were many other structural issues found, including spinal stenosis, and narrowed nerve root canals. The researcher's conclusion? "Degenerative disc disease is a common finding in asymptomatic [pain-free] adults.
