Example text
A number of studies have demonstrated that the anterior annulus has an afferent nerve supply that is carried by branches of the sympathetic trunk. The sensation of pain arises from activation of these nerve fibers by mechanoreceptors in the annulus or inflammatory mediators in the local environment. Some investigators postulate that the multi-faceted innervation of the annulus leads to varying patterns of referred pain. This fact, along with the high prevalence of disc pathology in people over 40 years of age, may be an underlying reason for the diagnostic difficulty in patients with discogenic low back pain.
