The presentation of facet arthropathy is generally that of a progressive pain, rather than an acute process, 5 with whiplash injuries representing the exception. 8,9 Patients with facetogenic pain Introduction. Lower back pain (LBP) has a lifetime prevalence of 80% in the United States population, and is the third largest United States healthcare expenditure, behind diabetes and ischemic heart disease. 1,2 Specifically, discogenic back pain (DBP) is a subcategory of back pain defined as pain due to pathology of the disc. Despite the absence of radiographic evidence of disc herniation Currently, there is no specific code to classify and define discogenic pain as a unique source of pain distinct from other recognized sources of chronic low back pain including facetogenic, neurocompressive including herniation and/or stenosis, sacroiliac, vertebrogenic, and psychogenic. All of these other sources have well-defined ICD-10-CM codes. As the most common cause of disability in adults over 45 years old, 70-80% of adults experience an episode of low back pain at least once during their lifetime. 1 The prevalence of facet joint pain in the cervical spine ranges from 36% to 55%. In the lumbar spine it is 15% to 45%. In whiplash disorders, the overall prevalence is 60% for C2-3 or Discogenic pain studies: discography with a concordant pain provocation score of 6 out of 10 or greater and an adjacent pain-free control disc; ii) Facet joint pain studies: greater than or equal to 80% pain relief with double blocks (using a placebo control or comparator local anaesthetic) to account for concurrent pain generators; Low back pain is one of the most common musculoskeletal complaints encountered in clinical practice. It is the leading cause of disability in the developed world and accounts for billions of dollars in healthcare costs annually. Although epidemiological studies vary, the incidence of low back pain is estimated to be 5% to 10%, with a lifetime prevalence of 60% to 90%.
