Reducing discogenic low back pain requires a multitude of interventions including exercise, posture, manual therapy, and education.

Another intervention that signifciantly reduces discogenic low back pain is dry needling.

“The present single-blind randomized clinical trial was used to measure the effect of DN on pain intensity and functional disability in subjects with discogenic radiating LBP. The findings of the study confirm the hypothesis stating that DN improves pain and disability parameters in subjects treated with standard conservative physical therapy.”

We see it clinically all the time. A combo of exercises, manual therapy, and dry needling can make a huge impact on people’s pain and function.
