Schmorl's nodes affect your vertebrae. Photo Credit Adam Gault/Valueline/Getty Images. Schmorl's nodes, also known as Schmorl's nodes syndrome, is a deformity of the vertebrae. The condition can occur through sudden or repeated trauma to the back or as vertebrae degenerate over time. Certain exercises may help ease the condition.
They may or may not be symptomatic, and their etiological significance for back pain is controversial. In a recent study in Spine by Hamanishi, et al.,1 Schmorl's nodes were observed on MRI in 19% of 400 patients with back pain, and in only 9% of an asymptomatic control group. Plain film x-rays only revealed about 33% of the nodes identified on MRI.
