Abstract: Stress profilometry is an effective investigation of the mechanics of intervertebral discs in vivo. Discogenic pain is caused by changes in the pattern of loading of the posterolateral anulus or nucleus pulposus.

“…In vitro disc pressure response to applied axial loading in the human motion segments was in agreement with previous human studies [24;51;52]. Decreased disc pressure for degenerated discs, as found in the present study, has been noted previously [53][54][55][56][57][58][59].…”

“…Contemporaneous discographic and profilometry studies have supported the hypothesis that painful discs are also usually disrupted [43]. The strong associations found here between disc degeneration and uneven intervertebral motion in patients, but not in controls, seem consistent with this.…”

“…[28] In vivo stress profilometry studies also confirm that load distribution across the endplate becomes uneven after disc degeneration, with areas of high spot loading, particularly associated with certain positions ( Figure 2C). Such irregular load distribution was found to be a strong predictor of pain reproduction by provocative discography [27] .…”
