Lumbar endplate inflammation is also known as inflammation of the endplate of the lumbar spine, when the inflammation is mainly aseptic. The first thing to understand is where is the end plate of the lumbar spine? There are five lumbar vertebrae, from top to bottom, the first to the fifth vertebrae, and there are intervertebral discs connected in the middle of each two vertebrae, and there is a layer of cartilage-like material between the discs and the vertebrae, which is called the end plate of the vertebrae. The endplates are generally hard and have poor blood flow, and when the disc degeneration reaches a certain level, an inflammatory reaction between the disc and the endplate contact will occur, also known as endplate inflammation. The diagnosis of endplate inflammation often requires an MRI of the lumbar spine to make a definitive diagnosis. For the treatment of endplate inflammation, medication is mainly used, and minimally invasive surgical treatments such as radiofrequency ablation or ozone can be used if necessary.
