Coronal computed tomography (CT) scan of the lumbar spine passing through the L3 vertebral body of a 52-year-old patient with a Schmorl's node.

Most Schmorl's nodes are painless but some can lead to lower back pain. Treatment for painful Schmorl's nodes include rest and taking non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDS).
