This study investigates the use of magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS) to identify the intervertebral disc (IVD) as a pain generator, explore the pathophysiology of the biochemical and structural components of discogenic low back pain (DLBP), and present potential evidence of physiological responses to spinal manipulation therapy (SMT). A 29-year-old male presented with uncomplicated low back pain (LBP). The non-specific presentation and clinical examination findings were consistent with an initial working diagnosis of non-specific LBP with the clinician suspecting IVD as a likely pain generator.

- Biceps tendinosis is a less severe form of biceps tendinopathy that can cause pain and limitations in daily activities, particularly at the distal insertion site.
- Ultrasound (US) is an effective diagnostic tool for identifying distal biceps tendinosis, offering advantages over MRI, such as ease of use and convenience.
- Early diagnosis through US can improve treatment outcomes and help prevent progression to more serious tendon injuries.
