THE HIDDEN CAUSE OF LOWER BACK PAIN

Discover the Hidden Cause of Lower Back Pain

Lower back pain is one of the leading causes of chronic pain worldwide, yet in 40% of cases, the true cause goes undiagnosed.

That cause is Internal Disc Disruption (IDD): a highly common, often overlooked condition that leads to discogenic pain — pain originating from within the spinal disc. IDD can also cause pain referral into the legs, typically above the knees (especially in the hip, groin and thigh areas), severely impacting mobility, independence, and quality of life.

Dr Maré Moolman has made it his mission to change that.

Through years of clinical experience and deep research, Dr Moolman has developed a practical, evidence-based understanding of IDD. His goal is to help clinicians recognise and diagnose IDD more accurately — and help patients access better, more targeted treatment options without jumping to invasive techniques.

For clinicians and curious minds alike, Dr Moolman’s comprehensive paper, The Paradigm of Low Back Pain and Internal Disc Disruption, offers a structured, research-backed approach to identifying and treating IDD more effectively.
