WHAT CAUSES SCHMORL'S NODULES? Schmorl's nodules tend to occur after trauma to the spine that causes wear and tear to it over time. Usually, if repeated trauma caused the formation of Schmorl's nodule, the patient does not remember a specific motion that caused the pain to begin.
Schmorl's nodes often cause no symptoms, but may simply reflect that wear and tear of the spine has occurred over time; they may also reflect that bone strength was at one time somewhat compromised, perhaps due to a vitamin D deficiency although this has yet to be confirmed with studies, or if heavy lifting is done at a young age before the vertebral bodies are completely ossified such as in young farm workers.
