<unk>  are pathological<unk>  in the bones of the spine, the vertebrae. These<unk>  are situated in both the body of the vertebrae and in the end plate of the neighboring disc. It is important to understand that<unk>  do not represent an illness, but are a simple descriptive term used by radiologists in MRI diagnostics to describe common degenerative processes quite often seen with ageing. Because<unk>  are not an illness, dedicated treatment is not required and there is currently no evidence for a specific therapy beyond common therapies against backpain. In general, these<unk>  resolve spontaneously and it lies at the center of the<unk>  classification that it contains three different stages from active inflammation over fatty bone marrow transformation to a spontaneously healed state with calcifications.
