What is a Schmorl's node, specifically with respect to the dorsal and lumbar spine.  Can this condition be caused by trauma?  What is the generally recommended treatment, if any?
**********************
Schmorl's nodes
These are seen as erosive lesions on the surface of the vertebral body, are caused by herniation of the central part of the
intervertebral disc, the nucleus pulposus, through the surrounding annulus fibrosus.
