Back Pain Diagnosis
Back pain diagnosis generally begins with a physical exam by a healthcare professional, followed by reviewing the symptoms, your lifestyle and family medical history.
The next step involves conducting any or multiple diagnostic tests out of the following:
X-ray X-ray is generally conducted to help detect arthritis or broken bones, with subsequent MRI or CT scans performed for precise diagnosis.
MRI or CT scan These diagnostic scans generate detailed images that help diagnose spinal disorders and issues with nerves, tissues, blood vessels, etc.
Electromyography EMG is generally used to diagnose herniated disks or spinal stenosis (spinal canal narrowing).
