How Is Back Pain Diagnosed?
Uhm, did you know that your doctor is in charge of the treatment, not you?) You should have told about the treatment of back pain, because not all methods work! For example, my doctor prescribed pills, injections, even painkillers, but nothing worked. Then my friend gave me to taste the tea he drinks to prevent muscle tension. You know what? After 5 minutes after drinking tea, my back almost stopped hurting, or rather, the pain became much less. Now I make this tea myself according to this article from this site. May be this link will help to someone.
In addition to performing a complete history and physical exam for your back pain, your doctor may suggest one of the following diagnostic studies: • X-rays, which can be used to provide detail of the bone structures in the spine and to check for instability (such as spondylolisthesis, see below), tumors, and fractures. • CT scans, which can identify specific conditions, such as a herniated disc or spinal stenosis. • MRI scans, which can provide details about the backs’ discs and nerve roots. MRI scans are most commonly used for pre-surgical planning. • CT scans, which can identify specific conditions, such as a herniated disc or spinal stenosis. A number of other imaging and electrical studies may also be used to identify back problems, and some injections are used for diagnostic purposes as well as for pain relief.
