X-Ray / MRI / CAT SCAN
X-rays of the Spine may be necessary for the doctor to determine the cause of the patients complaint. X-rays will allow the doctor to analyze the mechanical structure of the spine to determine the source of the patients pain or numbness. Also the X-rays will be analyzed for any bone diseases, cancer or other abnormalities. MRI or CT are used to further investigate a patients complaint. This type of imaging is used to see inside the body or spine and to view soft tissues not normally seen on plain X-rays.
