How is Back Pain Diagnosed?

X-rays: This method allows the doctor to study the alignment of the bones and determine if the patient has arthritis or broken bones.

MRI/CT Scanning: Magnetic resonance imaging and CT scans can reveal problems with discs, tendons, tissues, nerves, ligaments, muscles, blood vessels, and bones.

Bone Scan: Used for detecting bone tumors or compression fractures caused by osteoporosis.

Electromyography (EMG): An EMG measures the electrical impulses produced by nerves in response to muscles.

Blood testing: A blood test is ordered if an infection is suspected.
