Diagnosing The Root Cause of Back Pain
Diagnosing the root cause of back pain is crucial in developing an effective treatment plan. Our healthcare providers will begin with a physical examination to assess your range of motion, reflexes, and strength. They may also recommend diagnostic imaging tests, such as X-rays, MRIs, or CT scans, to get a better look at the structures in your back. Once the underlying cause of back pain is identified, we can develop a personalized treatment plan.
