How To Test For Chronic Back Pain

  1. Undergo a full evaluation with a spine specialist
  2. Diagnostic testing, as necessary, prior to starting any new chronic back pain treatment program.

This will help identify the root cause of your condition and allow for creation of a treatment program most suited to your specific condition.

Chronic back pain is typically diagnosed using one or more of the following tests:

X-rays:

An x-ray allows the doctor to see your bones, joints and any possible degenerative lesions in the spine.  It does not allow him to evaluate the soft tissue such as muscles and ligaments.

Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI):

An MRI is a common test used to evaluate the soft tissues in the body, especially the spine’s discs, joints, nerves and bones.  The test is prescribed in a weight bearing mode to better evaluate the interverbal disc spaces.

Cat Scan (CT Scan):

This test used when the doctor suspects problems with your bones or when you are unable to obtain an MRI.

EMG:

This test evaluate the nerves in the arms and legs to assess possible obstructions.

Bone Density Test:

This important procedure allows the doctor to determine if there are signs of early or progressing osteoporosis.  It is fast, painless and noninvasive.

Bone Scan:

This test injects a small radioactive tracer into a vein in the arm that is “tagged” to a calcium like material.  It takes about 4 hours and has no known side effects.  It is typically only conducted to confirm the doctor’s diagnosis of specific bone conditions.

Discography:

This test is used to help the doctor to determine the level of the painful disc.

Myelogram:

This test injects dye into the spinal column to help flex the area before being x-rayed in order to allow the doctor to see affected areas more clearly.
