MRI Scans are not always necessary to diagnose your back pain and can be misleading

People often ask us for a scan after suffering low back pain for what seems to be an age. Others are concerned as they have had a scan and have been told their disc has slipped or burst.
MRI scans are useful for certain things but can be misleading as it is normal to get changes in your spine related to your age. Below is a useful depiction of this. If you are concerned about you back pain please give us a call and we will be happy  to explain things further.
