If what is bothering you is not on this list, call the office. The evaluation covers whatever you come in with.

Lumbar and lower back pain that has lasted weeks or months, limits sitting, standing, or lifting, and has not resolved with rest or medication - including pain linked to a herniated disc or spinal stenosis on imaging.

Pain that travels from the back into the buttock or down the leg, sometimes with numbness or weakness - often described as a pinched nerve in the back.

Neck pain and stiffness from the cervical spine, headaches originating at the base of the skull, and pain or tingling that runs into the shoulder or arm, as with a pinched nerve in the neck.

Whiplash and other neck and back pain following a motor-vehicle collision, evaluated and documented properly.

How the visit works
A spine MRI often shows several findings, most of which are not the problem. The evaluation is about working out which one is actually producing your symptoms.
Epidural steroid injections, facet joint injections, radiofrequency ablation and occipital nerve blocks are performed in the office under fluoroscopic or ultrasound guidance.
You get told what was found, what each option involves, and what happens if you do nothing for now.
