- UltrasoundPhysical therapists are trained to give instruction on posture, educate patients about basic anatomy and physiology, and instruct patients in body mechanics, stretching, strengthening and conditioning exercises. The physical therapist also works with the physician to determine if other types of treatments including ultrasound, heat, diathermy, transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS), electrical stimulation, hydrotherapy, massage or spinal manipulation may be indicated.
- MRIAn MRI (magnetic resonance imaging) scan is a non-invasive technique for imaging that uses magnetic field and radio waves to create high-resolution, cross-sectional images of the body.
- X-Rays
- Computed TomographyA CAT (computed axial tomography) scan, also known as a CT (computed tomography) scan, is a painless imaging technique that utilizes computer technology to produce detailed three-dimensional images of the inside of your body from a series of cross-sectional x-rays taken along an axis. Unlike an x-ray which shows two-dimensional images, a CAT/CT scan images reveal the interior "layers" of the body, including bone, organs, tissues and blood vessels, with a higher degree of precision.
- SciaticaIf disc or bone material pushes into or impinges on a nearby nerve root and/or the spinal cord, it may result in pain, numbness, weakness, muscle spasms and loss of coordination, both at the site of the damage and elsewhere in the body. Sciatica - often described as pain that begins in the hip and buttocks and continues all the way down the leg - is one example of a radicular symptom that may be caused by damage or deterioration in the lumbar spine.

- Physical TherapyPhysical therapy is an important treatment option for most back pain sufferers. A physical therapist is trained to carry out your doctor's orders to stretch, strengthen, and exercise your back in a safe and effective way. It is important that physical therapy is coupled with education, so that patients can be empowered to take charge of their own recovery.
- Slipped DiscA herniated disc, also called a bulging disc, ruptured disc or slipped disc, occurs when the inner core of the spinal disc pushes out through the outer layer of the disc.
