Getting an x-ray, a ct, an mri, not only will not help you in treating your back pain, but there are even studies that suggest that having an mri can make things worse for people with low back pain.
If you've ever grappled with chronic low back pain, you might have considered getting an MRI or X-ray to figure out what's going on. But before you rush into any imaging tests, this episode of 'My Back Recovery' with Valentin Rosegger offers some eye-opening advice. Valentin, a seasoned researcher and physiotherapist, breaks down why imaging might not be your best first step unless there are serious underlying conditions at play.
He explains that many findings from these scans, like disc degeneration, are often just signs of normal aging and not necessarily the cause of your pain. Valentin dives into the importance of accurate clinical examinations and detailed patient histories to get to the root of the issue. He also highlights the potential downsides of relying too much on imaging, such as fear avoidance behavior, which can actually make your pain worse.
Instead, he champions evidence-based treatments and safe training methods that have been proven effective in managing and alleviating chronic low back pain. This episode is packed with practical advice and expert strategies aimed at helping you make informed decisions about your recovery. If you're considering an MRI or X-ray for your back pain, give this episode a listen first. It might just change your approach to managing your condition.
