How is back pain diagnosed?

Your diagnosis starts with a thorough physical exam.

He may use other diagnostic tools, like X-rays, CT Scans and MRI, to get a better idea of what’s going on inside your back.

Once Dr. Manohar determines the cause of your back pain, he starts building a treatment program for you.
