Your MRI doesnโt tell us everything about your back.
An MRI can show us whatโs happening with the structures in your spine but it doesnโt always tell us why youโre in pain or how your back is working.
Your MRI may show things like disc bulges, degeneration or changes in the joints but sometimes people who have these issues have little or no pain at all.
An MRI also canโt tell us everything about how you move, how strong or weak you are, how your muscles are working, or how your back handles different types of movement or exercise.
Thatโs why we donโt look at your MRI on its own. Itโs one piece of the puzzle. Your pain, history, movement and physical assessment all matter too.
