Understanding Spinal Disk Problems –

Diagnosis & Treatment

A doctor will do a neurological exam to check for any changes in reflexes, muscle strength, or sensation. Locating the origin of the pain by abnormalities in the neurological exam may be enough to identify a herniated disk.

A spinal X-ray may eliminate other potential causes of pain, but X-rays don't show soft tissue very clearly. It may be necessary for your doctor to order magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) or computed tomography (CT) scans to get a more detailed Spinal endoscope, a 3.8 mm tube that is inserted under local anaesthesia,
