Spinal Ligament Injuries As A Very Common Undiagnosed Cause Of Pain.
Spinal ligament injuries are one of the most common causes of chronic spinal pain and disability today. These injuries often occur with traumas like car accidents, sports injuries, work injuries, and falls.
Most doctors and healthcare practitioners do not really understand these injuries, how to evaluate for them, or what types of imaging tests to do to properly diagnose the severity.
This is because the most common imaging tools used do not show these serious injuries.
Most health care practitioners rely on standard x-rays and MRIs to look at the spine for neck and back problems.
These imaging studies show certain things that can be valuable for diagnosis, however, they do not show the severity of spinal ligament injuries or how much the torn ligaments allow the bones to slip out of place with movement.
The first step for you getting the right help, the right treatment, regardless of who you see is to properly diagnose the cause of the symptoms. This is what is referred to as the diagnosis. Unfortunately, injury to the small spinal ligaments are far too often missed.
