Spinal Ligament Injuries
Did you know that the most common diagnosis for back pain is the sprain/strain diagnosis? A sprain occurs when a ligament is torn, and a strain is the result of a torn muscle.
In the past, there has not been an effective means of grading and diagnosing the degree of a spinal ligament injury in Woodbury. After all, some sprains and strains are more serious than others.
Specialized Software Measures the Damage
Using x-rays taken in our clinic, we work with medical radiologists who utilize computer software that accelerates the process of what used to be done using the doctor’s hands: assessing the spine for ligament damage.
We measure the exact amount of damage to your ligaments, so there’s no gray area — we know exactly how to help you.
The Impact of Spinal Ligament Injury
