There are several tests that can be used to detect a herniated disc. Here are a few:
- Physical examination: A chiropractor or other healthcare provider will first perform a physical examination to assess the patient’s range of motion, reflexes, and muscle strength.
- X-rays: X-rays can show the alignment of the spine and rule out other potential causes of back pain.
- Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI): MRI scans use a magnetic field and radio waves to create detailed images of the body, including the discs and surrounding structures.
- Computed Tomography (CT) Scan: A CT scan uses X-rays to create a 3D image of the spine.
- Myelogram: A myelogram involves injecting a contrast dye into the spinal canal to make the nerves and spinal cord more visible on X-rays or CT scans.
It’s important to note that not all patients with herniated discs will require imaging tests. In some cases, a physical exam and medical history may be sufficient for diagnosis. However, imaging tests can be useful in confirming the diagnosis and determining the extent of the herniation. Your chiropractor or healthcare provider will determine the appropriate tests based on your individual situation.
