Do I Need an MRI for Back Pain? One of the most common questions we hear is, "Should I get an MRI for my back pain?" The answer depends on your symptoms and a thorough clinical assessment. Many people are surprised to learn that MRI findings such as disc bulges and age-related changes are common even in people who have no back pain. This is why an MRI is not always the first step in managing back pain. In many cases, a detailed physiotherapy assessment can help identify the cause of your symptoms and guide the most appropriate treatment. An MRI may be recommended if you have: ✔ Persistent back pain that is not improving ✔ Pain radiating into the leg ✔ Progressive muscle weakness ✔ When surgery or spinal injections are being considered 💡 Dr. Rangwala's Take: "An MRI is a valuable investigation when used for the right reasons. It should complement a thorough clinical assessment—not replace it." At Rangwala Physiotherapy Centre, we believe in evidence-based care that helps you understand your condition and regain confidence in movement. 📍 Cuffe Parade | Mazgaon 📞 9869001523 | 9029285872 🌐 www.rangwalaphysiotherapy.in
