How Is Back Pain Diagnosed?

Diagnosing the exact cause of back pain can be difficult due to the complex nature of the spine itself. Dr. Neil Shah, Dr. Vishal Patel, and Dr. Christopher Happ are experts at finding the root cause of pain and prescribing treatments targeting that pain. Our first step is to talk with each patient, gather a complete medical history, and conduct a physical exam of the spine. Many times, additional diagnostic tests including X-rays, computed tomography (CT) scans, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), and bone scans are used to diagnose spine conditions.

Back Pain Treatments in Fort Worth, TX

Dr. Shah, Dr. Patel, and Dr. Happ offer a multidisciplinary approach to treating back pain. We’ve built close relationships with teams of neurologists, physical medicine and rehabilitation specialists, and radiologists who work together to create individualized treatment plans that account for a patient’s back condition and lifestyle. The vast majority of episodes of back pain will get better with time and can be addressed with non-surgical treatments. However, there are a few symptoms that are possible indications of a serious medical condition, and patients with these symptoms should seek medical attention immediately.

• Progressive neurological deficit (weakness in the legs or loss of feeling and coordination in the arms or legs) could indicate nerve damage.
• If sustained or increasing pain is accompanied by lack of appetite, unplanned weight loss, nausea, vomiting, or fever/chills/shakes, there could be a spinal tumor or infection
• Loss of urinary or bowel control could indicate severe compression of the nerves that control those functions
