Do I Really Need a Scan?

We tend to get asked by our new clients whether a scan is required or not and when to get one if needed. Scans are typically reserved for specific situations, such as when a serious condition is suspected, symptoms are worsening, or when conservative treatment has not been effective. A scan can also be misleading, revealing age-related and normal changes that may not be the cause of your pain and may cause unnecessary worry, anxiety and fear avoidance.
