    A comprehensive interview about the nature and the impact of the symptoms and associated factors and the patient’s past medical history and relevant family history for a thorough diagnosis.

  • Physical Examination

    Assessment of the spine's range of motion and any areas of tenderness, along with a comprehensive neurological examination, to check for any nerve involvement.

  • X-Ray

    X-rays are useful for assessing the bones in the spine and the alignment of the spine. Can detect any instability in the spine.

  • MRI Scan

    Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) scans are used to get more detailed imaging of the bones, spinal discs, ligaments, joints, muscles and spinal cord or spinal nerves.

    • Bone Mineral Density (BMD) Scan

      Assessment of bone strength. Detects osteoporosis which leads to a higher risk of spine, hip and wrist fractures.

    • CT Scan

      CT of the spine gives detailed images of the bony structures in the spine. CT scan can also be performed for other parts of the body to detect disease elsewhere that may travel to the spine.

    • Bone Scan

      Spinal diagnostic test to detect certain spinal tumours of infections.

    • PET-CT Scan

      More sensitive scan useful for certain tumours for staging and assessing treatment response.

    • Nerve Conduction Studies (NCS)

      Measures how fast an electrical impulse moves through your nerves to identify nerve damage.

      Procedure for diagnosis of muscle or nerve dysfunction testing the electrical activity in response to a nerve’s stimulation of the muscle.
