A very common question we get at the clinic is if a patient requires imaging (such as an x-ray) prior to coming in for an appointment.
The answer is actually no!
The correlation between pain/symptoms and findings on imaging are actually lower than you may believe. A study on the association of findings on imaging of the low back and symptoms show that positive findings don’t actually predict our future low back pain. The main reason that we, as physios, would require imaging is if we feel that its possible findings would change our course of treatment.
So, why subject yourself to the wait times, phone calls, appointments and potential radiation if it won’t even change your course of treatment?

This patient came in with a painful and disturbing clunking sensation while reaching overhead. With his consistency you can see his progress through his injury rehabilitation.
Many people don’t realize that they can come in BEFORE they have pain. You don’t have to wait until the pain effects your quality of life to come to physio.
