Back pain is common but sometimes it’s more than just a muscle strain
When back pain doesn’t go away or comes with red-flag symptoms like fever, numbness, or weakness, imaging tests can reveal what’s really happening inside your spine
MRI, CT and X-ray scans can uncover hidden issues such as herniated discs, infections, fractures, or even cancer that simple exams might miss
If your pain worsens at night, follows an injury, or comes with weight loss or leg weakness, don’t ignore it
