Lower Back MRI Understanding the Basics

The lower back, or lumbar region, plays a crucial role in supporting the body’s weight and facilitating various movements. Lower Back MRI is a non-invasive imaging technique that uses magnetic fields and radio waves to generate detailed images of the structures within the lower spine. This diagnostic tool helps in assessing several conditions.

  • Chronic Lower Back PainIndications: Persistent or recurrent lower back pain lasting for more than a few weeks.
    Purpose of MRI: To identify the cause of chronic pain, such as herniated discs, spinal stenosis, or degenerative changes.
  • SciaticaIndications: Shooting pain, numbness, or tingling radiating down the buttocks and legs.
    Purpose of MRI: To identify the source of pressure on the sciatic nerve, such as herniated discs or spinal stenosis.
  • FracturesIndications: Trauma or injury to the lower back.
    Purpose of MRI: To detect fractures, especially those that may not be visible on X-rays, and assess any associated soft tissue damage.
  • Nerve ImpingementIndications: Sharp pain, weakness, or numbness in the legs or buttocks.
