MRI's - To scan or not to scan - When you have low back pain do you require an MRI? Sometimes, but if your MRI comes back showing a problem with your disc, it does not mean immedaite surgery or that you have a "death sentance". It simply means that it gives your health professionals more information in order to treat you. The majority of disc herniations do not go on to require surgery, and respond to conservative treatment like spinal decompression. It just may take a little more time to fully resolve depending on the severity. A research study on the normal population having no low back pain shows that their MRI's have disc bulges/herniations too, but they have no low back pain. It stands to reason that if you have low back pain and an MRI showing a disc herniation, you can become pain free with treatment too, without having surgery.
