Description
Dave and Rob discuss a topic that reoccurs often in their Facebook community – MRI scans when to have them when they are not needed and using the right language to discuss them
This episode is a great reminder about the importance of explanation and the right language around MRI’s and how they are an amazing tool but only one piece of the puzzle when it comes to the diagnosis of back pain. Listen in and hear great informative information
KEY TAKEAWAYS
Patients can often expect that an MRI is going to show them where their pain is
An MRI shows everything that is happening under your skin
A clear and skilful explanation of an MRI is vital
Language is really important when talking to patients about their pathway to recovery
Changes on your spine seen on an MRI do not corollate with pain and your spine deteriorating over time
There are a thousand different reasons why back pain can flare up
An MRI is looked at along with your medical history, pain, examination, and all other information
An MRI is just another piece of the puzzle
It’s a very good tool but not something that needs to be used as the first step with back pain unless there are red flags
BEST MOMENTS
‘An MRI works really well when used with the right patient at the right time’
‘MRIs are seriously cool and some of the best diagnostic imaging we have’
