Ultrasound
Ultrasound is a safe and effective way to examine the muscles, tendons, ligaments, joints and other soft tissues. Further, this imaging technique allows for examination of these structures both statically and dynamically (when moving) without the risks associated with ionizing radiation.
MRI
As technology advances we are able to see more and more detailed anatomy with imaging studies such as MRI scans. As we age however, our discs exhibit normal "wear and tear" which can make MRI scans abnormal even in patients without pain. Studies show that by the time we reach the age of 50, about half of us have abnormalities on MRI scans, even if we don't have pain.
X-Rays
Computed Tomography
In addition, many physicians will order a CT scan after the discogram to better see the anatomy of the disc and the exact location of any tears in the annulus which might be present.

Sciatica
Nerves from the upper and lower limbs (including the nerves that make up the sciatic nerve) enter the vertebral column and pierce the dural sac to reach the spinal cord. For various reasons these nerves can become irritated as they enter the vertebral column and cause pain in the lower limbs. This pain is felt as shooting down the lower limb and is referred to as nerve root pain or, technically, radicular pain (from the Latin radix, a root). The common name for this sort of pain in the low back and leg is sciatica
Whiplash
For convenience purposes, the spine can be divided into an anterior (front) section and a posterior (back) section, that work together to maintain proper function. The anterior section contains the vertebral bodies and the intervertebral discs and is the primary load-bearing part of the spine. The posterior portion, which contains the zygapophysial (Z or facet) joints, lamina, and the transverse and spinous processes, controls the motions of the spine and provides for all musculotendonous insertions on the spine. In the low back, the usual location of injury is the intervertebral disc which is usually injured by bending forward while twisting to pick something up, often with an outstretched arm. The posterior section of the spine accounts for about 20-25% of low back pain and 54% of chronic neck pain and can be injured through repeated bending, a hyper-extension (bending back to far) injury such as "whiplash", or through "wear and tear" of the facet joints, a problem which can happen with age.
Pinched Nerve
Spinal Stenosis - A narrowing of the nerve openings either around the spinal cord or nerve roots that can cause symptoms similar to a pinched nerve. It can cause leg pain in anyone, but most often does so in older people. Patients with spinal stenosis can have trouble walking, and the difficulty is usually relieved by sitting down or bending forward. It can cause aching or heaviness in the back and legs.
