The Importance of an MRI: Part One

I am a person with lower back pain. Two years ago, my back was killing me. For a few weeks I could barely walk. We tried everything: anti inflammatories

, physical therapy, even an X – Ray. In that X – Ray we discovered that I technically have half an extra Vertebrae. However, I didn’t learn what the real issue was until I got an MRI. I had a ruptured disc. The MRI put me on the path to recovery.

So what is an MRI? Simply put, it’s a scan of your body. Complexly put, it’s a procedure where the machine uses magnets and radio waves to get images of your body. Doctors can get very detailed images that can help diagnose something even as small as a tissue infection!

MRI’s are non-invasive and safe! So you won’t have to deal with any pain. They help doctors give the most accurate diagnosis that they can and can even help with early detection of health problems that may occur in the future!
