This blog summarise the most recent evidence on the association between several MRI picture characteristics and low back pain (LBP). Recent data on the use of MRI in spine physical therapy is based on a study done by JW van der Graaf et al, 2023: In an MRI, there are a variety of different characteristics that could be related to LBP. In contrast, a number … Continue reading Role of MRI in spine physical therapy practice: An updated evidence.
