Spine BarUnderstanding the pattern
Symptoms can have more than one possible source. An in-person assessment helps connect what you feel with your history, movement, and relevant examination findings.
Common reasons people seek an evaluation
- Pain that travels from the lower back or buttock into the leg
- Tingling, numbness, or sensitivity along part of the leg
- Symptoms that change with sitting, bending, walking, or position
What your first visit may include
- Neurologic and orthopedic screening appropriate to your symptoms
- Assessment of lumbar, pelvic, hip, and soft-tissue mechanics
- Honest guidance about whether conservative care is appropriate
