Is this person experiencing low back pain?
Doctor reviewing man's potential back pain

When my patients in Wyckoff and Ridgewood tell me they are nervous about their MRI results.   I often have to reassure my patients that every physical therapist or physician must match the MRI with a thorough history and clinical examination in order to arrive at a accurate diagnosis.   Only then can you truly pursue the most appropriate plan of treatment.

In this case the patient had suffered a fall as an infant at the age of 2 that probably caused this high-grade spondylolisthesis, but only had her first episode of low back pain at the age of 18 that resolved with physical therapy care.
