How We Diagnose a Herniated Disc in Cary NC
At Triangle Spinal Decompression, we believe a clinical diagnosis is an investigation into the root cause of mechanical failure, not just a cursory look at a scan. Many patients come to our office after failing other treatments because their previous imaging was misinterpreted or didn't correlate with their functional symptoms. We utilize a comprehensive diagnostic protocol to accurately diagnose a herniated disc in Cary NC.
Biomechanical Restoration Through Precise Imaging
Following a thorough physical and neuromusculoskeletal exam, we utilize advanced imaging to visualize the internal environment of the spine. We partner with Raleigh Radiology to utilize Open Bore MRI technology. This allows us to diagnose a herniated disc in Cary NC with the highest level of precision. These scanners deliver accurate, high-resolution images that are critical to our clinical process.
The Diagnostic Advantage of MRI
No Radiation Exposure: Unlike CT scans or X-rays, there is no radiation used in an MRI exam.
Safety Profile: There are no known harmful side effects from the magnetic field or radio wave exposure.
Identifying the Nutrient Pump Effect: High-resolution images allow us to determine if a disc is capable of rehydration through our non-surgical decompression protocols.
Why Consult the Triangle Team First?
Our diagnostic precision is driven by a unique clinical perspective:
