Do I need any tests?
Usually not. Your doctor will usually be able to diagnose non-specific low back pain from the description of the pain, and by examining you. Therefore, in most cases, no tests are needed. There is no test that can prove or confirm non-specific low back pain. In fact, some doctors argue that tests can actually do more harm than good when the diagnosis is non-specific low back pain. For example, the technical jargon used to report on some scans can sometimes sound alarming, when in fact the scan is just showing what would be normal for a given age and not a cause for pain.

Current UK guidelines are clear that routine tests such as X-rays and scans should not be done if the diagnosis is made of non-specific low back pain.

Tests such as X-rays or scans may be advised in certain situations. This is mainly if there are symptoms, or signs during a doctors examination, to suggest that there may be a serious underlying cause for the back pain.
