Service Providers for X-Ray of Lumber Spine Flexion & Extension View
An X-ray of the Lumbar Spine in Flexion and Extension Views is a diagnostic procedure used to assess the movement and stability of the lower back (lumbar spine). During the test, the patient is asked to bend forward (flexion) and backward (extension) while X-rays are taken in these positions. This helps identify abnormalities like spinal instability, degenerative disc disease, spondylolisthesis (slipped vertebra), fractures, or other conditions that affect the spine's motion. The procedure is quick, non-invasive, and does not typically require special preparation, although the patient may need to change into a gown to avoid interference from clothing.
