Scans "no aid for back pain care"

Scans used as an only form of back pain care have proven to be ineffective. Osteopathically we will only use scans and xrays if it will change the way in which we treat or if red flags are present (ie. that treatment cannot commence until scans have been taken). There is the argument of reassurance for patients, where a scan or xray can take away some of the patients stress or anxiety.
