Most people arrive certain they know what is wrong. Because Dr. Alex X-rays every patient with a state-of-the-art, low-dose digital scan, the real story often looks nothing like the one they walked in with. Here is what that scan can show, and why it changes the plan.
A healthy neck curves gently forward. Years at a desk or an old whiplash can straighten it, which shifts the load onto discs and muscles that were never built to carry it. It is one of the most common findings on a first scan, and one of the most fixable.
Sciatica is a symptom, not a diagnosis. The burning down the leg usually begins where a nerve root leaves the lower spine. Imaging shows how much room that nerve actually has, which is the difference between guessing and knowing.
Degenerative change shows up on film long before it shows up as pain. Seeing it early matters, because the goal shifts from chasing symptoms to slowing the process and protecting the joints that are still healthy.
Posture is structural, not a habit you can simply correct by standing taller. A scan measures the actual angles, so the plan is built around your spine instead of a generic set of stretches.
The images on this page are general anatomical references, not patient scans, and the descriptions are educational. They are not a diagnosis. What your own spine shows can only be determined by your own imaging and an in-person exam.
