What is X-RAY - LS spine LATERAL VIEW IN FLEXION AND EXTENSION?
This X-ray records side-view images of the lower lumbar and sacral spine while you bend forward and backward. It shows how spinal bones and joints move during flexion and extension. Measuring motion helps detect instability, slipping of vertebrae, and abnormal alignment. Physical examination provides clues; a test result removes ambiguity and allows targeted, evidence-based management to begin promptly.
What does X-RAY - LS spine LATERAL VIEW IN FLEXION AND EXTENSION measure?
