What is a X Ray LS Spine Lateral View In Flexion And Extension Test in Chennai ?
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?
The test can reveal degenerative changes, spondylolisthesis, and some causes of chronic back pain. Doctors use these moving views to compare levels of motion, to plan or evaluate spine surgery, and to decide on treatments like physical therapy or injections. It is quick and usually done after a standard lumbar X-ray when instability is suspected. Laboratory analysis produces a numerical result compared against a reference range derived from a healthy population of equivalent age and gender. Clinical context determines whether a borderline result is significant.
What symptoms suggest X-RAY - LS spine LATERAL VIEW IN FLEXION AND EXTENSION may be needed?
A doctor may order X-RAY - LS spine LATERAL VIEW IN FLEXION AND EXTENSION when a patient reports any symptom your doctor has identified as requiring objective laboratory investigation , including unexplained fatigue, unexplained weight change, persistent pain, fever, or abnormal bleeding.

How is X-RAY - LS spine LATERAL VIEW IN FLEXION AND EXTENSION performed?
