Learning to Talk to Your Back Doctor

At Spine Vue and many other outstanding back doctor clinics across the country, you can come into our office with zero knowledge of your back, your spine, and any potential injuries or conditions you may have, and leave feeling knowledgeable, confident and reassured.

However, we understand that many of our patients want to be able to study up on their own bodies and the different anatomical components of their backs and spines in order to speak with a back doctor. It helps patients feel like they can ask important, informed questions and really understand the answers. Here’s a great primer on the bones, muscles, tendons, ligaments, and nerves that make up your spine.
