A great question. And that was part of the point that I was trying to make. The MRI doesn’t necessarily tell the story of your back pain and why you are experiencing the symptoms that you are. Therefore, it’s very possible that you can avoid the MRI altogether and do the physical therapy. So to answer your question, if you don’t want to get an MRI and you’re not experiencing any type of red flag symptom presentation (loss of bowel and bladder, etc.), then don’t get the MRI.
