Lumbar Spine Examination - Denver Back Pain Specialists

Dr. J. Scott Bainbridge is an interventional physiatrist and co-founder of Denver Back Pain Specialists, located in Greenwood Village, CO. Scott and his team believe in a multifaceted patient care approach through accurate diagnosis and catered treatment plans for each patient.

Here is a look at a typical physical examination used to diagnose the cause of general back, hip or leg pain. We will walk through a typical neurological exam as well as examinations used to check the back, hip and SI joints. The neurological exam consists of checking reflexes, strength and sensation functions. Specialists will also test hips and spine for range of motion and use specific movements to see which ones trigger any type of pain. Each of these exercises helps to identify which joints, discs or nerves are the source of discomfort. If you're experiencing any type of pain, tingling, weakness or discomfort, please visit our office located in the Financial Plaza at 7730 E. Belleview Avenue, Suite A-104 in Greenwood Village, CO.
