Thank you for tuning into the Vori Voice, which is brought to you by Vori Health. Vori Health is a nationwide doctor-led specialty medical practice designed to treat back, neck and joint pain more effectively.

Low back pain is one of the most common types of joint pain worldwide, and most of us (studies say at least 80 percent in the US) will experience it at some point in our lives. We receive lots of questions from patients on this topic. Many of these questions are centered around whether or not our patients will need an x-ray or MRI.

Physical medicine and rehabilitation physician, Dr. Elizabeth Peña, DO joins physical therapist, Jared Aguilar, PT and health coach, Nicole Good, RN to answer our listeners' questions on low back pain and when an x-ray or MRI is needed. This episode also tackles the vast amount of misinformation surrounding low back pain circulating the internet and social media.
