What is X Ray of Lumbar spine in Flexion and extension?

An X Ray of the lumbar spine in flexion and extension takes images while you bend forward and backward. It shows how the vertebrae move and whether they stay aligned. It is non-invasive and shows internal structures directly, providing information that blood and urine tests cannot.

What does X Ray of Lumbar spine in Flexion and extension show?

This helps doctors see instability, slippage, or abnormal motion between vertebrae. It is important for understanding causes of back pain and nerve symptoms. The test can reveal degenerative changes, spondylolisthesis, or post‑surgical problems. Doctors use it along with your exam and other scans to decide on treatment, such as physical therapy, injections, or surgery.

What symptoms suggest X Ray of Lumbar spine in Flexion and extension may be needed?

A doctor may recommend X Ray of Lumbar spine in Flexion and extension when a patient reports localised pain, swelling, or injury, a lump or restricted movement, or an abnormal finding on an earlier test that needs to be examined directly. If you have these symptoms, GetVisit offers booking and home collection across Borivali, Dadar, and other parts of Mumbai.

How is X Ray of Lumbar spine in Flexion and extension done?

This is an imaging scan, not a blood or fluid test, so no sample is collected.

A radiologist reviews them and your report is made available through GetVisit.

How accurate is X Ray of Lumbar spine in Flexion and extension?

What is a lumbar flexion and extension X ray?plus

A lumbar flexion and extension X‑ray are dynamic radiographs taken while you bend forward (flexion) and backward (extension) to assess lower spine alignment and motion. They reveal abnormal vertebral movement, instability, spondylolisthesis, or failed fusion that static images may miss. The quick, usually standing exam uses low-level radiation and helps guide diagnosis and treatment of mechanical back pain.

What is an X ray of the LS spine lateral flexion?plus

An X‑ray of the lumbosacral (LS) spine in lateral flexion is a radiographic view taken while the patient bends sideways to assess spinal alignment and segmental mobility. It helps detect abnormal motion, instability, spondylolisthesis, and degenerative changes between vertebrae. The exam is quick, noninvasive, and uses low-dose radiation; findings guide diagnosis and treatment planning.

What is the normal flexion and extension of the lumbar spine?plus

Normal lumbar spine flexion is approximately 40–60° and extension about 20–35° in adults. Values vary with age, soft-tissue flexibility and measurement technique. Clinically, total forward bending includes hip motion, so isolated lumbar contribution may be less. Persistent or progressive symptoms merit physiotherapy or imaging.

What is the lumbar spine flexion?plus

Lumbar spine flexion is the forward‑bending motion that decreases the angle between the trunk and pelvis, occurring primarily at the lumbar vertebrae. It produces anterior compression of vertebral bodies and discs while stretching posterior ligaments and extensor muscles. Typical active range is about 40–60 degrees. Excessive or repetitive flexion raises disc load and can contribute to low back pain or disc injury.

Do I need to fast before X Ray of Lumbar spine in Flexion and extension?plus

Most scans need no fasting, but some abdominal ultrasounds require a few hours without food or a full bladder. Follow the specific instruction shown when you book X Ray of Lumbar spine in Flexion and extension, or check with the centre.

How should I prepare for X Ray of Lumbar spine in Flexion and extension?plus

Wear loose clothing without metal fasteners and remove jewellery before X Ray of Lumbar spine in Flexion and extension. Bring your referral, ID, and any earlier scans so the radiologist can compare.
