Imaging diagnostics

...is usually the first step

Diagnosis and treatment of spinal pain are Dr. Eleonore Hecking’s specialties. If you do not yet have imaging results, referrals and appointment scheduling for imaging (CT or MRI) are handled directly through our practice.

These images help to identify or rule out potential causes of your symptoms.

If further tests are required for diagnosis, they will be discussed and scheduled during your initial appointment.
