People with pain frequently undergo imaging scans. These can be useful in the right context, but can also create a lot of anxiety for people who learn they have issues such as “disc degeneration”. This handout is useful to alleviate some of the anxiety that can accompany imaging scans. This printable handout is for occupational therapists working with adult patients, covering Chronic Pain. Print Resource, US Letter, 1 page. Members can view and print it.

Use this resource when a patient, family, or colleague asks:

Why do imaging findings not always match pain levels?
When are imaging scans actually necessary for musculoskeletal pain?
When should conservative treatment be tried before ordering imaging?
