Road To Recovery

1
PROPER DIAGNOSIS

Everything we do at the DISC Spine Institute is done with one goal in mind: To get you back to enjoying a life you deserve as fast as possible.

During your exam at DISC, we’ll collect your registration forms and medical history. At this time, you’ll also meet with a member of the medical team to discuss your pain and/or other symptoms.

Dr. Valente will determine if additional tests, such as special spine x-rays called flexion and extension views to see if your spine is unstable, as well as, X-rays or MRIs.
