It is important to realize that diagnosis will probably not directly reveal the cause of back or neck pain. Learn about how doctors diagnose back pain, and about the role of technology in the process.

It is very difficult to diagnose some chronic back pain patients. Even if the MRI is positive it does not necessarily meant that the herniated disc or stenosis is causing the pain. I feel we need to do more than just address the mechanical issues. There is great progress being made in the field Mind-Body Medicine. There is also great evidence that is linking inflammation from a diet rich in animal foods as a primary cause of back pain. Everything should be considered.
Excellent comment. Thank you!
