Do you suffer from back pain?  Have you tried a variety of treatments without success?

If so, it is possible that you have a condition relating to Modic changes in your vertebrae.  The pain this causes cannot be successfully treated using traditional therapies.

Approximately 6% of the population suffer from back pain caused by Modic changes.  As this specific back pain condition can’t be detected via spinal X-rays, many cases remain undiagnosed.  However it only takes an MRI scan to identify the presence of Modic changes in your spine.

Suffering pain in the areas highlighted in the diagram above, along with pain that possibly radiates into one or both legs can indicate the presence of Modic changes within your vertebrae.

Modic changes are pathological changes to the structure and function of the vertebrae.  They include micro-fractures and fibrous growth within the spinal tissue. These occur predominantly in the lower back and the neck.
