What Is Spondylosis?
9. Diagnosis
Your doctor will likely need to perform a brief physical exam, and they will also need to ask you about your symptoms. They will also likely need to know about your medical history. If they do suspect spondylosis then they will need to request tests to confirm what is causing your symptoms.
Tests for spondylosis will often include tests that help to measure how well your nerves are functioning. Imaging tests may also be requested to help experts see what is happening with the spine visually. These will sometimes include injecting a specialized dye that will help certain structures to show more clearly on the images.
