Screening just show basic structures, if disc herniation is paracentral or if any nerve root compression is there than it will not visualize and again other structures like facet joints are not visualize in screening.
Next Steps
so if you have any problem related to your back consult your doctor or get full LS Spine scan done. in small cities it can be get done inside 4000
