Lower Spine X-ray, Bending Views

Vermont rates for HCPCS 72120

X-ray images of the lower back are taken while the patient bends forward and backward, showing how the vertebrae move in relation to each other. This helps a provider check for excess or abnormal motion between spinal bones, which can be a sign of instability. It focuses specifically on movement rather than a general structural view of the spine.
