What X-Ray Is Needed After a Spine Injury?

For low back pain after a spine injury, it is common to perform lumbar or lumbosacral spine X-rays. However, it is crucial to also include thoracolumbar X-rays, as the thoracolumbar junction is often the site of fractures, similar to how a bent stick typically breaks in the middle. This ensures accurate diagnosis, even if the pain is localized to the lower back.
