mmm interesting,

considering that most of the clinical presentations within a 
physiotherapy department can  be successfully diagnosed and treated with 
the mckenzie protocol and that, for instance,unilateral low back pain 
radiating to the buttock and/or thigh is essentially discal in oregon.
......a structure which is essentially radiologically translucent.

The use of x rays could be seen by some as a costly and meaningless waste 
of time.

this is supported by the clinical standards advisory group (CSAG) 
recommendations to GPs for low back pain i.e. that x ray is not indicated 
during the acute phase.

best wishes
