You have bad back pain how do you request an mri?
A doctor will order an MRI if they suspect compression of you nerves/spinal cord. Speaking from experience, usually they will send you home to rest a couple days, then try "conservative treatment" which are minor stretching exercises, anti-inflamatories, etc. Then if the problem continues they order the MRI and refer you to a neurosurgeon if the MRI show positive for disk degeneration or nerve impairment. Bottom line is unless you have obvious neurological symptoms they won't order the MRI until you've come back 2 or 3 times and are not improving.
