A spinal tap, or lumbar puncture, is performed for several reasons, including diagnosing conditions such as meningitis, multiple sclerosis, and certain cancers. It can also be used to measure cerebrospinal fluid pressure or to deliver medications directly into the spinal canal. Additionally, it may help to analyze infections or inflammatory diseases affecting the central nervous system.
