What tests do healthcare providers use to diagnose central cord syndrome?

Healthcare providers use imaging tests to diagnose CCS, including:

• CT scan.
• Electromyogram.
• MRI.
• X-ray.

Healthcare providers may also use flexion and extension tests to see if — or how — you can move. During these tests, you move your chin down (flexion) and up (extension).
