If he says it's just flex/ext xrays, that's very common and no big deal. Does he not have xray capability in his office?
You'll just take few plain xrays... flex forward... bend at the waist as if you are trying to touch your toes. Arch backwards... If these things hurt, then they'll hurt when you are taking the xrays, but they'll show the alignment of the vertebral bodies as you move around.
There is some controversy starting about the usefulness of these studies, but all the docs I know rely on they and I've seen them being determinative.
