Digital X-Rays
X-rays are a relatively safe and cost effective way to view the structure and general condition of the spine. They can reveal spinal regions under high stress and expose areas of degenerative change. This can often provide essential additional information which correlates history and examination findings allowing for a more accurate spinal analysis and a more individualized and effective treatment plan.
X-rays are also useful in assessing the appropriateness of chiropractic care as they can help to rule out the existence of more serious pathological processes such as spinal fractures, tumors and infections which require immediate emergency medical intervention.
X-rays or radiographs are not always necessary. Your Chiropractor will decide if your specific case warrants their use. If your Chiropractor decides x-rays are appropriate, it is important for you to know that several safety precautions are utilized to make today's x-rays extremely safe.
If taken, your Chiropractor will typically review your x-rays during your report of findings. Your x-rays will become a very valuable part of your health records.
