X-RAY SERVES AS A VALUABLE DIAGNOSTIC TOOL TO HELP CHIROPRACTORS UNDERSTAND THE INTEGRITY (ALIGNMENT AND STRUCTURE) OF A PATIENT'S SPINE. THE X-RAY CAN CONVEY IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT COMMON SPINAL DISEASE PROCESSES, SUCH AS THE PRESENCE OF ARTHRITIS OR DEGENERATIVE DISC DISEASE, ALLOWING FOR THE APPROPRIATE TREATMENT INTERVENTION TO HELP REACH THE MOST POSITIVE OUTCOMES.
In order to fully grasp the condition of a given patient’s musculoskeletal health, an X-ray may be used to gain additional insight after the initial examination. By looking at the spine and joints from different angles, there may be a discovery that wouldn't have been noted during a patient consultation and/or examination.
X-rays are a relatively safe and cost effective way to view the structure and general condition of the spine. Our chiropractors will be happy to discuss concerns regarding X-Ray safety prior to conducting any X-ray procedure.
