X-rays provide a clear picture of the spine, allowing chiropractors to pinpoint issues like vertebral misalignments or other structural abnormalities.
Before administering specific treatments, it's crucial to understand the structural health of the spine. X-rays ensure that treatments are safe and suitable for the patient.
Over time, X-rays can help monitor the effectiveness of treatments, showcasing improvements in spinal alignment and overall bone health.
Identifying potential issues before they become problematic can lead to early interventions, preventing further complications.
Chiropractic X-rays are focused specifically on the spine and musculoskeletal system, giving detailed images that can be crucial for treatment decisions.
X-rays can help in distinguishing between muscle and bone issues, providing clarity for targeted treatments.
Early chiropractors adopted X-ray technology soon after its invention, recognizing its potential to enhance patient care.
Modern X-ray machines emit minimal radiation, making them safe for most patients. However, we always take necessary precautions, especially with pregnant women and certain high-risk groups.
The frequency of X-rays depends on your specific condition, treatment plan, and progress. Your chiropractor will discuss and determine the need for follow-up X-rays.
It’s best to wear loose, comfortable clothing. You might be asked to remove jewelry, eyeglasses, or other metal objects that could interfere with the image.
Your health is our priority, and with the insights gained from X-rays, we aim to provide the best possible chiropractic care tailored to your needs.
