X-Rays

After a thorough consultation and examination the Chiropractor will use his clinical expertise to determine the need for X-rays in your specific case.

X-ray results are also used to determine the most effective adjustment technique to be used, using the Chiropractor’s expertise, as well as tailoring the appropriate exercises though our state of the art software app.

Common reasons for Chiropractors to use x-ray include, but not limited to:

• Assessment of, but not limited to:
  • Spinal curvatures
  • Disc spaces
  • Bone density
  • Degenerative changes
  • Congenital anomalies
