X-rays

X-rays and other types of imaging provide valuable information for both you and your doctor.

X-rays are a form of energy related to radio waves and sunshine. The shadow cast onto special film reveals internal structures of the body. These pictures can reveal fractures, bone diseases and joint degeneration. The can later serve as documentation of your progress.

Special care is taken to reduce X-ray exposure. This is done by using ultra-sensitive films and shielding sensitive body parts. It is beneficial to have an exact visual record of your spine in a weight-bearing position.

Other forms of imaging are helpful, too. MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging) uses radio waves and strong magnets to create pictures. The CAT Scan (Computer Aided Tomography) is a form of three-dimensional X-ray. These can provide more information about the health of both bone and soft tissues.

Chiropractic patients are shown these images at the report of findings. X-rays and other types of imaging provide information for both you and your doctor.

Only necessary views are taken

Latest up-to-date equipment is used

Regular government inspections

Highly accurate electronic timing
