Why Chiropractic X-Rays
Nearly
everyone follows a routine practice of common sense preventive
health care. THIS IS GOOD! Unfortunately, the importance of a
thorough chiropractic X-ray examination is overlooked by many.
A
chiropractor may recommend an X-ray in the diagnosis for pathological
and analytical reasons.
Pathological
reasons are simply reasons that your Doctor feels the X-ray is
necessary to be certain there are no complications in your case
which might prevent or delay your recovery. The X-ray is the best
way to look inside and determine the exact condition of the many
parts of the body and answer questions that occur in every case:
are there fractures, soft tissue or bone diseases, malformations,
dislocations, etc.?
Analytical
reasons are that your Doctor feels, once it is established that
nothing is present which would prevent you from obtaining the
results you seek, that there is one more question to answer: What
is the underlying cause of your condition and is it correctable;
and what needs to be done to correct it?
X-rays
of the spine are used to help your chiropractor analyze the positions
of the bones of the spine to locate misalignments. Chiropractic
adjustments can accurately affect the spine, thereby removing
nerve pressures or irritations. As a result pain can be relieved,
and normal health restored without drugs or surgery.
