Are X-rays Always Necessary For Seeing A Chiropractor?
In short, No but of course there can be times when x-rays become a necessity.
Obviously this all comes down to how the patient first presents and what exactly their overall goals are with visiting a chiropractor.
In this blog we will run through reasoning behind getting an x-ray and what they are good for!
When Should X-rays Be Done?
– When there is numbness down a limb
– Sudden changes to posture with severe pain
– Pins and Needles
– Numbness of a body part
– Inability to put pressure through a joint
– Genetic health concerns
Why Xrays?
Xrays are a fantastic way to look at simple joint changes. It is common to see disc bulges, changes to joint structure and abnormalities within areas of concern!
Should you need an X-ray our team of chiropractors are able to write you a referral to see a radiologist to get the images taken. We will then have a follow up appointment where we go through the Xray to justify whether or not damage has occurred within the area of concern.
