Are X-rays Always Necessary For Seeing A Chiropractor?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

In short, No but of course there can be times when x-rays become a necessity.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Obviously this all comes down to how the patient first presents and what exactly their overall goals<\/a> are with visiting a chiropractor<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In this blog we will run through reasoning behind getting an x-ray and what they are good for!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When Should X-rays Be Done?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

– When there is numbness down a limb<\/p>\n\n\n\n

– Sudden changes to posture with severe pain<\/p>\n\n\n\n

– Pins and Needles<\/p>\n\n\n\n

– Numbness of a body part<\/p>\n\n\n\n

– Inability to put pressure through a joint<\/p>\n\n\n\n

– Genetic health concerns <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Why Xrays?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

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!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Should you need an X-ray our team<\/a> 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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
