X-Rays

X-rays are ordered because sometimes pain may be due to a hidden, underlying cause. They enable the doctor to actually see the bones, note any malformations or to see pathology. They are a valuble tool, which helps the chiropractor make appropriate choices (such as which technique to use).

The correct diagnosis is half the cure. X-rays are ordered so that the chiropractic physician can make the most accurate diagnosis possible. An accurate diagnosis enables the doctor to prescribe the most appropriate treatment plan, so that the patient can get well.

To see is to know. To not see is to guess. And doctors should not guess with your health. Make sure that you get a complete set of x-rays before you begin your care.
