X-rays have become a vital part of the chiropractic industry, allowing chiropractic doctors to actually see your spine before recommending treatment. This gives the doctor a more accurate image of your spine and he can rule out other problems before recommending a chiropractic treatment.

Only modern x-ray machines and equipment are used to reduce the patient’s exposure to radiation. These machines require licensing and regular inspections to assure patient safety.

Because of the associated health risks of being exposed to radiation, x-rays are only used when deemed necessary and when they are needed for diagnosing specific problems or for avoiding further injury. Extra precautions are also taken to protect vital areas, using radiation protection and unnecessary x-rays are never performed.
