Chiropractor X-Ray Training
Depending on the nature of your conditions, our doctors may order an X-ray to be taken. Doctors of Chiropractic (DC) receive over 300 hours of X-ray training prior to graduating and thus are fully-trained to identify subtle abnormalities of the spine, as well as more serious pathologies.
Safe and Valuable
X-rays are safe, can reveal spinal regions under high stress, expose areas of degenerative change and can allow our doctors to view the structure and general condition of the spine. This information allows for a more accurate spinal analysis and a more individualized and effective treatment plan. X-rays are also useful to rule out the existence of more serious pathological processes such as spinal fractures, tumors and infections.
