X-Rays and Other Diagnostic Studies
		Our office utilizes referrals for the following diagnostic studies for any condition which has been chronic with no improvement under other healthcare practioners: X-Rays; Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI); CAT Scan (Computerized Axial Tomography); Ultrasound; Colonoscopy; Blood Tests or any other necessary medical work-up. We pride ourselves on referrals and second opinions when necessary. X-rays are routinely used on serious or chronic injuries. X-rays are performed at either Cottage Hospital or Community Hospital and read by their radiologists and then interpreted by the Doctor for conditions which are structural rather than pathological. Based on the nature of your condition as well as a number of other factors, x-ray studies of your spine or injured body part may be indicated. Doctors of chiropractic receive over 300 hours of x-ray studies in college prior to graduating and thus are fully trained to take radiographs and identify subtle abnormalities of the spine as well as more serious pathologies. X-Rays Are Safe and Provide Valuable Information X-rays are a relatively safe and cost effective way to view the structure and general condition of the spine. They can reveal spinal regions under high stress and expose areas of degenerative change. This can often provide essential additional information which correlates history and examination findings allowing for a more accurate spinal analysis and a more individualized and effective treatment plan. X-rays are also useful in assessing the appropriateness of chiropractic care as they can help to rule out the existence of more serious pathological processes such as spinal fractures, tumors and infections which require immediate emergency medical intervention.
