Digital X-Rays
If you have lingering, unidentified pain in your back, shoulders, or spinal region, it can be difficult to receive treatment. At Premier Chiropractic & Wellness, we offer digital x-rays near you alongside chiropractic procedures to identify the source of your discomfort and alleviate its effects. Our goal is to improve your health and help you once again enjoy the activities you love.
Why Are Digital X-Rays Important?
Not every chiropractor takes digital x-rays, but Premier Chiropractic & Wellness strives to offer some of the most technologically advanced treatment around. By taking x-rays, our specialists are able to give you higher quality treatment and also rule out some potential causes of pain.
For example, sometimes, a specialist will require an x-ray of your back and spine to better understand any complications like twisted nerves or chipped vertebrae. The x-ray can also show more dangerous problems like a tumor that requires medical treatment.
When Are They Taken?
Not every patient will need x-rays to receive treatment. If you are seeking a minor chiropractic adjustment and have seen a physician recently, you will most likely be able to skip this step. However, to create a better practice, we will take digital x-rays in the following scenarios:
- You possess a suspected spinal instability
- You are over 65 years of age
- You might have a joint disease such as arthritis
- You have long-standing pain which has not been resolved
- We are concerned there might be an internal infection
- You are over 50 and have experienced any type of physical trauma
- You have sustained a traumatic physical injury at any age
It is important to take the x-rays in these situations as your chances increase for having underlying internal damage, which is invisible to the naked eye.
