Why
do chiropractors take x-rays?
Chiropractors take x-rays to reveal
the internal structure and alignment of the spine. We are
also concerned about underlying disease processes and disorders
of the spine such as spinal deterioration, arthritis of
the spine, abnormal development, bone spurs, disc disorders,
tumors and spinal curvature. X-rays also provide a blueprint
for correcting the spine back to optimal health and alignment.

We
take only the most necessary views
• Use the most up to date equipment
• Intensification screens reduce energy used
• Filtration removes unneeded frequencies
• Collimation narrows the energy beam
• Sensitive films shorten exposure time
• Shielding protects sensitive body parts
• Regular equipment inspection and licensing |
