To See Is To Know

Our office provides on site x-ray imaging to help us make a more specific diagnosis of your condition and to monitor your progress as your spinal health improves. X-rays allow us to see exactly what is going on with the bones of your spine and can give us clues to other areas of your health that may need improvement.

We take x-rays because to see inside is to know exactly how the structure is affecting your function. You wouldn't buy a home that you had only seen from the driveway would you? Of course not! You would want to go inside and make sure that the walls were sound and the foundation didn't leak, in other words that the house had “good bones“.

As doctors evaluating your x-rays we are responsible for finding and reporting on all of the information contained within your films. In addition to ensuring that there are no pathologies or serious conditions that require immediate referral, here are a few things that we look for when we examine your x-ray films:

• Proper Spinal Alignment
• Arthritis or Degeneration
• Scoliosis
• Bone Quality
