| Will I need X-rays? Not necessarily! A lot of people assume that all Chiropractors x-ray all their patients all the time. This couldn't be further from the truth. X-rays are a means of diagnostic evaluation. As with other diagnostic tools, they are necessary in some cases, not necessary in others, and contra-indicated in a few. We have the facilities to take X-rays, if necessary, in our clinic, however, we only take them if they are indicated. We NEVER x-ray a woman we know or suspect to be pregnant! We SELDOM x-ray anyone under the age of 18 years old. We AVOID x-raying nursing women if possible. Although x-rays are deemed safe, excessive exposure can be harmful to the body. For this reason, we impose various restrictions on our use of this form of diagnosis. Since every case is unique, it is best to discuss your concerns about x-rays with the Doctor. |
