Why Are X-Rays Taken in Chiropractic Care?
In chiropractic care, X-rays are taken to gain a clearer picture of your spine's alignment, joint health, and bone structure. By evaluating these areas, we can better understand how misalignments (also known as subluxations), disc degeneration, or structural abnormalities may be affecting your body. X-rays help us determine if your nervous system is being impacted by spinal misalignments, which can lead to pain, reduced mobility, and other health issues.
What Is Looked for in Chiropractic X-Rays?
When we take X-rays, we focus on the following key areas:
- Spinal Misalignments (Subluxations): Detecting misalignments in your spine that could be interfering with nerve function and contributing to pain or other health issues.
- Disc Health: Identifying issues like bulging or herniated discs, which can compress nerves and lead to pain or reduced mobility.
- Degenerative Changes: Looking for signs of arthritis or disc degeneration that may affect the alignment of your spine and lead to discomfort.
- Spinal Curvatures: Checking for abnormal curvatures in the spine, such as scoliosis, which may affect posture and nerve function.
- Joint and Bone Health: Assessing the condition of your joints and bones for any abnormalities or degeneration that might be causing discomfort or restricted movement.
