Radiographic images are vital to a chiropractor’s knowledge to accurately diagnose and safely treat a patient. A vast number of serious medical conditions can only been seen with an x-ray. The more the doctor knows about a condition, the better he will be able to asses and treat the area. X-rays are used to diagnose the patient, examine spinal curvatures, check for injuries, rule out fractures, check spinal stability and identification of scoliosis.
