Why Do Chiropractors Take X-rays?

When you think about x-rays, you probably think about broken bones. However, the medical use and purpose of x-rays stretch beyond the ability to just identify injuries. Today, x-rays are used by a variety of medical professionals to investigate a wide range of potential issues, such as: 

  • Bone dislocations and loss

  • Infections 

  • Calcifications  

  • Arthritis 

  • Tumors 

  • Digestive issues 

  • Heart issues  

Due to the nature of chiropractic care, and the lack of inward visibility surrounding a patient’s bone and joint structure, x-rays have become a popular choice for chiropractors to better identify skeletal system issues. In doing so, chiropractors can better diagnose and treat patients moving forward. Some common issues that can be confirmed with the use of x-rays include: 

  • Spondyloarthritis 

  • Kyphosis 

  • Scoliosis 

  • Minor/major spinal trauma  

  • Shoulder and Pelvic Malalignment

  • Forward Head Posture

  • Prior Spinal Fractures

  • Degenerative Joint/Disc Disease
