X-Rays

X-ray of spine Why x-rays? We find x-rays to be quite helpful because they:

  • Provide a structural record of your spine
  • Rule out cancer, disease or other pathologies
  • Locate fractures or other signs of trauma
  • Identify evidence of long term spinal decay
  • Confirm other examination findings


Interestingly, X-rays were discovered soon after the first chiropractic adjustment in 1895. Wilhelm Roentgen, a German physics professor, was experimenting with cathode ray tubes and discovered that an object across the room began to glow. Much to his surprise, when he placed his hand between the tube and the glowing barium screen, he was able to see the bones of his hand.

From those crude beginnings, both chiropractic and x-ray imaging have come a long way. Today, chiropractors are leaders in the reduction of x-ray exposure and patient safety.
