Why X-rays are so important

Have you seen a Chiropractor that didn't take X-rays?

X-rays can be critical in providing an accurate diagnosis and guiding the course of treatment required. Although not every patient requires X-rays they can give the Chiropractor a greater understanding of your problem and may allow the Chiropractor to better treat your condition. At Adjusting to Health, X-rays will be taken when clinically indicated and Bulk Billed.

A common X-ray Myth:

You thought X-rays expose you to radiation, right?


You'd be correct, however what is a common misconception is the amount of radiation you are exposed to. With modern X-ray imaging the radiation exposure is very small. In fact the radiation exposure is about the same as 10 days of natural background radiation to which we are exposed to everyday.


If you have any questions about X-rays don't hesitate to get in touch with us.
