Why Spinal X-Rays Matter in Chiropractic Care
Chiropractic radiology is a specialized aspect of chiropractic care.
When you visit Logan Chiropractic Ann Arbor, a spinal X-ray may be recommended as part of your initial examination. X-ray imaging allows our chiropractor to see the precise alignment of each vertebra, identify disc narrowing, measure curvature changes such as scoliosis or kyphosis, and detect any bony abnormalities that could affect your treatment plan. X-rays are particularly useful for patients experiencing chronic lower back pain, neck pain, leg pain, arm numbness, or leg numbness, as these symptoms often have a clear structural cause visible on imaging. By having an accurate picture of your spine, we can deliver more targeted adjustments and track your progress over time. Chiropractic radiology uses significantly lower radiation than standard medical imaging and is considered safe for most patients. Our doctor will advise you whether X-ray imaging is appropriate for your specific case.
It takes special training and certification to practice chiropractic radiology, including postgraduate seminars. We are committed to our ongoing education and continue to further our expertise in this speciality.
