Useful Information for the Right Patient
An X-ray is one part of an evaluation. The decision to use imaging should be based on your history, symptoms, examination, and the clinical question that needs an answer.
Confirm the Need
The provider reviews why imaging may be useful and whether another approach could answer the same question.
Capture the Images
The appropriate body area is positioned and a limited set of digital images is taken.
Review the Findings
Your provider explains how the images relate to your symptoms and what they mean for the next step in care.
Clear Images, Efficient Review

Common Questions About In-Office Imaging
Does every chiropractic patient need X-rays?
No. X-rays should be used only when they are clinically appropriate and can help answer a question that matters to your evaluation or care.
Do digital X-rays use radiation?
Yes. Radiography uses ionizing radiation. A medically appropriate exam generally offers more benefit than risk, and the team should use the lowest exposure reasonably necessary for a useful image.
What should I tell the team before an X-ray?
Share relevant medical history, previous imaging, and whether you are pregnant or think you may be pregnant. Ask any questions you have about why the exam is recommended.
