At Total Health and Rehab, our staff wants patients to know that when Dr. Michael Minett, DC determines the need for an X-ray, it is always for your safety, benefit, and diagnosis. X-rays are often completed to give the doctor an inside look as to what is going on with the bone structure of the entire spine and surrounding skeletal structure. An X-ray allows Dr. Minett to view your current spine angles and develop a more individualized treatment plan.
Many patients do not require X-rays, however, as a general guideline X-rays are recommended if the patient has sustained a significant traumatic injury, as a bone may be broken or a joint may be dislocated. They may also be suggested when an infection is causing the patient’s pain and/or if any significant joint disease is suspected (arthritis). Because X-rays expose patients to radiation, unless there is a valid reason to have one, we only recommended them as needed.
If you think you may benefit from chiropractic care, please give us a call. To learn about the services we provide at our office, visit www.totalhealthandrehab.com for more information.
