We have digital x-ray facilities onsite. These use newer technology, digital radiography (DR) x-ray facilities for our patients (as compared to the older technology using cassettes - CR). This is to help us assess and diagnose the underlying causes of your symptoms when needed. For the most part, chiropractors rely on clinical examination, specific tests and palpation skills to diagnose the cause of your symptoms. However, there may be a situation where x-ray is required.
X-ray imaging can be used to investigate areas of the body for reasons including but not limited to:
Trauma injuries – any suspected broken or fractured bones, swelling or dislocations that may need to be confirmed before any treatment can begin.
Degeneration/ inflammatory arthropathy– if your chiropractor suspects you have an inflammatory type of arthritis this can sometimes be confirmed through x-ray imaging.
Infections – any serious infections which could be causing damage can usually be picked up on x-ray
£75 per region (either neck, middle back or lower back)
