Spinal Care of Nevada offers convenient digital X-ray imaging in our Summerlin office when imaging is clinically appropriate.
Not every chiropractic patient needs X-rays. The decision to take X-rays is based on your history, examination findings, age, symptoms, previous injuries and other clinical considerations.
When indicated, digital X-rays can provide additional information about spinal structure, alignment, degeneration, previous injury and other findings that may be relevant to your evaluation and care planning.
Digital imaging allows X-rays to be viewed immediately on a computer screen, making it easier for the doctor to review the images and explain relevant findings to you.
Having digital X-ray equipment in our office also allows us to obtain appropriate images conveniently when they are needed as part of your evaluation.
An X-ray does not tell us everything about a patient’s condition. Your history, physical examination, symptoms and functional findings remain important parts of determining what may be causing your problem and what type of care is appropriate.
If another type of imaging or medical evaluation is more appropriate, we may recommend that you follow up with the appropriate healthcare provider.
If X-rays are recommended, we will explain why we believe the images may be useful before proceeding. We use digital imaging to obtain the views needed for the clinical question being evaluated while avoiding unnecessary imaging.
If you are experiencing neck pain, back pain or another musculoskeletal problem, schedule a consultation at our Summerlin office. We’ll determine whether chiropractic evaluation is appropriate and whether X-rays are needed.
