Are X-Rays Really Necessary?

 

Have you ever been to a Chiropractor who never took x-rays? How did he know what he was adjusting?  Are x-rays necessary?  A chiropractor can get an idea of the condition of your spine through looking at your posture, or feeling you spine, but outside of x-ray vision, the only way to be absolutely sure what you spine looks like, and how to adjust you, is by taking pictures of your spine –  x-rays.

 

After taking your x-rays, your chiropractor will then compare them to ideal “normal” spinal x-rays, and formulate a specific adjustment for your spine.

 

A “normal”spine is one that is straight and perpendicular to the floor from the front, and has 3 specific curves from the sides.

 

When the spine deviates from that “normal” healthy position, it is called a subluxation.  That abnormal stress on the spine causes the bones and the discs to decay up to 10x faster!

 

It also causes stretching, twisting, compression, and/or pinching of the fragile spinal cord, brain stem, and spinal nerves!  This nerve damage decreases nerve flow from the brain to the body and can cause sickness and disease in the body.

 

Would you allow your dentist to drill your teach without an x-ray?  And those are just your teeth! In this office we do not guess when it comes to your spinal health!
