Digital X-Ray

Why Digital X-Ray?

When you're dealing with pain or an injury, getting answers quickly matters. Our on-site digital X-ray technology allows us to see exactly what's happening with your spine and joints—often during your first visit. No referrals to outside imaging centers, no waiting days for results, no extra trips across town.

Digital X-rays give our doctors the detailed images they need to accurately diagnose your condition and create a treatment plan tailored specifically to you. Whether we're looking for spinal misalignments, joint degeneration, fractures, or other structural issues, X-rays help us see the full picture.

Benefits of Digital X-Ray

Digital X-ray technology offers several advantages over traditional film X-rays:

• Immediate results — Images are available within seconds, so we can review them with you during your visit
• Lower radiation exposure — Digital X-rays use up to 80% less radiation than traditional film X-rays
• Enhanced image quality — Digital images can be enlarged, adjusted, and enhanced for better diagnostic accuracy
• Convenient — Everything happens in one location, saving you time and hassle
• Easy to share — Digital images can be easily shared with other healthcare providers if needed
• Environmentally friendly — No chemical processing or film waste

When Are X-Rays Needed?

Not every patient needs X-rays, and we only take them when clinically necessary. Your doctor may recommend X-rays if:

• You've experienced trauma or injury (car accident, fall, sports injury)
• You have chronic or recurring pain that hasn't responded to treatment
• There's a suspicion of fracture, dislocation, or structural abnormality
• We need to evaluate spinal degeneration or arthritis
• We want to assess your spinal alignment before beginning treatment
• We need to monitor your progress over time

We'll always discuss with you why we're recommending X-rays and answer any questions you have before proceeding.

What to Expect

Getting a digital X-ray is quick, easy, and painless:

• Preparation — You may be asked to remove jewelry or metal objects from the area being imaged
• Positioning — We'll position you for the best image quality, which may involve standing or lying down
• Imaging — The X-ray takes just a few seconds per image
• Review — Your doctor will review the images with you and explain what they show

The entire process typically takes just 10-15 minutes, and you'll have answers the same day.
