About Chiropractic :- X-Rays
Based on the nature of your condition as well as a number of other factors, x-ray studies of your spine or injured body part may be required. All chiropractors in Australia receive over 300 hours of x-ray studies at university prior to graduating and thus are fully trained to take x-Ray images and identify subtle abnormalities of the spine as well as more serious pathologies.
At Glen Iris Chiropractic, Andrew the principal chiropractor, also has a degree in Medical Radiography, which enables him to read and diagnose x-rays himself.
Rather than lying down, we want X-ray views showing your body in a weight-bearing position.

X-rays are a relatively safe and cost effective way to view the structure and general condition of the spine. They can reveal spinal regions under high stress and expose areas of degenerative change. They often provide essential additional information which correlate with the history and examination findings. This allows for a more accurate spinal analysis and diagnosis of your complaint, and a more individualized and effective treatment plan. X-rays are also useful in assessing the appropriateness of chiropractic care as they can help to rule out the existence of more serious problems such as spinal fractures, tumors and infections, which require immediate emergency medical intervention.
