In our clinic, X-rays are typically taken prior to treatment. This is to rule out trauma or pathology and to show the position of your spine in relation to the optimal placement. These images then provide specific treatment locations.
Throughout care, we may also take additional x-rays, as part of the corrective care process, to show how your spine has adapted. The approach of taking x-rays during care differs from most other chiropractors, since other offices may not focus on normalizing the spine's position or follow up with post x-rays to show improvement.
