FACT:

One out of every 1,700 people who have back surgery will die from this surgery.

3 out of 1,000 suffer a stroke due to general anesthesia.

1.3 out of 75,000,000 will have a serious reaction to a chiropractic adjustment.

THE ODDS ARE IN YOUR FAVOR WITH CHIROPRACTIC!

 

COMMENT:

So do x-rays show us everything we might need to know? NO! X-rays show HARD tissue (bone) only. Sometimes more detailed images are needed to see the discs and/or nerves. For that you need an MRI or CT scan. 

But to get you started on your way to pain relief, X-rays are the diagnostic media of choice and by far the least expensive! 

X-Rays anyone?

 Why Do Chiropractors
Need X-rays?

Pensacola, Florida

       Steve Haas, D.C.

A Pensacola Chiropractor since 1991.

So Why Do You Need Chiropractic X-rays?

Like I said on the "Home page", I had a guy "walk" into my office with neck pain. After taking his history and a "very gentle" exam, I suspected something was very wrong. I had him x-rayed and I was right. He had a broken bone in his neck. The x-rays showed me he had a fracture of the 6th neck bone. 

Naturally he sure didn't need an adjustment, he needed to be in the hospital, fast! I needed the x-ray so could direct him to the hospital where he belonged. 

The x-ray let me know I sure didn't want to be adjusting on his neck! Would you? They helped me diagnose a serious LIFE THREATENING problem.

So you need x-rays! If your a cash patient, I can get you a break on them, so don't worry.

Diagnosis: With all the information from the history, exam and x-rays. I can formulate a diagnosis and  treatment plan designed for your specific needs. If it isn't a chiropractic problem, I will send you to another medical specialists for your condition. Or we can all work together to help speed you on your way to full recovery.

..At Southern Spinal Rehab, there's nothing mysterious about X-rays. Like they say, a picture is worth a thousand words. So I'm going to show you some x-rays of some of my actual patients. You'll see for yourself the importance of "Seeing" what is under your skin! "Read the text in blue"!

   This is a side view of the neck. Notice that the 4th through 7th bones are kinda straight instead of curved. This is considered a vertebral subluxation, a misalignment and a loss of the normal curve.

 

   The above x-ray has some problems, but is a "near" normal lower back shot for this example. Can you tell the difference with the one below?

   This one is a severe case of scoliosis (Abnormal curvature of the spine). Notice the lateral curve, the wedged vertebra and the spurring on the left. OUCH! Do you think you can see this under your skin without an x-ray? You can't!
