At Louisville Health Solutions, we do not guess about your health. Spinal x-rays may identify important findings such as spinal arthritis or other spinal disorders, which many people may not even be aware are developing. X-rays therefore act as a blueprint of your spine and will reveal any abnormal spinal alignment. X-rays allow us to see how an individual spine deviates from normal alignment so that we can decide on appropriate treatment.

​

We specifically adjust the spine for optimal spinal correction and better full body health. Without an x-ray we would only be guessing at what treatment you require. Please note however, that taking your x-ray may not be deemed necessary for the treatment you require. 

​

Spinal x-rays have a low dose of radiation exposure compared to other diagnostic tools. Radiation dose is measured in a unit called millisievert. In the United States, we are exposed to about 3mSv per year naturally. Spinal bone x-rays expose a patient to 1.5 mSv as compared to a CT scan of the spine which exposes a patient to 6mSv ( http://www.radiologyinfo.org/ ). At Louisville Health Solutions, we take precautions to make sure our patients have as little exposure as possible.

​

We strive for the best possible care overall for every patient that walks into our office! On-site X-ray is available. Current X-rays from another doctor may be used if they are less than a year old. If you have any questions about x-rays and their safety in clinical use, feel free to contact our office and we will be glad to answer any questions you may have.
