Why X-rays are Critical to Chiropractic Care | Gonstead Chiropractor in West Omaha, NE
Hello, I’m Dr. Joel Marley with Family First Chiropractic. Today, I’m here to discuss the importance of X-rays or spinal radiographs in the Gonstead chiropractic system.
Role of X-rays
X-rays are essential for understanding the full biomechanical structure of the patient. They allow the doctor to make specific measurements and analyze the spinal alignment. Lateral (side) X-rays help determine the spine’s curvature and alignment from the side, while Anterior-Posterior (A-P) X-rays provide views from the front, helping to assess overall spinal symmetry.
Importance of a Solid Foundation
In the Gonstead chiropractic system, a solid foundation starts with the hips and pelvis. Accurate measurements and line drawing analysis from X-rays are crucial for identifying misalignments and ensuring that adjustments are tailored for the best results.
Benefits
By using X-rays, we can achieve a comprehensive understanding of the patient’s biomechanical structure. This enables us to provide the most effective adjustments, promoting optimal health, function, and overall well-being.
