Chiropractors and x-rays

[Peter Howard]

Any DCs in here, do you use spinal x-rays or not?

Some chiropractors rely on spinal x-rays for diagnosis and treatment planning, while others avoid them unless absolutely necessary. I am also interested in knowing whether DCs regularly, selectively, or never use x-rays, and if so, why?

 

[Peter Howard]

Besides the cost of equipment, using x-ray only has pros after the initial price tag. At least in my opinion. I want to know Chiro take tho because I am only a dealer and not a practitioner.

That’s a fair point; once the machine’s paid off, it can really add value. It’d be great to hear how practitioners themselves balance that. Sometimes what’s “worth it” financially doesn’t always match what’s “worth it” diagnostically.
