Are X-rays Necessary?

At Schonhard Chiropractic, we understand the concern about whether X-rays are needed before receiving a chiropractic adjustment. The short answer is: that x-rays are only necessary when they help us gain a clearer understanding of your condition. We don’t take X-rays routinely but use them selectively to confirm a diagnosis or rule out the need for a referral to another specialist.

Diagnostic X-rays can reveal important details about your spinal health, helping us identify the root cause of your pain or discomfort. By pinpointing the exact issue, we can create a more focused treatment plan that may lead to a quicker recovery with fewer visits.

In formal practice since 1993, both Dr. Ann and Dr. Eric are well-equipped to determine if X-rays are needed to improve your care and ensure the best outcome for your health.
