Get an X-Ray of Your Spine
Call Us at (813) 574-9206 to Schedule an Appointment
When first seeking Chiropractic treatment it is important for the Chiropractic doctor to take X-rays of your spine. Some chiropractors do not have imaging equipment in their office, at Epic Chiropractic we have an X-ray machine in house so you don’t have to go to an imaging facility to do so. The X-ray comes free of charge with the initial consultation.
What Are X-Rays?
An X-ray is a certain type of electromagnetic radiation that is able to capture through an image through the person’s skin. The picture shows different parts of your body in white or black. The bones turn white because the calcium in your bones absorbs the radiation the most.
What Is the Procedure for Taking an X-Ray?
Dr. Wilson will ask you to change into a gown that is provided by the Epic Chiropractic office. Then the patient will put on a lead apron to protect your body from some radiation. There is no need to worry about the effects of the radiation. The radiation you are exposed to is similar to you being naturally exposed from the environment for 10 days. The chiropractor will take X-rays of your standing sideways, backwards, and forwards. This will give the chiropractor different images in order for the doctor to evaluate your spine. While taking the images, the patient has to stand as still as possible for the image to be clear.
What Happens After An X-ray is Taken?
X-rays will be processed during your chiropractic visit, whether you’re at our Brandon clinic or the Big Bend clinic. After the X-rays are finished processing, Dr. Matt Wilson will take you into the consultation room and review the scans with you.
As a chiropractor specializing in auto injury cases, Dr. Wilson has extensive diagnostic experience and can accurately identify the problem areas in your spine. During this corrective care consultation, Dr. Wilson will tell you how he is going to treat your auto accident injuries and he’ll show you how to keep your spine healthy for the long run.
Diagnostic imaging taken during your initial consultation is essential. Patients usually do not realize the issues they have in their spine and this gives them a better idea visually.
After the consultation is finished, Dr.Wilson will develop a specialized treatment plan for you. No matter what injuries you have sustained from your car accident, it is highly recommended that you work with a skilled chiropractor like Dr. Wilson.
Following Your Chiropractic Treatment Plan
After a few weeks of corrective chiropractic care, the patients may start to feel relief of their symptoms they might be experiencing. If the back pain or neck pain has subsided the chiropractic treatment is working and continued care is recommended. If the back pain or neck pain has reduced but the doctor needs better imaging quality Dr. Wilson may recommend you to go get an MRI.
