X-Ray

At Elswick Chiropractic & Associates, PSC we have a fully equiped x-ray facility on site. This includes both traditional x-ray and a more advanced motion x-ray system. X-rays of the spine are used to rule out the possible presence of pathology. Next, the x-ray is used to study the shape and position of each bone in the area of concern. This approach allows the treating doctor to use the x-ray as a blueprint of the spine. This approach affords the treating doctor the ability to study the form and function of the area in question. With this information, the treating doctor is then able to suggest the most appropriate treatment options for the prospective patient's specific condition.

In addition, we are able to study the motion of the spine with a more advanced form of x-ray called videofloroscopy, or VF. VF allows the treating doctor to study the specfic movement patterns of the spine. This technique affords the treating doctor the ability to study how the spine is functioning.

Also, in those instances where traditional x-ray is not sufficient in evaluating the patient's condition, Elswick Chiropractic & Associates, PSC has established a solid working relationship with several area diagnostic centers where advanced imaging can be undertaken. Some conditions may require MRI or CAT scans to further evaluate the area of concern. In those circumstances, we are able to order the appropriate study and get our patients the necessary imaging in a fast and effective manner.
