RADIOLOGY SERVICES
Chiropractors are trained in plain film radiography and interpretation of advanced imaging. Chiropractors are free to order advanced studies such as CT, MRI, or Ultrasound and any other diagnostic imaging. Your chiropractor may order an X-ray to aid in finding the cause and diagnosis of your condition. An X-ray captures an image of the body by moving a large camera connected to a steel arm over the body. The technician will most likely ask you to stand, sit, and or lie in several positions during the test to get different views of the affected area. The image is captured using film or sensors held in the machine. At Frontier Chiropractic we search for the cause and plan treatment to resolve and improve your condition. Our radiology services will let us know what is going on underneath and we can better tailor your treatments to your needs and recommend other treatments that you would benefit from.
