Most chiropractors will perform x-rays during your initial exam. Most chiropractors won't begin treatment until they've made a diagnosis with the help of an x-ray.
A proper diagnosis will point out exactly what needs to be treated.
For example, if you have a headache, you shouldn't begin any treatment until your chiropractor has given you an official diagnosis.
The diagnosis tells you what's wrong, what's causing it, and what treatments need to be done to fix it.
X-rays are very common in chiropractic care.
Your X-ray will provide your chiropractor with critical information that can help shape the type of treatment they provide.
