Why We Don’t Rely on X-Rays for Every New Patient at Lake Effect Chiropractic.
At Lake Effect Chiropractic, we understand that you may have questions about whether we take X-rays for every new patient. We would like to explain our approach when you visit our Bay City office.
We believe in treating you, not just a static image. When you come in, we focus on you as a moving, dynamic person. Our goal is to assess your whole body, its movement, and how your pain or discomfort shows up. A 2D X-ray image can only provide limited information about a complex, 3D human body, which is why we don’t automatically turn to X-rays.
Instead, we conduct a thorough exam and gather your medical history to see the full picture. If you’ve had a traumatic injury, or if we determine that further imaging is necessary, we’ll certainly refer you for an x-ray. But often, the best way to understand what’s going on is by looking at your body as it moves in real-time, allowing us to develop the most effective care plan for you.
Wondering if you need an x-ray before we can help? No need to guess—just give us a call at 989-686-6808, and we’ll be happy to discuss what’s right for your unique situation.
We’re here to help you feel better, and we look forward to seeing you soon!
