Do chiropractors typically take x-rays?
Yes, it is a common practice. Knowledge is power, guessing is assumption. We not only rule out pre-exsisting problems and pathology but we look at posture and spinal alignment on the x-ray. READ MORE
I had back surgery. Should I see a chiropractor or avoid it?
Seeing a Chiropractor after back surgery can be helpful if the surgery has been at least 6 months ago. It also depends on what type of back surgery the person had done. A chiropractor is well trained to know what to do and more importantly what NOT to do. If you have had back surgery, I am assuming you already have a chiropractor and their treatments failed. Surgery is ALWAYS a last resort. Return to him with any imaging or surgery medical notes so he can be familiar with your case. Good Luck! READ MORE
