The Importance of X-Rays in Chiropractic Care
At Ipswich Spine Clinic, we never make assumptions about your health. Spinal X-rays can reveal important findings such as arthritis or other spinal conditions that may otherwise go unnoticed. Acting as a detailed blueprint of your spine, X-rays highlight any abnormal alignment and help us to understand how your spine deviates from its normal position. This enables us to make a more accurate diagnosis and to recommend the most appropriate treatment for you. It is important to note, however, that X-rays are not always required. They are only taken when clinically indicated, in full compliance with IR(ME) regulations.
Understanding Spinal Decay (Subluxation Degeneration)
Spinal decay is similar in many ways to tooth decay, often developing as a result of neglect. It can affect individuals of any age. While it is more commonly observed in older people, it should not be mistaken as a normal part of ageing. Instead, spinal decay is a degenerative condition caused by uncorrected spinal misalignments (subluxations). This process occurs as the body adapts to the ongoing stress of gravity. Unfortunately, spinal decay is common because spinal problems are frequently ignored for many years.
