To ensure the best quality chiropractic care, X-rays of the low back and neck are taken for every new patient. Yearly X-Rays are recommended for all current patients. In rare cases, the chiropractor might send the patient to an x-ray facility for these films. Depending on the findings, the chiropractor may call for an MRI or other imaging study of the spine.
