X-Ray Diagnosis

When deemed appropriate and/or necessary for your circumstances, x-rays can play a vital role in your chiropractic care. A digital x-ray allows us to look at your bones and joints with a large degree of clarity, and the related soft tissues to some degree.

In the case where it’s determined that your atlas is likely misaligned then the first step of the x-ray diagnosis is to determine the degree in which the atlas is misaligned.

Very precise x-rays are taken which show Dr. Wetherington exactly how the atlas is displaced. The x-rays taken are invaluable in making the most precise atlas correction, which is as unique to the patient as their own fingerprint. Following the diagnosis, a specific treatment protocol is developed to align the atlas into the correct neutral/orthogonal position.

We have a state-of-the-art digital x-ray machine in both our Savannah and Pooler locations.
