Digital X-rays

The benefits of having a spinal x-ray in most cases far outweigh the risks associated with x-ray exposure.
— Dr Sarah Burnett, Chiro London's MSK Radiologist

Should I have a spinal X-ray? During a visit to Chiro London your chiropractor has the option to take a set of spinal x-rays. After a thorough consultation and examination they will use their clinical expertise to determine the need for an x-ray in your specific case. If indicated we will have a discussion which always requires your consent before x-rays are taken. We need to answer the following questions; does the benefits outweight the risks, is there appropriate evidence supporting the use of x-rays, is this supported by the chiropractors clinical experience and how will it impact patient management.

External x-ray referral service

Our digital x-ray service is available to other practitioners wanting quick and efficient access to radiology. Only eligible practitioners can refer for x-rays, and these are normally limited to chiropractors, osteopaths, GPs and other medical professionals.
