Are Chiropractic X-Rays Safe?
When your chiropractor suggests X-rays, it's important to have a conversation about the benefits and risks involved. Ask about the specific X-ray machine being used and the level of radiation exposure. Here are a few additional points to consider regarding X-ray services in chiropractic offices:
- X-rays involve low-dose radiation, but there is still some risk associated.
- Unless absolutely necessary, pregnant women should avoid getting X-rays.
- Children should have X-rays only when the benefits outweigh the risks.
