Ever wondered if X-rays are really necessary before a chiropractic adjustment? Or have you been told they’re an optional, skippable step? In this vital episode of The Prime Podcast, Dr. Skip and Dr. Julie Wies tackle the growing misconception around spinal imaging and explain why skipping this step could put your health at risk.
Many people seek chiropractic care for back pain, neck pain, or general wellness, but not all understand the importance of a proper diagnosis. An adjustment without a clear picture of your spinal health is just guesswork. Drs. Skip and Julie reveal what a trained chiropractor can see on an X-ray—from hidden fractures and dangerous pathologies to congenital abnormalities that could make a standard adjustment harmful.
Discover why the X-ray and the chiropractic profession were born in the very same year and how this foundational tool is a non-negotiable "standard of care" for ensuring patient safety, achieving better results, and truly understanding the root cause of your health concerns. Don't let a practitioner gamble with your spine. Learn how to advocate for the highest standard of care.
In this episode, you will learn:
-
Why spinal X-rays are a foundational standard of care in chiropractic, not an upsell.
-
The difference between "guessing" and "knowing" when it comes to your chiropractic adjustment.
-
Real-life examples of serious conditions (cancer, aneurysms, hidden fractures) that were discovered through routine spinal imaging.
-
A compelling case study of how an X-ray solved the mystery of a teenager's chronic migraines.
-
The truth about radiation exposure from X-rays versus everyday activities like flying.
-
What to do if your chiropractor has never taken an X-ray and how to find a practitioner who prioritizes your safety.
