New Patient Examination at Shu Chiropractic
At Shu Chiropractic, we want to help you maximize your health and wellness while promoting a natural, healthy lifestyle.
Whether you have a chronic illness or serious condition, a professional diagnosis is crucial to getting the right treatment, because it is important to know exactly what causes the symptoms you are experiencing.
Diagnosing Back Pain and Injuries
If you have injured your back, or are experiencing pain in your neck or back, Shu Chiropractic can provide the diagnosis to prevent further damage to your body.
Dr. Shu diagnoses each patient's condition based on the patient's medical history and a physical examination. Sometimes Dr. Shu will recommend x-rays to aid in the diagnosis of the cause of the pain. X-rays in chiropractic treatments provide a better understanding of the spine’s anatomy and any existing injuries.
X-Ray at Shu Chiropractic
X-rays are one of the best ways to diagnose spinal disorders and are often used as an initial diagnostic tool when someone presents with acute or chronic low back or neck pain.
Our x-ray machine is ISO 13485 certified. X-ray imaging allows us to rule out acute or chronic bone conditions, such as fractures, dislocations, infections of bones, joint degenerations (arthritis), and much more.
In some cases, x-rays are used to help identify scoliosis, which is an abnormality in the spine that curves to one side instead of straight down the middle. Scoliosis can cause back pain at different levels of severity, and it may also affect other parts of the body, such as the hips and legs.
