Why X-Rays?

Sometimes x-rays are helpful and necessary in further assessing and diagnosing your condition and the cause of your pain.

We use x-rays to assess for or identify:

• Spinal degeneration (decay), general wearing of your spine
• Diagnose any arthritic conditions
• Locate or rule out any fractures or spinal deformities post trauma
• Congenital variations of your spine
• Scoliosis
• Confirm other examination findings

If x-rays are required you will be referred to radiology department at Carnarvon hospital.
