Dr. Carl W O'Hara- Chiropractic Care - Clarks Summit

Chiropractors Often Utilize X-ray Studies

Based on the nature of your condition as well as a number of other factors, x-ray studies of your spine or injured body part may be indicated. Doctors of chiropractic receive over 300 hours of x-ray studies in college prior to graduating and thus are fully trained to take radiographs and identify subtle abnormalities of the spine as well as more serious pathologies.

X-rays Are Safe and Provide Valuable Information

X-rays are a relatively safe and cost effective way to view the structure and general condition of the spine. They can reveal spinal regions under high stress and expose areas of degenerative change. This can often provide essential additional information which correlates history and examination findings allowing for a more accurate spinal analysis and a more individualized and effective treatment plan. If Dr. O'Hara feels x-rays or an MRI is necessary for assessing the appropriateness of your chiropractic care, then he will refer you to an outside facility that can do the additional testing accurately.

We obtain a history of the presenting complaint as well as any significant current or past health problems. The patient meets with Dr. O'Hara to discuss and further investigate their history. Dr. O'Hara will then perform a chiropractic/orthopedic exam and determine if any further testing is indicated. Once all the pertinent information is
gathered a working diagnosis is determined. The findings are discussed with the patient and treatment recommendations are made. Typically, if no further testing at an outside facility is deemed necessary, treatment is undertaken.
