X-ray

Without X-rays it is not possible to visualize the bony structures of the spine and skeleton. As Chiropractors are experts in treating spinal and musculoskeletal disorders it is imperative that X-rays are taken to make a precise and accurate diagnosis. Not everyone will be X-rayed, if you are pregnant or a growing teenager X-rays will be avoided. Also if you have had recent X-rays elsewhere in the last 6 months we can analyze your existing X-rays, reducing the need for new X-rays. At Harbourlife Health we pride ourselves on our safety and thoroughness. If you are pregnant or a growing teenager , and am unable to have X-rays we can still perform a Computerized Spinal Scan which does not use any radiation. This scan consists of a Surface Electro Myogram (sEMG) and Thermography. Similar to an X-ray this Spinal Scan can identify the presence of dangerous Subluxations in your spine.

At Harbourlife Health we have new up to date technology. This means the use of digital X-rays which can be burnt to disc and given to the patient for future use. We also offer "bulk billing" for all X-rays taken, meaning you can claim on the spot when you present your Medicare card.
