Dr. Schimp uses x-rays to diagnose conditions, such as arthritis, cancer, osteoporosis, and bone fractures or dislocations.

X-rays can help determine the necessary course of treatment and reveal if some underlying conditions might interfere with it. For example, patients often come to doctors of chiropractic after having suffered an injury. In many such cases, x-rays are necessary to exclude the possibility of more serious health problems. X-rays are also recommended in older patients— for example, to help detect the probability of osteoporosis—as well as in patients with a history of certain types of arthritis, tumors and many other conditions.

We use digital x-ray equipment which offers state-of-the art quality and convenience. If requested, we are happy to provide you with a CD image of your x-rays for your personal records or to share with other health care providers.

If your condition warrants further investigation we will refer you for additional studies such as; MRI, CT Scan, ultrasound imaging, bone scan or DEXA.
