X-rays
Seated Position X-Rays
When a spinal problem exists, weak or injured muscles and ligaments cannot hold our spinal bones (vertebrae) together, erect and aligned with gravity. Seated x-rays highlight these issues, insuring that no problem will be missed but that we can identify and measure the level of muscle and ligament injury.
The Pettibon System™ testing and x-ray
procedures enable us to:
• Determine if your spine can be corrected under care.
• Prescribe appropriate care plans and assess progress.
• Confirm that our clinical care is correcting your spine and posture.
Should you have any concerns about spinal x-rays, here are some radiological facts from the Mayo Clinic:
Two routine chest x-rays .07 millirads Average annual environmental radiation exposure 300 millirads The Pettibon X-ray Series – 7 Films 20 millirads Maximum acceptable radiation for a fetus 10,000 millirads Number of Pettibon X-rays required to exceed 10,000 millirads 3,124
