The College has officially rescinded the restriction on chiropractic X-rays. We are now reviewing the new documentation to ensure these clinical diagnostic tools remain accessible for all patient assessments.

The College of Chiropractors of British Columbia (CCBC) is arbitrarily restricting the use of X-rays in the clinical setting to medical conditions. This means a Chiropractor will no longer be able to take X-rays to determine your underlying spinal misalignments - the cause of on-going vertebra dysfunction and resulting spinal degeneration/pain. This will drastically undermine the quality of your future chiropractic care. X-rays increase the safety and effectiveness of chiropractic care and must not be arbitrarily restricted by the College.
For those of you having benefited from a comprehensive Spinal Health Assessment, that included X-rays, we ask for your help by signing the petition in the link provided below, supporting the Chiropractic profession and their continued safe use of X-rays. You deserve the best Chiropractic has to offer, nothing less!

We are approaching the one thousand signature threshold which will serve as our primary evidence when I meet with board representatives. Please direct your networks to this page so we can finalize our submission packet with a clear mandate. I am currently preparing the formal briefing document for legal counsel based on the current signature count.

Because of xray imagining my chyropractore was able to see where my cervicial stinoses was and was able to work around it , to make me feel almost 100% with out this technology i might still be laying in bed on 400mg of oxicotton. I am now on 60 a day
Chiropractors have been regulated and allowed to take X-rays in BC since 1934. Why would the BC College of Chiropractor want to remove a scientific proven diagnostic tool that can aid in the quality of care given to the patients. What is their Agenda?
As a long-term recipient of chiropractic care I am appalled by the idea of restricting the use of x-rays by chiropractic. I would never consider being adjusted without the benefit of x-rays to help determine best approach as well monitor progress.
X-ray analysis is a very low risk, high reward, essential tool for the optimal care in a chiropractic setting. Taking that tool away puts patients at greater risk of missing pathology that could be life threatening and creating suboptimal care.
Like any doctor,chiropractors should have the right to prescribe an X-ray if they and their patient agree it is needed. That a doctor would pay many thousands of dollars to have a safe, convenient X-ray machine available, I find amazing and commendable!
Ridiculous, NUCCA has been my only relief. Without this service I would have been a mess physically!!
Yes x-rays are a big help in seeing what's going on with our un-visible parts from the outside. Highly agree to keeping x-rays a art of chiropractic.

xray is a vital component for the proper diagnosis and correction of spinal conditions including ruling out contraindications and revaluating and adapting treatment protocols. To limit this is a danger to patients and is not based on current research.
