Citizens for Chiropractic and the Continued Use of X-rays

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.

X-rays can often tell you what not to do and they also detect hidden health problems. We need to keep the ability to take xrays

I fully support the use of on site X-ray at my Chiropractic Clinic. This aspect of my chiropractic care greatly enhanced my Chiropractor’s view of my progress related to past whiplash incidents and ‘DDD’ diagnosis from the age of 15. I’ve had him check my progress once every five years. And with his expert care we both see improvement

I really protest this restriction. chiropractors do not have xray eyes! This is a crucial diagnostic tool for them. After all they specialize in aligning the spine an bones of the body. So are they supposed to guess what is wrong? Incomprehensible that this should be restricted. Please do the right thing and allow xrays. Doctors in hospitals cannot diagnose without them, therefore how do you expect Chiropractors to carry out their care for us without.

Clearly there is an agenda here as we have provided true medical literature and evidence far superior to anything presented by the CCBC. The fact that they openly support contradictory stances on the individual Chiropractors websites, is distinctly disturbing.

As chiropractors we do not use xrays as a primary purpose to diagnose but rather to allow us to better understand the subluxation complex. Don't take away a tool that is incredibly important in our work. To see is to know, to not see is to guess. Don't make us start guessing.

There is too much valuable information on xrays for us to work without them. It allows the profession to be more specific with care and achieve better results.

Doctors want to be as SPECIFIC as possible. Nothing more has to be said.

To see is to know, not to see is to guess and no one should ever guess about another person's health.

Several conditions require monitoring such as scoliosis. Not taking follow up x-rays is considered negligent. The chiropractors on the board have likely never managed a case such as this and would likely have no idea what is required to effectively manage it. If they did they would never have made this decision. They truly believe that there is no relationship between structure and function.

I retired one yr ago. What the hell is going on with my beloved chiropractic profession? Get rid of these zealots who are ruining our profession.

I'm aghast to think that the college of chiropractors would even consider this. It makes no sense.

Chiropractic needs X-Rays to be specific and evidence based

You cannot adjust without knowing what is underneath. You are not being precise you are guessing. I as a Chiropractor will never guess on a patient

I fully support the use of X-Rays for Chiropractic use as my entire family, professional dancers and sportsmen, has benefited from Chiropractic care over the years, with the use of full x-rays to ensure accuracy in the treatments ..

X-rays are need to be as specific as possible in correction of the misaligned vertebrae. A surgeon just doesn't cut someone open without proper information.

Postural radiographs allow us to build a more complete health history on our patients with clinical information directly relevant to our intervention. Being able to take x-rays will allow us to make evaluation easier, more convenient, and more affordable for the patients rather than referring to a special imaging center. We will also reduce the incidence of negative reactions from blind manipulation.
