Citizens for Chiropractic and the Continued Use of X-rays

Chiropractic aid works. Giving them a deeper glance into the structure is a no-brainer

Absolutely ridiculous.

Chiropractors are an essential part of my health care. Why would the college choose to limit their ability to offer the quality care I have depended upon? This decision should be between the patient and the Doctor of Chiropractic.

X-rays are essential for providing proper patient care.

X-ray is a critical part of NUCCA chiropractic diagnostic tools!!

Without X-rays of the upper spine we are doomed. Look through the testimonials on my YouTube or Instagram. People suffering laundry lists of conditions completely better because I did what no Irene chiropractor had done, properly take upper Cervical X-rays of the exam shows sign of an issue. Makes all the difference

I've worked with different chiropractors who use xray and think it's incredibly helpful in determining the health of my spine/back.

Absolutely non-rational logic. How can the professional rule out pathologic processes unless radiologic studies are taken, firstly. Secondly, if the doctor uses taken images for analysis and evaluation of study toward lines of alignment and joint abnormals that help lead the doctor to appropriate treatment and observation of healthy anatomy...utilization of radiographic study are imperative.

x-ray is a key tool for a chiropractor to not only detect subluxation but also other reasons that adjusting a certain area should not be done because of other preexisting ailments!

They should have all the tools available to them to help in the treatment of their patients without question.

This is absurd! Of course Chiropractors need to have the ability to x-ray the body of their patients to determine the correct course of treatment.

I join this petition to keep my right to take and use x-rays in my practice as a chiropractor. They serve me well in diagnosing, preventing conditions and helping my patients.

I have first hand experience of the value of chiropractic care.

What happened to patient choice?

Diagnostic tools are the key to productive rehabilitation!

X-rays are a vital tool and assist chiropractors in providing the best possible care for their patients. I fully support their use of X-rays and hope that the Board reverses their decision!

Must have!

This is a very shortsighted approach that restricts a citizens right of access health care. Public policy is a very delicate matter when brought against constitutional rights. I would suggest that the Board of Directors take another look at this matter and reverse their decision. There was nothing wrong with the system the way it was. If you are concerned around practitioner practice then deal with a competency approach to assessment for assurance as do other professions

Without a question, radiographs are a vital portion to providing the very BEST care possible.

Absolutely necessary for these professionals to still use this diagnostic tool in working with the spine.
