Our clinic offers access to digital X-ray imaging on site, a service not available at every chiropractic clinic. Your practitioner will discuss whether imaging is appropriate for you.
If imaging is needed and available, you may be able to have it at our Gladesville clinic.
X-rays can provide information about bones and joints alongside your history and examination.
Digital X-ray creates images that can be reviewed as part of your clinical assessment.
Your practitioner can discuss the findings and what they mean for your next steps.
UNDERSTANDING DIGITAL X-RAY
Digital X-ray uses a small amount of ionising radiation to create images of structures inside the body. It can help investigate certain injuries or changes affecting bones and joints. An X-ray does not show every cause of pain, and it is not needed for every chiropractic patient. Your practitioner will explain why imaging is recommended and discuss alternatives where appropriate.
YOUR X-RAY APPOINTMENT
The exact process depends on the area being examined. Our team will explain what to expect and answer your questions.
Bring your imaging request and any relevant previous scans or reports. Call us if you are unsure what you need.
Let the radiographer know if you are pregnant or may be pregnant, or have concerns about the examination.
You may need to remove jewellery or clothing with metal and change into a gown, depending on the area.
The radiographer will help position you at the X-ray table or detector and explain each step.
You will be asked to stay still for a few seconds while each image is taken. More than one view may be needed.
The team will explain how your images and report are reviewed and when to discuss the results.
YOUR VISIT
Please call our Gladesville team before booking to check referral requirements, appointment availability and fees. Bring relevant previous imaging or reports if available. If you are pregnant or think you might be, tell the team before your X-ray so the examination can be considered appropriately.

COMMON QUESTIONS
Will I need an X-ray before chiropractic treatment?
+
Not necessarily. Many people can be assessed without imaging. Your practitioner will consider your history, examination and clinical circumstances before recommending an X-ray.
Can an X-ray show why my back or neck hurts?
+
An X-ray can show bones and some changes in joints, but it does not show all soft tissues or explain every cause of pain. Your practitioner considers the images alongside your symptoms and examination.
Can I bring a referral or previous images from another clinic?
+
Please bring your request and any relevant images or reports. Call us beforehand to check whether we can accept your particular referral and arrange the examination you need.
What if I am pregnant or think I might be?
+
Tell the radiographer and your referring practitioner before the examination. They can discuss whether the X-ray is appropriate, whether it can be delayed and whether another approach is suitable.
How will I get my results and what will the X-ray cost?
+
Our team can explain the reporting process, expected timing and fees for your particular examination. Please call (02) 9817 2005 before your appointment, as these details can vary.
