Digital X-Ray in Keller, TX
To see is to know; not to see is to guess. At Performance Chiropractic Clinic, we want to know exactly what's happening in your spine so we can accurately and confidently help return you to health. When your history and examination call for it, Dr. Dennis James uses in-office digital X-ray to assess your musculoskeletal system, identify areas of structural stress, and uncover complicating factors that shape how gentle care is delivered.
Why We Use Digital X-Ray
Digital X-ray is an advanced structural diagnostic tool. It helps Dr. James evaluate:
- Spinal alignment, curvature, and posture-related stress
- Disc space narrowing and degenerative changes
- Arthritis and joint changes
- Injuries after auto accidents and falls
- Complicating factors such as scoliosis, prior surgery, or bone density concerns
These findings help us tailor gentle chiropractic and Zone Healing safely to your body, especially for patients with complicated histories or those who were told they could never see a chiropractor.
Advantages of Digital Imaging
- Immediate results: images are available right away, so you can review them with Dr. James during your visit
- Enhanced clarity: digital processing techniques improve image display and detail
- Lower radiation: digital systems typically use less radiation than traditional film
- Convenience: imaging is done in our office, keeping your visit smooth and efficient
Only When It's Needed
Not every patient needs X-rays. We recommend imaging only when your history and exam indicate it, such as after trauma, when disc or structural problems are suspected, or when results will change your care. If your findings suggest you need an MRI or other advanced imaging, we will refer you.
Part of a Complete Picture
Digital X-ray shows structure. Our advanced technology suite, including Insight™ scans and AcuGraph® imaging, shows function. Together, they help Dr. James explain why your body is responding the way it is and measure your progress. Imaging is especially helpful for back pain, neck pain, sciatica, whiplash, and candidates for spinal decompression. Learn more about our unique approach.

What can an X-ray show a chiropractor?
X-rays reveal spinal alignment, curvature, disc space changes, arthritis, injuries, and other structural factors that guide safe, gentle care.
Can I have an X-ray if I'm pregnant?
X-rays are generally avoided during pregnancy. Please tell our team if you are or may be pregnant.
Do you order MRIs?
