Diagnostic Imaging

About Course

Diagnostic imaging is an essential tool in chiropractic practice, supporting accurate assessment, diagnosis, and management of musculoskeletal conditions. Through modalities such as X-rays, MRI, and CT scans, chiropractors gain valuable insights into spinal alignment, joint integrity, and underlying structural abnormalities. Imaging helps identify subluxations, disc degeneration, postural imbalances, and other biomechanical issues that may be contributing to a patient’s pain or dysfunction. By integrating imaging findings with physical assessments, chiropractors can develop more precise, individualized treatment plans that promote safe and effective care.

Principles and uses of X-ray, MRI, CT, and ultrasound in chiropractic care
Identification of normal and pathological radiographic anatomy
Recognition of common spinal and skeletal conditions
Radiographic analysis of spinal alignment and subluxations
Integration of imaging with clinical examination and history
Interpretation of postural and biomechanical abnormalities
Radiation safety, protection, and ethical considerations
