X-Ray Studies

Depending on your specific condition, we may take X-rays as well. Our X-ray machine has been modified to give the least amount of radiation exposure and get a great quality spine film. X-rays help us develop the most effective treatment plan for you, and alert us of any serious spinal conditions. Most people are amazed once they see their X-rays up close. In some cases, they can even identify their misalignments and degeneration themselves.

Report of Findings

Once the information is collected and examinations are performed, David Borges will give you a detailed report of all findings and answer any questions including:

  1. How can you help me?
  2. How often do I need to come in?
  3. What will my treatment cost?

After reviewing your health history, goals, and examining your spine and X-rays, we will discuss recommendations and notify you if your condition requires care with other providers. Before any treatment you, will fully understand our findings and you will be asked to review and sign the California State Board of Chiropractic Examiners Informed Consent form. Nothing will be done in our office without your prior informed consent. It is our goal to provide the best chiropractic treatment and lifestyle program for your needs.
