They are also valuable to rule out fractures or tumors.

If x-rays were taken, he will review those with you and clarify how they help to direct the best treatment plan. He will then discuss with you which chiropractic options are best for you in regard to your return to good health and inform you of the length of time that deemed appropriate to heal your current condition.
