Not always a chiropractor can just treat a finger or work on a sore joint without X-rays. We just had someone come in hoping it wasn’t broke. Chiropractors can’t confirm a break without X-rays. Dr. Hammell performed X-rays and read them on the same visit. Sure enough it was broke. Do you know what could have happened if Dr. Hammell adjusted it without knowing it was broke?
Better yet the patient only had to pay his $25 insurance copay. X-rays aren’t performed on every patient!
