🩻 X-RAY: WHEN DO YOU NEED ONE?

Injured yourself and wondering, “Do I really need an X-ray?” 🤔

An X-ray can be an important first step in figuring out what’s causing your pain.

🩻 When might you need an X-ray?
• After a fall, accident, or sports injury
• When you’re having significant or persistent joint or bone pain
• If there’s swelling, bruising, or difficulty putting weight on an area
• When we suspect a fracture or dislocation
• To evaluate arthritis or other changes in the bones and joints

🔎 What can an X-ray tell us?

X-rays can help identify fractures, dislocations, arthritis, bone abnormalities, alignment issues, and other changes involving the bones and joints. They help us understand what’s going on and determine the best next step for treatment.

At 417 Sports Medicine & Orthopedics, we make getting answers convenient. We offer X-rays right here in our clinic, along with ultrasound and same-day in-house MRI, so we can get to the bottom of your injury and create a treatment plan without unnecessary delays.
