Let Your Chiropractor SE Portland Help You With An MRI

By Elinor Fowle


Whenever you have been injured in an auto accident, it is extremely important to get an accurate diagnosis before any kind of care plan is implemented. A chiropractor must follow all standards before ordering an MRI. If he or she observes a substantial radiculopathic presentation, which causes an inability to use specific muscles or groups of muscles, an immediate MRI (magnetic resonance imaging) can be ordered by a Chiropractor SE Portland before starting any care program.

In other words, if you are feeling any kind of pain that may be related to the accident, then your doctor can make the appointment for the MRI. This includes parts you may not have thought were injured, such as the skin. If your skin feels especially sensitive or you have lesions, this could be a symptom of the accident and needs to be checked out immediately.

Herniated discs are common after a car crash. This can mean spinal adjustments that can be done in the office to help relieve pressure and pain. But they do not do these things blind. The images from the scans can help them determine if this is the best way to proceed.

A chiropractor can also work in conjunction with neurologists, orthopedic practitioners and surgeons and has access to the most recent technologies, including CT scan imaging, should they become necessary.

Of course, it is not just car wrecks that can cause the pain. Your medical professional is happy to schedule scans for workplace injuries or even something accidental or sports-related.

If you have health insurance provided by either yourself or an employer, you should have no trouble using it at your chiropractor's office. Most policies will cover the full cost, though in some cases you may need to do a co-pay or deductible. So you can rest assured that no matter the expense, your doctor will do everything they can to help you, including images and scans.
