Have You Ever Seen Your Spine? Here’s Why It Matters

Most people have had X-rays of their teeth — it’s routine, right? But when was the last time you had X-rays of your spine?

For many, the answer is never. And yet, your spine is one of the most important structures in your body. It houses your nervous system, supports your posture, and plays a crucial role in how you move, feel, and function each day.

If you’ve never actually seen your spine, it might be time to take a closer look.

Why We Take Spinal X-rays at Unlock Health Chiropractic

At Unlock Health Chiropractic, we take X-rays only when it's clinically indicated. That means we don’t X-ray everyone, but if we notice signs of postural imbalance, inflammation, or other structural concerns during your assessment, we may recommend spinal imaging.

Why? Because X-rays allow us to:

• See exactly what’s going on under the surface

• Spot signs of wear and tear, misalignment, or long-term inflammation

• Get a clear understanding of your spinal health

• Tailor your chiropractic care with precision

When we can accurately identify what needs attention, we can make targeted corrections that lead to deeper, longer-lasting improvements.

It’s Not Just About Pain

Many spinal issues develop quietly, without noticeable symptoms — until they reach a point where your body starts to compensate. That’s why proactive care is so important.

With X-rays, we can:

• Pinpoint the root causes of dysfunction

• Monitor progress over time

• Protect your long-term health and mobility

• Support clearer communication between your brain and body via the nervous system
  
  

You Can’t Fix What You Can’t See

Your spine is your body’s central support system — and it deserves the same level of care and attention as your teeth, eyes, or heart. If you’ve never had a proper spinal check-up, now might be the right time.

Let’s take the guesswork out of your health and help you understand what’s really going on inside.
