Accurate diagnosis starts with accurate imaging. Novaré Injury Care and Rehab provides on-site digital x-rays with the most powerful equipment available in the chiropractic marketplace, plus MRI coordination and in-house radiologic interpretation by Dr. Ivan Bracic. We image before we treat because guessing leads to wrong treatment plans.
Many chiropractors adjust based on physical examination alone. That works for simple cases. But for disc herniations, fractures, spinal stenosis, nerve compression, and post-accident injuries, a physical exam can't tell you what's happening inside the spine.
At Novaré, imaging isn't optional for new patients. Here's why:
We use the most powerful digital x-ray equipment available in the chiropractic marketplace. Here's what it reveals:
Full-spine x-rays show vertebral alignment, curvature abnormalities, and structural issues that affect your symptoms. This guides exactly where and how we adjust.
Before adjusting any trauma patient, we rule out fractures, dislocations, and spinal instability. This is especially critical for auto accident patients.
X-rays reveal disc space narrowing, bone spurs, and joint degeneration that affect treatment decisions. Some conditions respond better to decompression than manual adjustments.
When x-rays suggest disc involvement, Dr. Bracic coordinates MRI imaging and reads every scan himself. He has specialized post-graduate training in MRI interpretation.
We take x-rays on every new patient visit. MRI is coordinated when disc or nerve involvement is suspected.
