X-ray Facilities in Hexham
At our chiropractic practice in Hexham, Northumberland, your health and peace of mind come first. That’s why we’re proud to offer on-site digital X-ray facilities—providing clarity, precision, and confidence when it matters most. While X-rays are recommended only on a case-by-case basis and never as a routine procedure, having this advanced imaging available in-house means there’s no delay when further investigation is needed.
A Detailed “Blueprint” of Your Health
X-rays play an important role in ruling out or identifying more serious underlying conditions that may require a different approach to care. They provide a detailed “blueprint” of your spine, allowing us to see its structure clearly and understand exactly what’s happening beneath the surface. This is especially valuable in more complex cases, ensuring that any care we provide is both appropriate and precisely tailored to your individual needs.
Safety and Regulatory Standards
Your safety is central to everything we do. We take only the views that are clinically necessary, using the lowest possible radiation exposure to obtain high-quality diagnostic images. Our procedures strictly adhere to professional regulatory standards, including:
- Ionising Radiations Regulations 2017 (IRR17)
- Ionising Radiation (Medical Exposure) Regulations (IR(ME)R)
These regulations ensure every exposure is fully justified, optimised, and delivered with the highest standards of safety and governance.
Functional and Realistic Assessment
All of our X-rays are taken in a standing position, which allows us to assess your spine under normal weight-bearing conditions—giving us a more functional and realistic picture of your posture and alignment. We provide a fast turnaround, with results typically available within 24 hours—so you can move forward with answers, not uncertainty.
Removing the Guesswork
When it comes to your health, we believe in removing the guesswork. By combining clinical expertise with clear, accurate imaging where appropriate, we ensure your diagnosis is based on solid evidence—not assumptions.
