Digital X-Ray Analysis in Aurora
See What’s Really Happening—To the Millimeter
You can’t correct what you can’t see. While many chiropractors rely on physical examination alone, guessing at the underlying cause of your challenges, we believe you deserve precision. Digital X-ray analysis reveals the structural truth your body has been trying to communicate—misalignments, degenerative changes, pelvic imbalances, and spinal compensations measured to the millimeter.
This is why patients who’ve tried multiple practitioners without lasting results often find answers at Moore Chiropractic Group. We’re not guessing. We’re measuring, analyzing, and correcting based on objective structural data.
The Foundation of Corrective Care
Your nervous system controls every function in your body—healing, adaptation, movement, and vitality. When structural misalignments interfere with nerve communication between your brain and body, optimal health becomes impossible. Digital X-ray analysis shows us exactly where these interferences exist and how severe they’ve become.
These misalignments create what chiropractors call subluxations—specific vertebral segments with reduced mobility that disrupt the signal between your brain and body. Like a phone call with poor reception, the message gets through, but it’s corrupted. Your body receives the wrong instructions or weakened signals, resulting in malfunction long before pain ever appears. This is why so many patients discover significant structural problems they never knew existed—50-80% of disc degeneration typically occurs before symptoms force you to seek care.
We identify:
- Scoliosis and abnormal spinal curvatures
- Pelvic rotation and leg length discrepancies
- Vertebral misalignments affecting nerve pathways
- Disc space narrowing (often 50-80% loss before symptoms appear)
- Degenerative changes indicating how long problems have existed
- Structural compensations creating cascading dysfunction
Most patients immediately recognize their own problems when viewing their images. We overlay precision measurement lines, plumb references, and angle calculations—you see exactly what we see. No medical jargon, no confusion. Just clear visual evidence of why your body has been struggling.
Understanding Your Degeneration Phase
Digital X-rays reveal exactly where you fall on the four-phase degeneration spectrum—and this determines everything about your care timeline and realistic outcomes:
- Phase 1: Postural changes and early disc space variations. Usually no pain. Highly responsive to correction. Most reversible phase.
- Phase 2: Lost spinal curves, narrowing disc spaces, limited range of motion. Stiffness and achiness appear. Function can be largely restored, though some disc and bone changes may be permanent.
- Phase 3: Spinal fusion beginning, permanent curve abnormalities, advanced disc damage. Progression can be stopped and symptoms relieved, but structural damage is irreversible.
- Phase 4: Vertebral fusion, permanent neurological and bone damage, significantly restricted movement. Quality of life compromised. Corrective care can still relieve compensatory stress in other spinal areas and maximize remaining function without surgery.
Your X-ray findings tell us which phase you’re in and what results are actually possible. We give you honest timelines based on evidence, not false promises. Phase one patients see faster corrections. Phase three patients require longer timelines and more realistic expectations.
This transparency respects your time, money, and right to informed decisions.
Progress You Can See
Using Imicyte software, we create detailed reports measuring vertebrae-to-vertebrae angles and documenting structural abnormalities. When we re-evaluate (typically annually, sometimes at six months if clinically indicated), comparison reports show your progress objectively. You’re not relying on how you feel—you’re seeing measurable structural improvements.
This objective documentation also provides valuable records for insurance purposes and helps you understand the true value of your corrective care investment.
Beyond Symptom Relief: Wellness Maintenance
Once structural corrections are achieved, many patients transition to wellness-based care—weekly or biweekly adjustments that address the subluxations caused by everyday stress (physical, chemical, and emotional). This prevents the gradual slide back down the degenerative path and maintains the nervous system function you worked to restore. Think of it as the difference between fixing your foundation once versus maintaining it so the cracks never return.
Required for Comprehensive Care
Digital X-rays are performed in approximately 95% of new patient cases at Moore Chiropractic Group—not as an upsell, but as clinical necessity. Dr. Moore and Dr. Pike cannot design precise corrective protocols without understanding your complete structural picture. The nominal additional investment (included in your $200-400 initial consultation cost when clinically indicated) provides the diagnostic foundation that separates guesswork from precision healthcare.
Your body deserves care based on evidence, not assumptions. Call today to schedule your comprehensive structural analysis.
