This is a basic xray that can give me quite a bit of quick and necessary information. My xrays in general are taken for assessment of spinal alignment and other possible findings that can and will guide my decisions on if, how, when, why and where to emphasize the spinal adjustments I give. Here's an example of why an xray proves valuable to most individuals after reviewing their health history, trauma history, family history, and/ or symptomatic presentation. Note the extended whitened bump (see arrow). This may not be an emergency situation. However, this is an early sign of aortic k**b stress! Calcification built up in this anatomical portion of the heart can create a reduction and/or blockage of blood flow through the aortic valve. These incidental findings are discussed in detail and highly recommended to be brought to the attention of their general physician. As well, this particular issue may be the life saver for an individual to finally make a lifestyle change in slowing or stopping the progression. So, is this enough reason to suggest an xray, if this was you?
