On-site digital X-rays in Surprise, AZ

Imaging as part of your assessment

When clinically indicated, X-rays are an important part of our diagnostic process. They can provide information that may not be apparent through consultation and physical examination alone.

Our doctors combine imaging findings with your health history, consultation and examination to better understand your condition and determine an appropriate, individualized treatment plan. If imaging is proposed, ask what the doctor hopes to learn and how that information would help guide the next step.

What digital X-rays can help evaluate

Detailed images can provide valuable information about:

• Spinal alignment.
• Bone and joint structure.
• Degenerative changes and arthritis.
• Previous injuries and other findings relevant to your assessment.

Your doctor can explain which findings are relevant to your concerns and how they fit with the rest of your examination.

Spine, extremities and other joints

Our on-site digital X-ray capabilities include:

• Spine and pelvis: cervical, thoracic and lumbar spine, and pelvis.
• Upper extremities: shoulders, arms, elbows, wrists and hands.
• Lower extremities: hips, knees, ankles and feet.
• Other areas: additional clinically appropriate joints and regions.

The convenience of on-site imaging

Having digital X-rays available directly in our Surprise office means necessary imaging does not routinely require a separate trip to another facility. Our doctors consider which imaging is appropriate for your individual needs.

If you already have imaging or reports, ask our team what would be helpful to bring. You can also ask which areas are being considered, what the images may show and how the findings could influence your care options.
