X-Rays in Howell, MI
At Family Chiropractic in Howell, MI , in-office digital X-rays give Dr. Adam Fasick a clear look at your spine, so he can find the source of your pain, rule out serious problems and create a safe, effective care plan.
Why X-Rays Matter in Chiropractic Care
One of the most important parts of chiropractic care is accurate diagnosis. Chiropractic X-rays help rule out serious issues such as fractures, tumors or other pathology, and they show where and how the spine needs to be adjusted. Along with your history and exam, X-rays help Dr. Adam Fasick understand exactly what’s happening in your musculoskeletal system and how treatment can bring the best results.
Digital X-Ray Right in Our Office
Family Chiropractic is a state-of-the-art, paperless office with digital X-ray equipment on site. That means:
- No extra trip: imaging is done during your visit, not at a separate facility
- Immediate results: we can review your images right away and talk through them with you
- Clear images: digital X-rays offer sharp detail that can be enlarged and enhanced
- Lower radiation: digital imaging generally uses less radiation than traditional film X-rays
- Faster care: Dr. Adam can create your care plan and often begin treatment the same day
What X-Rays Can Show
X-rays help reveal spinal alignment and curvature, disc space narrowing, bone spurs, signs of arthritis and degenerative disc disease, and injuries from auto accidents, work or sports. They also help determine whether treatments like spinal decompression are appropriate.
When Are X-Rays Needed?
Not every patient needs X-rays. Dr. Adam typically recommends them for new patients, after an injury or trauma, when symptoms are severe or not improving, or when there has been a change in your condition. If you’ve had recent imaging or an MRI elsewhere, bring the results to your visit.
From Images to a Personalized Plan
Once we review your X-rays together, Dr. Adam will explain his findings in plain language and recommend a plan that may include gentle chiropractic adjustments, the Activator Method, corrective exercises or custom orthotics. Learn more about your first visit.

X-rays help rule out serious conditions like fractures and show spinal alignment, so Dr. Adam can provide safe, targeted care.

Not always. X-rays are usually recommended for new patients when they will help evaluate your condition, after an injury, or when your condition changes.
Are digital X-rays safe?
Yes. Digital X-rays generally use less radiation than traditional film, and Dr. Adam takes them only when clinically useful.
How quickly will I see my X-ray results?
Because our digital X-ray is in the office, we can review your images during the same visit.
Can I bring X-rays or an MRI from another doctor?
Yes. Please bring any recent imaging results so Dr. Adam can review them.
Can X-rays show arthritis or disc problems?
Yes. X-rays can show signs of arthritis, disc space narrowing and degenerative changes in the spine.
