Should I have an X-ray of my spine? We talk to Dr Sarah Burnett, MSK radiologist. We cover the risks and benefits, what you can learn and why in many cases it's a good idea.

Send us Fan MailListen in if you are a (current or new) chiropractic patient who is wondering if a spinal x-ray would be appropriate for you. Meet Dr Sarah Burnett, musculoskeletal radiologist who we have worked with since 2009. Find her on twitter @radiodrsarah We cover the risks vs the benefits of having an x-ray. Chiropractors have a listen, especially later in the episode as we discuss the GCC and what is needed to justify taking an x-ray.  Spoiler alert, if you have any clinical concerns that may affect the delivery of your chiropractic treatment you are better to know what's hiding beneath. We also cover MRI scans towards the end, what is it, who should have one and where can you get it done. Chiropractors we also discuss what to look out for regarding quality of the MRI image, different machines and different radiographers can give drastically different image qualities. Thanks Dr Sarah. Instagram @chirolondonpod
