WHAT ARE DIGITAL X-RAYS?
Back in Motion offers digital X-rays to optimize patient care. Also referred to as digital radiography, digital X-rays are popular because they quickly render an image. Digital X-rays are extremely useful and provide several additional benefits including extreme safety for the patient, high accuracy, easy to transfer, high quality images, reduced radiation exposure and they’re nonharmful to the environment, as well.
HOW DO DIGITAL X-RAYS WORK?
Digital X-rays allow physicians to visualize what can be the root issue of a patient’s condition. They also help physicians visualize bony misalignment and disease processes. Compared to traditional X-rays, they produce lower levels of radiation, ensuring patient health and safety.

Patients with:
- Bone loss and decay
- Spinal misalignment / Subluxation
- Bone and spinal injuries
- Many disease processes
