Digital X-Ray and Diagnostic Imaging in Fort Myers and Lehigh Acres.
Accurate diagnosis starts with accurate imaging. Novaré Injury Care and Rehab provides on-site digital x-rays with the most powerful equipment available in the chiropractic marketplace, plus MRI coordination and in-house radiologic interpretation by Dr. Ivan Bracic. We image before we treat because guessing leads to wrong treatment plans.
Why Does Imaging Matter Before Chiropractic Treatment?
Many chiropractors adjust based on physical examination alone. That works for simple cases. But for disc herniations, fractures, spinal stenosis, nerve compression, and post-accident injuries, a physical exam can't tell you what's happening inside the spine.
At Novaré, our medically integrated chiropractic clinic, imaging isn't optional for new patients. Here's why:
- X-rays show bone structure, alignment, fractures, and degenerative changes
- MRI shows soft tissue, disc herniations, nerve compression, and ligament damage
- Without both, you're treating based on symptoms rather than a confirmed diagnosis
- The wrong treatment for the wrong condition can make things worse
- Dr. Bracic has post-graduate training in MRI interpretation
- Your x-ray images go home with you on a flash drive
- Imaging documentation supports legal cases after accidents
What Does Our Chiropractic Clinic's Digital X-Ray Technology Show?
We use the most powerful digital x-ray equipment available in the chiropractic marketplace. Here's what it reveals:
Spinal Alignment
Full-spine x-rays show vertebral alignment, curvature abnormalities, and structural issues that affect your symptoms. This guides exactly where and how we adjust.
Fractures & Instability
Before adjusting any trauma patient, we rule out fractures, dislocations, and spinal instability. This is especially critical for auto accident patients.
Degenerative Changes
X-rays reveal disc space narrowing, bone spurs, and joint degeneration that affect treatment decisions. Some conditions respond better to decompression than manual adjustments.
MRI Coordination
When x-rays suggest disc involvement, Dr. Bracic coordinates MRI imaging and reads every scan himself. He has specialized post-graduate training in MRI interpretation.
When We Recommend Imaging
We take x-rays on every new patient visit, and our chiropractor, Dr. Ivan Bracic, DC, reviews each one at our Fort Myers clinic. MRI is coordinated when disc or nerve involvement is suspected.
