X-Rays and MRIs

As part of a consultation at Fascia First Chiropractic you are screened for suspicion of a serious medical condition and or a clinical need to refer onwards, privately or within the NHS. If you feel you need an x-ray or an MRI have a chat with Lee during an appointment to see if there is a clinical indication.  

X-Rays

For x-ray imaging Lee recommends the Walk in Centre in Yate. West Walk Surgery, 21 West Walk Yate. BS37 4AX open 8-8 every day. The NHS run Walk In Centre holds a Nurse or Paramedic led Strains, Sprains and Minor Injuries Clinic. You can turn up without an appointment.

Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI)

Fascia First Chiropractic has teamed up with the Linton House Imaging Centre in Cheltenham for MRI access. A place Lee has referred to for over 15 years for the most cost efficient imaging. Lee can also refer you to North Bristol Diagnostic Centre for your MRI or CT needs.

MRI from £350

What happens next (MRI):
Once a clinical need is established a referral is made on your behalf, the imaging centre then contacts you to make an appointment (At this point you can confirm the price you will pay. Prices vary depending upon time chosen). Your imaging report will be prepared by a Medical Radiologist and where needed any additional comment can be sought from a Chiropractic Radiologist on your behalf. Extra reporting leads to extra cost.  

When to Image

Your imaging may be used to identify a suspected serious condition, rule in a diagnosis or to help direct a plan of treatment for you.

If you consider that you need imaging read this blog post.

 

The point of imaging is to direct treatment and not to see what’s on the inside.

 

Images are not taken as a matter of course.
