Full-Spine X-Rays for Back Pain: What We Can See That You Can’t Feel
Posted by OrlandoCityHealth.com
🔍 Back Pain Isn’t Always Obvious — But the X-Ray Never Lies
Back pain affects nearly 80% of adults at some point in their life. But the cause of your pain isn’t always something you can feel—and it isn’t always something your primary care doctor will catch.
At Orlando City Health and Wellness, we use full-spine standing X-rays to uncover hidden causes of pain and create precise treatment plans that work.
🦴 What Can a Full-Spine X-Ray Reveal?
Our digital full-spine X-ray provides a full visual of the cervical, thoracic, lumbar, sacral, and pelvic regions—all in one study.
Here’s what we look for:
Spinal misalignments (subluxations)
Disc space narrowing (early disc degeneration)
Bone spurs (osteophytes)
Postural distortions
Pelvic tilting or leg length discrepancy
Scoliosis or curvature shifts
Arthritis patterns
💡 Most back pain begins from cumulative changes—not just one injury.
📸 Why We Take X-Rays While You’re Standing
Most hospital MRIs or CT scans are taken while you’re lying down. But back pain is usually worst when you’re upright—because gravity and posture are involved.
By taking full-spine standing X-rays, we can:
See how weight is distributed across joints
Observe real-time spinal curves
Check pelvic leveling and structural load
This leads to better diagnosis and more personalized treatment.
🩻 Imaging That Guides, Not Guesswork
Instead of guessing where to adjust or which muscles to release, we use imaging to:
✅ Pinpoint which vertebrae are misaligned
✅ Identify degenerative vs. acute pain
✅ Track changes over time
✅ Build a custom rehab plan tailored to your body

🧠 Common Diagnoses We Discover with X-Rays
Sciatica
Degenerative disc disease
Facet joint arthritis
Spondylolisthesis
Spinal curvature issues
Chronic postural strain
These often go undiagnosed until imaging is performed—and many are treatable without surgery if caught early.
