Why X-Rays After a Car Crash Can Save Your Health (and Your Case)
Published by OrlandoCityHealth.com
🚗 You May Not Feel the Damage—But X-Rays Will Reveal It
Car accidents happen fast. You may walk away thinking you're fine—no bleeding, no broken bones. But soft tissue injuries, hidden fractures, and spinal misalignments may not show symptoms for hours or even days.
At Orlando City Health and Wellness, we use on-site full-spine X-rays to detect hidden injuries, guide treatment, and document your case for legal protection.
🦴 Why Post-Accident X-Rays Matter
A full-spine X-ray can detect:
Whiplash-related spinal misalignment
Disc space narrowing
Vertebral fractures
Loss of cervical or lumbar curve
Degenerative changes worsened by impact
These findings are often missed without imaging, especially if you're only seen at an urgent care or ER.
🩻 What X-Rays Can Do That Palpation Can’t
Manual exams (touching and testing movement) are important—but they can't show:
✅ Disc height loss
✅ Bone spurs
✅ Structural deviation
✅ Pre-existing conditions worsened by trauma
At our clinic, we take standing full-spine X-rays so we can see how gravity and posture impact your spine—something laying-down MRIs or CTs can miss.
⚖️ Medical-Legal Advantage: Documentation Matters
If you're pursuing a personal injury case, X-rays do more than just diagnose—they:
Create visual proof of your injury
Show attorneys the extent of spinal trauma
Help calculate permanent impairment ratings
Strengthen your position for settlement or court testimony
