An x-ray is a diagnostic test that uses electromagnetic waves to create pictures of the inside of the body. This type of x-ray is called a digital x-ray. A digital x-ray uses a computer to create the x-ray image, which can be stored on a computer.
A digital x-ray is different from a traditional x-ray because it:
Is more clear and detailed
Uses less radiation
Can be stored on a computer
Provides images quickly
Why Get a Spine X-Ray?
A spinal x-ray can give our chiropractor in Columbia important information about your spine. The imaging can help diagnose problems with your bones, joints, and discs. A spinal x-ray can also help find problems with the ligaments, muscles, and other soft tissues in your back that are tougher to diagnose without the images.
It is not always necessary to have an x-ray. In some cases, your symptoms, a physical exam, and your medical history will be enough for our chiropractor in Columbia to come to a diagnosis. In other cases, we may recommend an x-ray or other imaging tests to get more information about your condition before beginning treatment.
We would only recommend an x-ray if we felt it was medically necessary to help with diagnosis and guide us with treatment options. X-rays do expose you to radiation, so it’s best to only use this course of action if it’s deemed necessary.
What to Expect When Getting a Spinal X-Ray
If it’s decided that a spinal x-ray would be beneficial, one of our team members will take you to the x-ray room in our office. You will be asked to remove any jewelry or other objects that might effect the imaging. You’ll be positioned with the x-ray machine and our team member will step out of the room to snap the image. We may take multiple images from different angles to make sure we have the best outcome. You may be asked to hold your breath at certain points during the x-ray to prevent movement that could blur the image.
Usually taking x-rays only take a few minutes. Once we are done grabbing the images, we will be able to review them on our computers within minutes. We can show you the images and talk through exactly what we are seeing and how this is playing a role in your health.
Getting X-Rays of Your Spine in Columbia
If you’re dealing with a health issue, it’s possible that it’s connected to your spine. The spine plays a major role in your overall health. Being the main highway for the nervous system, it’s important to keep your spine healthy. When you come into our office for care, depending on your health concern, we may recommend getting an x-ray of your spine to help guide us in the best direction for your care.

I love going to The Ridge Chiropractic. You are welcomed at the door with a smile and atmosphere is welcoming. The service is quick but good quality. I recommend to anyone who is looking for a chiropractor. Dr. Levi has helped me tremendously over a span of a few months and I leave the office feeling better every time.
I have been treated by numerous chiropractors over the past 40 years, and while many provided some benefit, few produced lasting results. Dr. Levi has truly distinguished himself from the rest. He is the only chiropractor who has been able to effectively adjust my neck and provide significant, lasting relief.
In addition, he used dry needling to successfully address chronic pain in my right forearm that had been bothering me for years.
Based on my experience, Dr. Levi is by far the most skilled and effective chiropractor I have been to. I would highly recommend him to anyone seeking knowledgeable, results-oriented care.
Dr. Levi has helped me so much. I don’t have numbness and tingling in my legs now. The staff are very friendly and helpful. I can’t recommend The Ridge enough.
It's hard to finds words to express how thankful I am for Dr. Levi and his wonderful staff. He Cares and that means alot to me . The Lord blessed him with hands to help not only me but others. I had neck and back pain along with shaking. He helped that in a very short period of time . Finished today , I have no pain and no shaking. I will continue to see him, because he is the best. Last year I couldn't walk or drive much, today I am doing great. Thank you Dr. Levi and staff. I recommend him one hundred percent.
My Husband is trying to not have Shoulder Surgery a thus far the help he’s getting from Dr. Levi has helped more than anyone knows. The staff is Amazing and we can not say enough good things about Dr. Levi. If anyone has any aches an pain anywhere I say go see Dr. Levi before u have any major surgery. I know sometimes it’s something that cannot be helped but at least go see him it’s not always about just getting your Neck adjusted (even tho that helps). Dr. Levi has aside range of things that he can help with. He’s an Amazing Dr and his staff is just as Amazing.
Dr. Levi and his staff are wonderful. From start to finish of my first visit I felt reassured. Dr. Levi took the time not just to care for me but to explain why I had pain and came up with a plan to keep me pain free! After my first visit Dr. Levi himself even called after to check in with me after. Even if you’re in a surrounding county, it is worth the drive over for this level of care and concern.
Once again, I was hurting bad, not being able to rest good at night, but Dr. Levi got me up and moving again without the pain. God bless him and his entire staff. If you haven't been there yet, you're missing out on going to the greatest chiropractor there is.
I had such a great experience here! From the moment I walked in, everything felt quick, easy, and welcoming. The atmosphere is so comfortable and relaxing, which made a huge difference for me. The chiropractor was professional, kind, and really took the time to make sure I felt at ease. I never felt rushed, but everything was still very efficient. Highly recommend if you’re looking for a place that makes you feel comfortable while providing excellent care!
Levi has been absolutely amazing. My back went out a few months ago, and for a few days I couldn't even stand up straight or really walk. He put me on a plan, included the decompression table, and his adjustments twice a week , and they have been a life saver! I don't know where I would be and how much pain I would be in if it wasn't for Dr. Levi. I would recommend him to anyone weather you need an adjustment or some serious treatment. He will walk you through the entire process, and make sure you are okay with everything. If you need to change up anything he will help anyway he can to make you comfortable, and will make sure you are taken care of to the best of his ability. Everyone at the Ridge is so nice, and fantastic. Customer service and respect is on point. I will not go anywhere else.
I’ve had issues with my neck & hip for years. No one could really ever give me much relief until Dr Levi. Him & his staff are amazing. You will never go anywhere else once going to the Ridge. I’d recommend them to anyone!
Two days after I had my daughter, I had a scary ICU visit with a brain injury. 2 months of upper back and neck pain. Thinking it was from being in a hospital bed for so long, Dr Levi took some X-rays and we found out I had whiplash from my fall (along with some other problems that were years in the making). Dr Levi has been amazing and even 4 visits in I feel so much better. I can hold my baby for longer without being in pain or uncomfortable. If you’re looking for a kind, upbeat, understanding, and talented chiropractor, you’ve found your guy.
Coming here truly changed my life. I walked in not realizing how much pain and limitation I had accepted as ‘normal,’ and walked out with hope for something better. Dr. Levi takes the time to help you understand what’s going on and makes you feel confident in your care. The staff is always so kind and welcoming, which makes every visit even better. I’m incredibly grateful for them all.
First visit and it was a great experience. The staff was welcoming and everything was explained clearly. The X-ray process was quick and easy, and I felt comfortable the whole time. Definitely coming back.👀
Dr. Levi takes the time to discuss your needs. He’s kind and reassuring. I’m seeing positive results with less pain in my shoulders and back. The staff is friendly, professional, and helpful.
The whole team at The Ridge is amazing! They are so caring and make every effort to ensure patients are well cared for. Dr. Levi is the most awesome chiropractor I have ever been to. He took time to listen to my concerns, diagnose my issues, and created a comprehensive treatment plan for the short time I am in town. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!!!!!
Dr. Levi and his staff are amazing. Me and my husband drive an hour away to get treatments from him. And we are glad to do it He is a Great Chiropractor and Person
I started coming to The Ridge a little over a year ago when I had sciatic nerve pain during my pregnancy. Dr. Levi was great and I seen him throughout my entire pregnancy and have continued to see him. I will recommend him and his team to anyone & everyone!
Very good experience. Levi told me it would take 5-6 time of appointments to get me straightened out and on the 5 appointment I was back to my old self able to move and sleep at night and work. Highly recommended and will remain going to Levi . He puts you on a plan of what your body needs not just to adjust you to get you feeling better but to get you pass and your body stronger and to stay stronger.
Dr. Levi has helped me so much with my back, neck, and hips. I work EMS and thought I was just going to have to deal with the pain because it’s part of the job but after going to him, he has made me feel so much better. The ladies in the front are super nice and very friendly. And very flexible with scheduling.
Dr Levi is awesome he has helped me so much! And the ladies in the front are great and super friendly! The first time I went I could hardly walk and was in so much pain. After just a month my back was feeling so much better and the arthritis in my knees is feeling better. For years the Doctors were saying the only thing that was going to help me was back surgery and knee replacement and I just didn’t want to do that but Dr Levi said he thought he could help me with the decompression table and acupuncture and it feels like a miracle because he was right.
The sweetest staff and the best patient care! Truly cannot express how knowledgeable and friendly they are! So grateful for all of their help and expertise!
Dr. Levi is one of most caring and knowledgeable out there . This will be the second time he has fixed me instead of me having surgery. Highly recommend.
We are in the wellness phase and could not be more pleased with our results. Dr. Levi and staff are outstanding. We recommend The Ridge Chiropractic to everyone!
In 50 years of Chiropractic treatments and over 14 chiropractors Dr. Levi is better than 99.9 percent of previous Chiropractors that I’ve seen. Dr. Levi is all around the best, he has me on a good plan and I am feeling the difference every day. The staff are the best I’ve ever seen. Thank you Dr. Levi and staff for making my pain a priority and showing me you care. God Bless You All.
I have had 2 back surgeries, 2 neck surgeries and if I had not gone to the Ridge, I would be headed for another very serious back surgery. I was willing to try anything to keep from having another surgery. Dr. Levi X-rayed & told me he thought he could help. I am almost halfway through the treatment plan.<br>I haven’t been able to lay on my stomach for at least 20-25 years. I woke up yesterday morning so comfortable and resting so good, and then realized I was laying on my stomach!! Not a pain anywhere!! I felt like I had received a miracle.<br>I highly recommend Dr. Levi, he and his staff are always kind and helpful.
I have waited a few weeks before posting a review! I wanted to make sure the hype was real for this place! I have added two pictures to this review the first shows two supports that I have been having to use for a WHILE for my feet/ankles. I had self diagnosed myself with plantar fasciitis over a year ago. The pain got so bad that I would have to hold onto the wall to walk in the morning. After hearing so many positive things from coworkers I decided to give the Ridge a chance! Today I realized my first big milestone since coming here. I haven’t wore cute shoes in a long time! Tennis shoes only and always with inserts and my special socks! Today I wore these super cute shoes all day long without any pain. I haven’t been able to do this in over a year! If you’re in pain, just do yourself a favor and go to Dr. Levi!
