Episode 2: Straight-Talk Physio Podcast --- What Are The Benefits of An X-ray? Can We Actually See Right Through You?
X-rays are a very critical component of health care in general, but what are they being used for? X-rays are a good tool to help identify or screen for more serious pathology (fractures, bony abnormalities, hip dysplasia, pulmonary embolism, etc.). Unfortunately, this screening tool is not always used optimally for orthopedic and sports injuries. In this podcast we dive into what exactly an x-ray is, what x-rays are good at finding, what x-rays are bad at finding and whether or not x-rays are clinically useful in treating common orthopedic and sports conditions.
