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:
A spinal x-ray can give our chiropractor in Vista 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 Vista 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.
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.
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.
Don’t let health issues and pain get any worse. Give us a call and book your appointment to come see our chiropractic team today!

First time here and staff super friendly and Dr Is amazing
Don't walk run to see Dr. Dette! I waited too long to get relief! When I was in my teens I had back surgery for scoliosis to "fix" it. I never had any issues until about two years ago (I just turned 64) with constant pain in my hips and legs. I was told by doctors never to go to a Chiropractor because of the rods in my back. Previously doctors diagnosed me with arthritis/bursitis and offered lots of medication/steroid shots. I was taking Ibuprofen frequently to manage the pain which only worked for a day or so. Even walking was painful. I tried everything-massage, exercise, PT, etc. Then I found Dr. Dette. I didn’t expect immediately relief but that’s what I got. After my first appointment with Dr. Dette, most of the nerve pain has subsided significantly. I do not have to take Ibuprofen anymore! I strongly recommend Dr. Dette!
I can’t recommend Dr. Dette enough! Before my first visit, I was experiencing severe lower back pain and was having a difficult time walking normally. After my very first adjustment, I noticed an incredible improvement and was able to walk normally again. The relief was almost immediate, and it made a huge difference in my daily life.<br><br>Dr. Dette was very communicative throughout the entire process. He took the time to explain what was causing my pain, answered all of my questions, and provided valuable advice on how to prevent future back problems. His professionalism, knowledge, and genuine care for his patients really stand out.<br><br>I also want to recognize Jeremy at the front desk. He is always friendly, welcoming, and extremely helpful whenever I call or come into the office. Great customer service from start to finish.<br><br>If you’re dealing with back pain or looking for a chiropractor who truly cares about your health and recovery, I highly recommend Dr. Dette and his team!
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️<br><br>I’ve been seeing Dr. Kevin Dette for several years for chronic low back pain and sciatica, and I can’t say enough good things about him and his practice.<br><br>When I first started treatment, I was dealing with constant pain that affected nearly every aspect of my daily life. Dr. Dette took the time to understand my condition, develop a treatment plan, and help me manage my pain in a way that allowed me to continue working, supporting my family, and maintaining my quality of life. His adjustments, recommendations, and overall approach have made a significant difference in my ability to function day-to-day.<br><br>What really sets Dr. Dette apart is that he genuinely cares about his patients. He listens, takes the time to answer questions, and always treats you like a person rather than just another appointment on the schedule.<br><br>As a veteran, I was also pursuing a VA disability claim related to my back injury. Dr. Dette thoroughly reviewed my records, documented his findings, and provided professional medical support that helped accurately reflect the severity and history of my condition. His willingness to help and attention to detail played an important role in my claim process.<br><br>If you’re looking for a chiropractor who is knowledgeable, professional, compassionate, and truly invested in helping his patients, I highly recommend Dr. Kevin Dette and Pacific Family Chiropractic.<br><br>Thank you, Dr. Dette, for everything you’ve done for me over the years.
Dr. Kevin Dette is an amazing man. My visits with Dr. Dette started in 2004 with my desire to be cured of the debilitating pain I was experiencing. After several treatments, it was clear that there are layers of knowledge to chiropractic treatment that are unappreciated by most people like me.<br><br>Once I began to learn the seemingly endless benefits of chiropractic care, it has become a major staple of my life. Dr Dette’s personal, friendly, and professional approach is undergirded by additional information given for the maximum benefit of the treatments. Pacific Family Chiropractic is where you want to be if you’re serious about your healing and ongoing health. Best to you all and the Pacific Family Chiropractic.
