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 Simpsonville 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 Simpsonville 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.

I’ve had such a great experience with Dr. Perkinson and the entire team. When I first started care, I was dealing with shooting nerve pain in my shoulder and arm every single day. Since beginning treatment that pain is now gone, and I have reached the point where I’m able to go less and less often because I’m doing so much better.
Dr. Perkinson is knowledgeable, caring, and truly takes the time to help his patients feel their best. I’m so grateful for the improvement I’ve experienced and would highly recommend Dr. Perkinson to anyone looking for a chiropractor!
Was having severe lower back problems, and barely able to get around. Within one month was fully back on my feet and doing the things I love to do. I feel amazing and it's all thanks to carolina life!
I have had many different experiences with chiropractors over the years, but never won so thorough and precise As with Dr. Perkinson. The way he takes time to fully understand You and your needs is rare.
I am very grateful that I found Dr. Perkinson! My low back problems have substantially improved since I became a patient of Carolina Life Chiropractic. Dr. Perkinson is very personable and is always inquiring about how I'm doing, listening to my responses, and adapting my treatment plan accordingly.
Dr. Perkinson is excellent at listening, finding, and fixing the subluxations that I have. I recommend friends to go see him even with a drive like I have from Anderson to Simpsonville/Greenville. I have had times where my neck or lower back needs correction and he works out what is there without overworking on my body during each chiropractic session. He makes sure that I know what he is doing and why he is doing certain manipulations. He encourages a healthy lifestyle to aid in the healing process and encourages me to exercise, eat healthy, and drink water after the adjustments. He is very knowledgeable about the spine and is willing to learn more on his own time about the issues I deal with on a daily basis. He encourages me to come to see him as often as I am able, realizing that I may not be able to make it to his practice as often as I need due to my physical limitations and demands. I appreciate him for being a great person and doctor of chiropractic who devotes his time and attention to me exclusively during my sessions.
I can certainly understand why Dr. Bernardo has five stars. It starts with a thorough assessment where he takes the time to discuss your personal concerns and goals. He then performs a comprehensive, hands-on evaluation to identify specific focus areas. Following that, he takes targeted x-rays to confirm his findings. Once the results are ready, he walks you through everything in detail. His diagnosis was spot on, and he provided the comprehensive treatment plan I needed. Having had assessments elsewhere, I found Dr. Bernardo’s approach to be the most effective, intensive, and probative. He rocks!
My back injury was stopping me from day to day normal. I'd been in PT and under Orthopedic care for months with little to no relief. I kept asking for a chiropractor because my body just felt malaligned! Finally I'm referred to Carolina Life. At 15 sessions Dr. Bernardo Perkinson has seriously changed my quality of life!<br><br>He took imagery, gave an assessment and plan. All of the painful places I explained to others in vain, he could TOUCH the inflammation with his hand. The adjustments and red light therapy have me feeling the best I have in years.<br><br>Chiropractors should be a part of routine body maintenance. I know I will definitely continue rotating even beyond my treatment plan. Dr. Perkinson's a consummate professional, kind and knowledgeable in his field. Glad I was referred and I tell everyone!!!
Since receiving treatments my lower back pain has improved from a 9 down to a 1 and my radiating leg pain has totally gone away! I recommend Dr Bernardo Perkinson’s care for anyone that wants to improve their mobility and decrease their chronic pain.
I have been to a handful of chiropractors in my 21 years as a patient of chiropractic. He is worth every penny including the up to 1.5 hour drive time. His Gonstead method is unique, different, and effective. I came to Dr. Perkins and he was actually able to fix my knee so I could walk better on it. He makes sure he understands your spine fully with x-rays. His plans are very fair. He gave me an ice pack after my first adjustment. After my adjustment my body started feeling improvments and continuing to be better. He focuses on the details of the spine which is very unique. He listens and takes time with his patients. He also works on the joints outside of the spine, in addition to my knees he has helped the TMJ in jaw and my hips. I have continued to see him as a patient. He is always friendly, welcoming, and professional! His office is warm, inviting, organized and clean. He takes time care, and attention when you are his patient. He has contined to help me in ways that are particular to my needs. His adjustments help me feel better and live better and do what I want to do in life day in and day out!! His unique methods and continuing desire to learn has helped me cognitively by reducing pain in my body. It has helped me with the tingling, sensory sensitivity, headaches, and tenderness to touch. Issues I had after my TBI and spine injury. He helped me<br>make more progress than conventional doctors did . He helps keep me working at my job with manual labor. he was anle in my case improve the curve to a significant degree for my indiviual case. He adjusted the top of my neck and helped the numbness I feel when sleeping at night in my arm. I look forward to all the care he will continue to<br>provide to keep me whole and functioning well into my future. He doesn’t just try to sell you to keep you in appointments for the money either. He makes a plan and appointment schedule based on your needs and the demands of what tolls life puts on your body.
Dr. Bernardo is absolutely amazing. He truly cares for the wellbeing of his patients. My mom went to him first and then I did. I’ve noticed a big change in my health just by coming in. I highly recommend his services.
