Chiro London Podcast

The podcast from Chiro.London, hosted by founder Craig McLean. We meet chiropractors or people of influence who have an interesting life journey to share, always intertwined with a Chiro link. We started by chatting to the whole Chiro.London team of chiropractors and along the way we expanded to include some of the past Chiro London team, international chiropractors of influence, health focused London businesses or people (yoga, Pilates, gyms, PTs, psychotherapists) and simply some cool people who have found their way through the Chiro London doors. Enjoy!

Listen in if you are a (current or new) chiropractic patient who is wondering if a spinal x-ray would be appropriate for you. Meet Dr Sarah Burnett, musculoskeletal radiologist who we have worked with since 2009. Find her on twitter @radiodrsarah

We cover the risks vs the benefits of having an x-ray. Chiropractors have a listen, especially later in the episode as we discuss the GCC and what is needed to justify taking an x-ray. Spoiler alert, if you have any clinical concerns that may affect the delivery of your chiropractic treatment you are better to know what's hiding beneath.

We also cover MRI scans towards the end, what is it, who should have one and where can you get it done. Chiropractors we also discuss what to look out for regarding quality of the MRI image, different machines and different radiographers can give drastically different image qualities. Thanks Dr Sarah.
