X-Ray

Our C-Arm X-ray system is a modern, versatile imaging device that provides high-resolution images of musculoskeletal structures. During your 15-minute appointment, our trained healthcare professionals will position the X-ray equipment to capture the necessary views of the affected area. The procedure is completely painless and non-invasive, requiring only that you remain still for a few seconds while each image is taken. You will be asked to remove any jewelry or metal objects from the area being imaged, and protective shielding will be used to minimize radiation exposure to other parts of your body.

X-ray imaging at Prema Health is particularly useful for investigating conditions such as suspected fractures following injury, assessing joint problems like Tennis Elbow or Golfer’s Elbow, evaluating chronic conditions like arthritis in the hands or knees, and investigating unexplained bone or joint pain. Many patients who experience conditions such as Trigger Finger may also benefit from X-ray imaging to rule out underlying bone or joint abnormalities.

Once your X-ray images are captured, they are reviewed by our qualified medical professionals who will provide a detailed report of the findings. This report can be shared with your referring physician or used to guide your treatment plan at Prema Health. If further investigation or specialist referral is required, our team will discuss the next steps with you and provide appropriate recommendations. The convenience of rapid access to X-ray services means you can move forward with diagnosis and treatment without unnecessary delays.

X-ray imaging is an essential diagnostic tool for a wide range of musculoskeletal conditions. It is commonly used to diagnose fractures and broken bones following injuries or falls, assess joint problems including osteoarthritis and rheumatoidarthritis, investigate persistent joint pain in areas such as the knees, hands, elbows, or ankles, and evaluate bone abnormalities or deformities. X-rays can also help identify conditions such as bone spurs, calcium deposits, and joint dislocations.

Many patients seek X-ray imaging when they experience symptoms such as severe pain following an injury, swelling and reduced mobility in a joint, chronic pain that does not improve with conservative treatment, or suspected sports injuries. Whether you are dealing with an acute injury or a chronic condition requiring ongoing monitoring, our X-ray services provide the clarity needed for accurate diagnosis and effective treatment planning. Our comprehensive approach ensures that once a diagnosis is made, you have access to appropriate treatment options through our range of medical services.
