X-Ray

Advanced X-Ray Services

At Golden State Orthopedics & Spine, we use state-of-the-art X-ray technology to help our doctors quickly and accurately diagnose bone, joint, and soft-tissue conditions. X-rays are often the first step in evaluating injuries such as fractures, dislocations, and arthritis, providing clear images that guide personalized treatment and care.

When Is an X-Ray Needed?

Your doctor may order an X-ray to evaluate pain, swelling, or deformity following an injury or to monitor changes in a known condition. Common reasons for X-rays include:

• Arthritis or joint degeneration
• Bone alignment after injury or surgery
• Chronic pain in the spine, hips, knees, or shoulders
• Fractures or broken bones
• Joint dislocations

What to Expect During Your X-Ray

X-rays are quick, painless, and performed on-site at most Golden State Orthopedics & Spine locations. Our radiologic technologists will position the area being examined, ensuring your comfort while capturing high-quality images for your doctor’s review. Most X-rays take only a few minutes, and results are typically available the same day.
