If you happen to be going in to a clinic for a check-up, it will probably be uncomfortable.  If you’re waiting for a treatment at the hospital, that may be unpleasant.  And it goes without saying, if you’re waiting for test results, that situation could definitely involve tension. As it turns out, the place where everyone checks in and passes time until their name is called can be a big contributor …

Why is Digital Motion X-ray better than regular X-ray? Dr. Dennis explains.

Dr. Dennis Woggon, BSc, DC practices at St. Cloud Chiropractic Clinic & Clear Scoliosis Center and has 50 years of experience (01/17/2019)
Dr. Dennis Woggon: "Digital motion x-ray is an x-ray machine that takes 30 x-rays in one second, but it's about one-one thousandth of the normal radiation, very minimal amount of radiation.
