conflicting results of chiro vs. radiologist


Q:
Age: 39   Sex: F   Concern: other  

My 5 year old was seen at a spinal clinic. They said she had lost curve to her neck and her neck was set to the left a twisted at the top.

Our pediatrician sent her for hospital xrays read by a radiologist... They showed vertebral bodies align normally, no fractures or other bony injuries. disk spaces are preserved. no prevertebral soft tissue swelling.

Help...... What does it all mean and is her neck okay or not????

I only want to do what is best........ Thanks

A:
From the xray reading, sounds like everything is fine structurally. Your doctors have the final word of course.
