When Dr. Jeff Christensen opened Altoona Family Chiropractic back in 1998, his mission was simple—help people move, heal, and live better. Decades later, that mission continues with his son joining the practice and a new generation of technology enhancing patient care.
Recently, the clinic partnered with Brown’s Medical Imaging (BMI) and Prestige Medical Imaging (PMI) to install the XR FUSION® Digital Radiography System, a compact yet powerful X-ray solution designed to deliver crystal-clear images in even the most space-conscious practices.
For Dr. Tate Christensen, who joined the clinic after serving four years in the Army, imaging plays a critical role in patient assessment—especially when treating injuries or chronic spinal issues.
“I just want to make sure that we are able to see those things on X-ray so that when we’re treating them, we know everything that we possibly could know about their spine before we start doing our adjustments,”
said Dr. Tate Christensen.
By integrating digital radiography directly into their workflow, the team can visualize spinal curvatures, rotations, and other conditions that are difficult to identify through palpation and range-of-motion testing alone.
The XR FUSION® is designed for versatility and efficiency, making it an ideal fit for smaller practices like Altoona Family Chiropractic. With its space-saving configuration, ergonomic design, and fast, high-quality imaging, it helps chiropractors make confident decisions without slowing down patient flow.
“This is not a very large room,” Dr. Jeff Christensen explained. “We’re using every square inch of this space. And the way the machine fits in here—it’s going to be pretty good. Ergonomic.”
Dr. Jeff Christensen has trusted Brown’s Medical Imaging for years when it comes to selecting and servicing imaging technology. That trust continues with the XR FUSION®, backed by BMI-PMI’s comprehensive service network and one point of contact for installation, training, and ongoing support.
“My dad’s always trusted Brown’s Medical Imaging for these sorts of technologies,” his son shared. “So when we were looking for one, he just knew right away that’s what he wanted to use.”
With the XR FUSION® in place, Altoona Family Chiropractic is equipped to deliver even greater confidence, safety, and precision in patient care—proving that advanced imaging isn’t just for hospitals and large clinics. It’s for every provider who wants to give their patients the clearest possible picture of their health.
We’re proud to help practices like Altoona Family Chiropractic bring big technology to small spaces—because when care providers can see clearly, patients can heal confidently.
