When getting evaluated for a foot condition many times a x ray is necessary. X rays can tell us about bone alignment. it also tells us about your functionality. Are you pronating or supinating . Are you in Varus or Valgus. One can measure if the arch is dropping or if there is a gaping from a ligament tear.
