Private X-Ray Services in Birmingham
At Heath Lodge Clinic, we offer a comprehensive private X-Ray in Birmingham designed to provide quick and accurate diagnostic support. Our advanced system allows us to capture high-quality images of various body parts, including the chest, major joints, and spine. These X-Rays are invaluable for assessing conditions such as arthritis and other joint issues, often serving as a crucial first step in a patient’s diagnostic journey. In some cases, our specialists may recommend an additional MRI scan to provide a more detailed assessment.
We understand the importance of timely diagnosis, which is why we strive to offer minimal waiting times for our X-Ray services. As an independent clinic, we typically have appointments available within a few days, depending on the availability of our radiographers. This prompt service ensures that you can move forward with your treatment plan without unnecessary delays.
Referral Requirements for X-Ray Appointments
To ensure the highest standard of care, we require a clinical referral for an X-Ray in Birmingham conducted at Heath Lodge Clinic. This referral can come from your GP, physiotherapist, chiropractor, osteopath, or podiatrist. The referral provides our consultants with vital background information, enabling us to tailor the imaging process to your specific needs. This detailed approach not only enhances the accuracy of the diagnosis but also forms a critical part of our safety procedures, ensuring that the appropriate area is scanned and reducing the risk of errors.

Frequently Asked Questions
Got a question? We’ve answered some of the most common queries below to help you feel fully prepared for your visit.
What is an X-Ray?
An X-Ray is a quick and painless imaging test that uses a small amount of radiation to create images of the inside of your body. It’s commonly used to examine bones, joints, and the chest to help diagnose a variety of conditions.
I’m type 1 diabetic and wear a device, what do I need to be aware of?
If you wear a diabetes management device such as a continuous glucose monitor (CGM) or insulin pump, please let our team know when you arrive. Most X-Rays won’t affect your device, but we may ask you to temporarily move or protect it depending on the area being scanned.
Is there anything that I can expect on the day?
Heath Lodge Clinic’s X-Rays in Birmingham are straightforward and typically quick. You don’t need to do anything special to prepare, though we recommend wearing loose, comfortable clothing and avoiding jewellery or clothing with metal. During this, you’ll either lie on a table or stand against a surface, with the radiographer carefully positioning the machine to capture the required images. The procedure is painless and is usually completed within minutes.
What’s the usual time frame for an X-Ray?
The scan typically takes just 5 to 10 minutes. Most patients are in and out of the clinic within 20–30 minutes. Reports are reviewed by a consultant radiologist and sent to your referring clinician, often within a few working days.
Can I bring a friend with me?
Yes, you’re welcome to bring someone for support. They may need to wait in the reception area during the scan itself for safety reasons due to radiation exposure.
Are there any side effects that I should be aware of?
X-Rays use a very low dose of radiation and are considered extremely safe. There are no side effects, and you can carry on with your normal activities straight after the scan.
