Seeing the Invisible Injury
Have you been in an auto accident? Are you still in chronic pain, yet the ER doctors and standard MRIs told you "everything looks normal"?
They missed the injury because they were taking a static picture of a dynamic problem. Spinal ligament injuries often only reveal themselves when the spine is in motion. Digital Motion X-Ray (DMX) is a fluoroscopic video that records your spine at 30 frames per second while you move, allowing us to see exactly where the bones are sliding and where the ligaments are torn.

Watch DMX in Action

*Notice how the ligaments allow the vertebrae to slide excessively forward when bending. This structural instability is the true source of chronic pain and cannot be seen on static imaging.
Why DMX is Crucial for Auto Accidents
- Proves Whiplash InjuriesDMX provides undeniable, visual proof of whiplash trauma and ligament laxity, which is essential for personal injury cases.
- Guides Structural CorrectionOnce we see exactly which ligaments are damaged, we can create a highly targeted auto injury rehab and CBP protocol to stabilize that specific area of the spine.
- Diagnoses Upper Cervical IssuesDMX is the gold standard for diagnosing upper cervical instability, specifically damage to the Alar and Accessory ligaments at the base of the skull, which cause severe headaches and dizziness.
