Proving Your Pain is Real
The most frustrating part of an auto accident is knowing you are in severe pain, but having doctors tell you "your scans look normal."
The problem is that you only hurt when you move, but you were lying perfectly still during your MRI. A Digital Motion X-Ray (DMX) solves this. By filming your spine in motion, we can definitively prove if you have suffered a ligament injury or whiplash trauma that is causing your bones to shift uncontrollably.
Why We Use DMX After Accidents
- Guiding Your RehabWe don't guess with your spine. The motion X-ray tells us exactly which ligaments are torn, allowing us to build a highly targeted rehabilitation program.
- Ruling out High-Risk ConditionsDMX is crucial for ruling out severe upper cervical instability, ensuring that it is safe to proceed with conservative chiropractic care.
- Objective Legal EvidenceInsurance companies dismiss pain, but they cannot argue with a video showing your vertebrae sliding abnormally due to structural damage.
