A Powerful Partner for Spine and Ligament-Focused Practices
Chiropractors are on the front lines of spinal and ligamentous injuries. You feel the joint restrictions, see the posture changes, and listen to patients describe pain that clearly changes with movement. But when MRI and static X-rays look “mild” or “normal,” it can be hard to fully document what your hands and clinical instincts are telling you.
At DMX Miami, we work with chiropractors throughout Miami, Fort Lauderdale, Miami-Dade County, Broward County, the Florida Keys, and the rest of Florida, as well as with providers across the USA, Central and South America (Colombia, Chile, Argentina, Mexico), and the Caribbean, who want motion-based evidence to support their care.
The Gap Between What You Feel and What Imaging Shows
Chiropractors often detect:
- Excessive joint play at certain segments.
- Protective muscle guarding around unstable areas.
- Movement patterns that reproduce or relieve the patient’s pain.
Yet reports from traditional imaging may say:
- “No acute osseous abnormality.”
- “Age-appropriate degenerative changes.”
- “No significant findings.”
This disconnect can:
- Undermine patient confidence.
- Make it harder to communicate with other providers or attorneys.
- Limit the perceived value of your clinical findings.
How Digital Motion X-Ray Complements Chiropractic Assessment
Digital Motion X-Ray provides real-time visualization of spinal motion that aligns with what you see in your exam.
At DMX Miami, DMX can:
- Confirm and quantify instability at suspected levels.
- Reveal hidden ligament damage that explains joint laxity and guarding.
- Show how certain movements (extension, rotation, lateral flexion) change segmental motion.
- Help differentiate between primarily discogenic issues vs. ligamentous and mechanical instability.
You’re already thinking in terms of function and motion DMX simply gives you a visual and measurable counterpart.
How Chiropractors Use DMX Findings in Practice
Chiropractors who refer to DMX Miami often use results to:
- Target adjustments more precisely and safely.
- Decide where stabilization exercises and rehab should be emphasized.
- Identify segments that may be contraindicated for high-velocity adjustments.
- Document improvement or persistence of instability over time.
- Strengthen communication with:
- Medical providers.
- Regenerative and pain specialists.
- Attorneys and insurers in injury cases.
DMX reports can be integrated into patient reports of findings, helping patients understand why your recommendations are specific and structured.
Building Patient Confidence with Objective Motion Evidence
When patients can see:
- Vertebrae that move excessively compared to their neighbors.
- Clear, labeled images of the segments you’ve been talking about.
- Before-and-after studies showing changes in motion patterns.
…they often:
- Gain deeper trust in your clinical judgment.
- Better understand why care plans include stabilization and rehab not just adjustments.
- Become more consistent with home exercises and lifestyle recommendations.
Objective imaging supports the education and empowerment that are central to chiropractic care.
Collaboration, Not Competition
At DMX Miami, we are not a treatment clinic competing with chiropractors. We focus exclusively on:
- High-quality Digital Motion X-Ray studies.
- Clear, clinically useful reports.
- Responsiveness to the questions and needs of referring providers.
We welcome collaboration with chiropractors across South Florida, the USA, and Latin America, and we’re happy to discuss:
- Which patients are good candidates for DMX.
- How to interpret findings in the context of your care.
- When repeat DMX may be appropriate for documentation or reassessment.
Ideal Chiropractic Patients for DMX Referral
Chiropractors often consider referring patients when:
- Symptoms persist despite appropriate care and conventional imaging is inconclusive.
- There is a history of auto accident, whiplash, sports injury, or work injury.
- There are signs of possible instability, such as muscle guarding, excessive joint play, or “giving way”.
- The case involves med-legal factors, and clear ligament documentation will matter.
DMX is not needed for every patient but it can be pivotal for the right patients.
