Considering regenerative medicine like PRP, stem cell therapy, or prolotherapy for your neck pain or injury?
Before moving forward, it’s essential to know exactly which ligaments are unstable — and why your pain persists despite normal scans.
At DMX Miami, we provide Digital Motion X‑Ray (DMX) imaging that uncovers hidden ligament injuries that are invisible on traditional MRI or CT. This can make or break the success of your regenerative procedure.
Why Regenerative Treatments Sometimes Fail
Many patients are told they’re good candidates for regenerative injections — but the treatment doesn’t work because it wasn’t accurately targeted.
Here’s why:
- MRI and CT scans only show the structure, not instability
- Ligament injuries often do not show up on static imaging
- Pain is often caused by micro-movement in unstable joints, not visible damage
DMX solves this problem by revealing which ligaments actually move abnormally during motion, especially in the upper cervical spine.
What is Digital Motion X‑Ray (DMX) — and Why is it Critical?
DMX is a dynamic fluoroscopic imaging test that captures your spine in motion, frame by frame. It’s the only tool that allows us to see the real-time function of your spinal ligaments under stress.
In just 15–20 minutes, we evaluate:
- Upper cervical stability: C0–C1, C1–C2
- Alar and transverse ligament integrity
- Mid and lower cervical segment motion
- Compensation patterns that impact healing
DMX = Better Targeting for PRP, Stem Cell, and Prolotherapy
By mapping instability, DMX gives your regenerative specialist:
- Pinpoint guidance to inject the correct ligaments
- Objective evidence of instability (used in case reviews and consults)
- A baseline to measure treatment progress
DMX is often requested before regenerative care at:
- Centeno-Schultz Clinic
- Regenexx
- BioXcellerator, Stemwell, and others in the US and Latin America
