You were in a car accident or suffered a fall. You didn’t break anything maybe even felt fine at first. But weeks or months later, you’re still dealing with:
- Neck pain
- Dizziness
- Headaches
- Brain fog
- Clicking or cracking sounds when you move your head
And yet… your MRI or X-ray says everything is normal.
If this sounds like you, the problem may not be a disc it may be ligament instability caused by whiplash.
At DMX Miami, we specialize in diagnosing hidden spinal instability using Digital Motion X-Ray (DMX) a tool that captures what standard imaging can’t: how your neck behaves when it moves.
What Happens to Your Neck in a Whiplash Injury
Whiplash doesn’t just affect muscles.
Even low-speed collisions can cause micro-tears or overstretching of the ligaments that stabilize your cervical spine especially at:
- C0–C1 (skull to first vertebra)
- C1–C2 (first to second vertebra)
- Mid to lower cervical joints (C3–C7)
These ligaments (such as the alar and transverse ligaments) are responsible for keeping the vertebrae aligned during motion. When damaged, they can’t hold the spine stable even if static X-rays or MRIs appear normal.
How DMX Identifies Ligament Damage from Whiplash
Unlike MRI or CT scans, which are taken while lying still, Digital Motion X-Ray (DMX) records real-time images of your spine in motion up to 30 frames per second.
DMX can detect:
- Abnormal movement of vertebrae during rotation, flexion, or extension
- Joint instability and ligament laxity
- Subluxation or misalignment that occurs only with motion
- The mechanical cause of your pain and neurological symptoms
In other words, DMX captures the injury that other tests often miss.
Ideal for Post-Accident Patients With:
- Ongoing pain or symptoms after “minor” crashes
- Normal imaging despite worsening symptoms
- Delayed onset of symptoms weeks after trauma
- Dizziness, visual disturbances, or motion sensitivity
- Neurologic complaints after concussion or head trauma
- Failed rehab or poor response to conservative care
