Neck ligament damage – Do you have symptoms that seem to affect your whole body but no one can find the cause?
- Brain fog
- Fatigue
- Heart palpitations
- Digestive problems
- Sensitivity to light or sound
- Balance issues
- Trouble breathing or swallowing
These may seem unrelated, but they could all be coming from one place:
Your neck.
At DMX Miami, we use Digital Motion X‑Ray (DMX) to uncover hidden cervical instability especially in the upper neck (C0–C1–C2) that may be affecting your nervous system and causing systemic symptoms that doctors can’t explain.
How Neck Ligament Damage Affects Your Entire Body
Your upper cervical spine is home to:
- The brainstem
- The vagus nerve (controls digestion, heart rate, breathing)
- Blood vessels that supply the brain
- Ligaments that keep your head stable and aligned
If those ligaments are stretched, torn, or unstable (from trauma, poor posture, or repetitive stress), your vertebrae may shift excessively during motion. That can cause:
- Compression or tension on the brainstem
- Dysautonomia (autonomic nervous system dysfunction)
- Inflammation or mechanical irritation of neural pathways
- Unexplained full-body symptoms
Symptoms That May Be Caused by Upper Cervical Instability
- Brain fog or pressure
- Dizziness, balance issues, or vertigo
- Rapid heartbeat or breathing difficulty
- Light/sound sensitivity or overstimulation
- TMJ, facial tension, or swallowing problems
- Digestive disturbances (nausea, bloating, IBS-like symptoms)
- Fatigue or “shutdown” sensations after minor activity
If you’ve had MRI, CT, bloodwork, or even neurologic evaluations and all came back normal cervical instability could be the answer.
What Is Digital Motion X‑Ray (DMX)?
DMX is a real-time X-ray study that records your neck in motion. It captures 30 frames per second as you move your head through guided positions.
Unlike static MRI or CT, DMX shows:
- How your vertebrae move in real life
- Excessive motion at C0–C1–C2
- Ligament laxity and joint instability
- The structural cause of body-wide dysfunction
This type of motion-based imaging is often the missing piece in mystery health cases.
Who Should Get a DMX?
You shuld consider DMX if you:
- Have multiple unexplained symptoms with no clear diagnosis
- Have worsening symptoms with head movement or posture changes
- Have a history of concussion, whiplash, sports injury, or trauma
- Feel “off” or neurologically dysregulated, especially with normal tests
- Have failed physical therapy, chiropractic, or vestibular rehab
