Prolotherapy is one of the most promising treatments for chronic neck pain, ligament injuries, and joint instability. But even the most advanced regenerative injections will fail if they’re injected into the wrong area or if the true source of pain isn’t properly identified.
That’s why many patients and doctors now use Digital Motion X‑Ray (DMX) before prolotherapy.
At DMX Miami, we help you and your provider pinpoint exactly which ligaments are unstable, ensuring that your prolotherapy is targeted, effective, and worth your time and investment.
What Is Prolotherapy – and Why Precision Matters
Prolotherapy (short for “proliferation therapy”) is a regenerative injection technique that stimulates healing in damaged ligaments and connective tissues.
It’s commonly used for:
- Cervical ligament instability
- Chronic neck pain or stiffness
- Whiplash or post-concussion symptoms
- Joint instability or repetitive strain injuries
But the key to successful prolotherapy is injecting the damaged tissue directly which is nearly impossible if you don’t have objective proof of instability.
DMX: The Perfect Pre-Prolotherapy Map
Digital Motion X-Ray (DMX) captures your neck in motion, recording 30 X-ray frames per second while you perform gentle movements.
It shows:
- Which vertebrae are shifting abnormally
- Ligament laxity, especially in C0–C1–C2
- Segmental instability that static MRI or CT scans miss
- Real-time motion dysfunction that causes your symptoms
This gives your prolotherapy provider a clear visual target no guesswork, no missed injections, no wasted sessions.
Why Prolotherapy Sometimes Fails
Even the best prolotherapy won’t work if:
- The wrong ligaments are treated
- Instability is not detected beforehand
- You’re treated based on symptoms, not objective motion testing
DMX eliminates this uncertainty by identifying:
- Alar and transverse ligament damage
- Upper cervical instability
- Multi-level cervical joint laxity
- Subluxation during head rotation or extension
Who Needs a DMX Before Prolotherapy?
DMX is highly recommended if you:
- Have had a concussion, whiplash, or neck trauma
- Have normal MRI or X-rays but ongoing symptoms
- Are preparing for prolotherapy and want to optimize success
- Want to avoid wasted injections or failed procedures
- Plan to undergo multiple regenerative sessions and need baseline imaging
