Do you experience strange symptoms like:
- Racing heart rate
- Digestive issues
- Anxiety or panic-like episodes
- Trouble regulating temperature
- Brain fog or chronic fatigue
- Shortness of breath or lightheadedness
And yet… your tests come back normal. Your doctors say it’s “stress,” or they diagnose you with dysautonomia or POTS but no one looks at your neck.
At DMX Miami, we help patients who are suffering from unexplained neurological and autonomic symtoms by identifying cervical instability that affects the brainstem and vagus nerve using a real-time imaging tool called Digital Motion X-Ray (DMX).
Why Your Neck May Be Affecting Your Whole Nervous System
The upper cervical spine (C0–C1–C2) is one of the most sensitive, neurologically rich areas in the body.
It surrounds and protects:
- The brainstem
- The vagus nerve (regulates digestion, heart rate, breathing, blood pressure)
- Vertebral arteries supplying blood to the brain
- Cranial nerve roots and spinal cord transition point
If the ligaments in this region are damaged or unstable, your vertebrae can shift excessively during motion irritating the brainstem and compressing nerves and blood flow.
This instability can disrupt your entire nervous system, leading to autonomic dysfunction that mimics:
- Panic attacks
- POTS (Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome)
- ME/CFS (chronic fatigue syndrome)
- Functional neurological disorder (FND)
How Digital Motion X-Ray (DMX) Finds the Problem
Traditional MRIs and CTs are done lying down and still they show only structure, not function.
Digital Motion X-Ray (DMX), on the other hand:
- Captures your cervical spine in motion, at 30 frames per second
- Identifies abnormal movement at C0–C1–C2
- Detects ligament laxity (especially alar and transverse ligaments)
- Visualizes real-time subluxation, instability, and compression
DMX is often the only test that reveals the true root of your symptoms.
Symptoms of Brainstem Irritation from Cervical Instability
You may be experiencing:
- Tachycardia (rapid heartbeat)
- Blood pressure drops or surges
- Shortness of breath
- GI symptoms (nausea, IBS, gastroparesis)
- Anxiety, panic, or overstimulation
- Brain fog, fatigue, or shutdown
- Blurred vision, sensitivity to light/sound
- Poor temperature regulation or sweating episodes
These symptoms are often misdiagnosed or dismissed but they’re frequently linked to mechanical stress on the brainstem caused by upper cervical instability.
