You might think whiplash only causes pain right after an accident.
But many patients in Miami and worldwid discover symptoms weeks, months, or even years later.
By the time symptoms appear, standard MRI or CT scans often come back “normal.” That’s because these tests only capture your spine at rest not during movement, when the real damage becomes obvious.
At DMX Miami, we use Digital Motion X-Ray (DMX) to reveal hidden ligament damage from past whiplash injuries even those long thought to have “healed.”
Why Whiplash Symptoms Can Be Delayed
Ligaments are the soft tissue bands that hold your vertebrae in place. In a car accident or sports injury, these ligaments can stretch or tear.
When that happens:
- Vertebrae shift abnormally during movement
- Nerves and blood vessels can become irritated
- Inflammation can flare weeks later
- The neck becomes unstable under normal daily activity
This instability may not hurt immediately but over time, it can cause:
- Chronic neck pain
- Headaches or migraines
- Dizziness or vertigo
- Brain fog and memory issues
- Tingling in arms or hands
How DMX Finds the Damage MRI Misses
DMX records your cervical spine in real time as you move flexing, extending, rotating.
It can:
- Show abnormal motion at C0–C1–C2 and other levels
- Reveal ligament laxity
- Pinpoint structural instability causing symptoms
- Provide measurable evidence for treatment or legal documentation
