Recurring Concussions and Lingering Symptoms? Why You Need a DMX Evaluation

You’ve had a concussion or maybe more than one. The symptoms were supposed to go away.

But they didn’t.

  • You still feel off-balance
  • You get dizzy with movement
  • You struggle with focus and memory
  • Your neck feels tight, unstable, or painful
  • Head pressure, nausea, or fatigue show up with the smallest triggers

This isn’t just a “brain issue.” It could be a mechanical problem in your neck and Digital Motion X-Ray (DMX) may be the only tool that can finally show what’s wrong.

At DMX Miami, we help athletes, accident survivors, and active individuals get answers when post-concussion symptoms don’t go away and standard imaging can’t explain why.

The Overlooked Link Between Concussions and Neck Instability

Concussions are often treated as purely neurological, but the truth is:
 Most concussions involve some degree of cervical trauma.

Whether it’s a fall, sports injury, whiplash, or head impact, these events can cause:

  • Ligamentous instability, especially at C0–C1–C2
  • Joint misalignment that disrupts sensory input
  • Strain on the brainstem or vagus nerve
  • Secondary symptoms that look like post-concussion syndrome

Without proper neck imaging, these issues are easily missed, and patients get stuck in rehab cycles that don’t address the root cause.

DMX: The Missing Piece After Concussion

Digital Motion X-Ray (DMX) captures the cervical spine in real-time motion.
 It records 30 frames per second as you gently move your neck revealing instability that static MRIs or CTs simply can’t detect.

DMX can identify:

  • Abnormal motion between vertebrae
  • Upper cervical instability at the atlas/axis (C1–C2)
  • Alar and transverse ligament damage
  • Vertebral subluxation and shifting during rotation or flexion

This is often the real cause of your symptoms, especially if you’ve been told your brain scan is “normal.”

Symptoms That May Indicate Neck-Based Post-Concussion Syndrome

If any of these persist after a concussion, you may have cervical instability:

  • Dizziness, vertigo, or lightheadedness
  • Visual disturbance or eye tracking issues
  • Tinnitus or ear pressure
  • Head pressure, brain fog, or cognitive issues
  • Balance problems or spatial disorientation
  • Anxiety, nausea, or vagal symptoms
  • Clicking or popping with neck motion

Who Should Get a DMX After Concussion?

You’re a candidate for DMX if you:

  • Still have symptoms months after a concussion
  • Have had multiple head injuries or whiplash
  • Feel worse with head motion, rotation, or posture changes
  • Have tried vestibular rehab, PT, or chiropractic with no results
  • Are an athlete or active individual looking for long-term stability
  • Want objective proof of instability for treatment planning or legal purposes
