Have you felt off-balance, lightheaded, or unsteady on your feet but no one can find out why?
If you’ve had an MRI, CT scan, or even neurological testing and everything comes back “normal,” yet you still feel unstable, the problem may be coming from your neck, not your brain.
At DMX Miami, we specialize in diagnosing cervical ligament instability using Digital Motion X‑Ray (DMX) a powerful diagnostic tool that uncovers hidden causes of poor balance, coordination problems, and dizziness that are missed by traditional imaging.
Why the Neck Affects Balance and Coordination
The top of your cervical spine specifically C0–C1–C2 is one of the most neurologically dense regions in the body. It houses:
- The brainstem
- The vestibular system’s connections to the spine
- The vagus nerve
- Critical blood vessels to the brain
- The ligaments that hold your head and neck stable during movement
If those ligaments are damaged or unstable, you may experience:
- Difficulty with balance
- A feeling of “drifting” when walking
- Unsteadiness or poor spatial awareness
- Dizziness with head rotation
- Sensitivity to motion or environments
These symptoms are often not inner ear problems but instead, signs of mechanical instability at the top of the spine.
Why Traditional Imaging Can’t See the Problem
MRI and CT scans are taken while you’re lying flat and still. They don’t show how your neck functions only what it looks like at rest.
If your vertebrae are unstable, they may shift excessively during movement, especially at:
- C1–C2 (atlas-axis)
- C0–C1 (skull-atlas)
This movement can cause dynamic compression or irritation of nerves and vascular structures, leading to balance dysfunction that won’t appear on traditional scans.
What DMX Reveals
Digital Motion X‑Ray (DMX) captures real-time images of your cervical spine while you move.
It allows us to see:
- Vertebral misalignment with movement
- Ligament laxity in the upper cervical spine
- Abnormal joint motion that affects neurological function
- Real-time causes of dizziness, imbalance, and brain fog
DMX is often the first and only test that connects symptoms to a specific, observable instability
