Could Digital Motion X‑Ray (DMX) Explain Your Chronic Neck Pain in Miami?

Are you still in pain after multiple doctor visits, normal MRIs, and no clear diagnosis?
 If you’re dealing with chronic neck pain, dizziness, headaches, or neurological symptoms and haven’t found relief it’s time to consider what traditional imaging might be missing.

At DMX Miami, we specialize in uncovering the root cause of persistent symptoms using Digital Motion X‑Ray (DMX) a powerful diagnostic tool that reveals hidden ligament damage and joint instability that static X-rays, MRIs, and CT scans often miss.

Why You Still Hurt — Even After a “Normal” MRI

Ligamentous instability, especially in the upper cervical spine (C0-C1-C2), can cause a cascade of neurological symptoms:

  • Chronic neck pain or stiffness
  • Head pressure or fogginess
  • Dizziness or imbalance
  • Tingling or numbness in arms or hands
  • Sensations of “cracking” or “clicking” when turning your head

Traditional imaging captures the spine in a static position but real life happens in motion. DMX captures your spine while moving, allowing us to visualize instability in real time.

What Is Digital Motion X‑Ray (DMX)?

Digital X-ray images showing the neck in motion, highlighting how Digital Motion X-Ray (DMX) captures dynamic cervical spine movement to detect hidden instability.

DMX is a dynamic, low-radiation imaging study that records 30 real-time X-ray frames per second as you move your neck through specific guided positions.

We evaluate:

  • Alar and transverse ligament function
  • Atlas (C1) and Axis (C2) stability
  • Segmental motion throughout the cervical spine
  • Evidence of ligament laxity, subluxation, or joint misalignment

This test is essential for patients who feel “something isn’t right” but haven’t been given a clear explanation.

Planning Stem Cell, PRP, or Regenerative Treatment? Start Here.

If you’re considering regenerative injections like PRP or stem cell therapy, it’s critical to identify which ligaments are unstable and to confirm you’re a good candidate.

DMX allows your doctor or regenerative specialist to:

  • Accurately target the right ligaments
  • Avoid wasted injections in healthy tissue
  • Track improvement pre- and post-treatment

We frequently perform DMX evaluations for patients planning care at Centeno-Schultz Clinic in Colorado, Regenexx, and other regenerative centers.
