Have you been told your MRI or CT scan is normal — but you still feel dizzy, off-balance, or foggy-headed?
If your symptoms don’t match your imaging, you’re not alone. Many patients in South Florida suffer from unexplained headaches, balance issues, or neurological symptoms that may be caused by upper cervical ligament instability — something traditional scans often miss.
At DMX Miami, we use Digital Motion X-Ray (DMX) to identify hidden spinal instability in real time, especially at the C0–C1–C2 level — where the brainstem, spinal cord, and upper cervical ligaments interact.
Common Symptoms of Undiagnosed Cervical Instability
If you experience any of these symptoms without a clear diagnosis, your neck may be the hidden cause:
- Persistent or episodic headaches
- Dizziness or lightheadedness
- Brain fog or trouble concentrating
- Eye pressure or visual disturbances
- Neck tightness or cracking with movement
- Unexplained fatigue or “off” feeling
These are often signs of mechanical instability at the craniocervical junction — not nerve compression or disc herniation. Most MRIs miss it because they’re taken in a fixed, non-weightbearing position.
DMX Shows What Static Imaging Can’t
Digital Motion X-Ray is a dynamic test that captures 30 X-ray frames per second as you move through guided positions. It’s the gold standard for revealing:
- Excessive movement of the atlas (C1) and axis (C2)
- Alar or transverse ligament laxity
- Abnormal coupling patterns or segmental instability
- Hidden causes of symptoms after trauma (e.g., whiplash, concussion)
Unlike an MRI, DMX shows your cervical spine under actual motion and load, replicating what happens when you turn your head, bend, or look up.

Planning a Regenerative Procedure?
DMX is often required before PRP, stem cell, or prolotherapy to confirm instability and determine the most effective treatment plan. Without it, injections may miss the true source of the problem.
