When Neck Pain Is Actually a Brain Problem: The Neurological Impact of Ligament Instability

Connection between cervical instability and neurological problems

Neck pain isn’t always just about muscles or posture.
 In many cases, ligamentous instability in the cervical spine can directly affect the brain.

At DMX Miami, we’ve seen patients whose “mystery” neurological symptoms memory loss, mood swings, vision changes were linked to instability in the upper cervical spine.

The Neck-Brain Connection

Your upper neck houses:

  • The brainstem
  • Major blood vessels
  • Nerve pathways for vision, balance, and coordination

When ligaments are damaged:

  • Vertebrae can shift abnormally
  • Blood and cerebrospinal fluid flow can be disrupted
  • Brainstem compression may occur
  • Neurological symptoms may appear or worsen

DMX for Neurological Cases

DMX shows how your neck moves and whether that movement could be affecting your brain.
 It is often the missing link in complex neurological cases.
