Digital Motion X-Ray (DMX) is simply a new type of fluoro-based x-ray system, coupled with new digital and optic technology, allowing clinicians to view the spine in real-time motion at 30 x-rays per second. The procedure is performed with the patient standing and actively moving in a weight-bearing position within the system. It is gentle, painless, non-claustrophobic, and has 30 times less radiation than other tests.

Signs and Symptoms of Injuries and Why you may need a DMX:

  • Headaches
  • Neck or back pain
  • Shoulder pain
  • Numbness and Tingling
  • Other tests negative
  • and more ...
  • Dizziness or Nausea
  • Loss of motion
  • Pain with motion
  • Muscle weakness
  • Continued pain after treatment

Traditionally, diagnosis of whiplash injuries rely upon non-moving diagnostic procedures, such as static x-rays, stress view x-rays, CT, and MRI. During these tests, patients are asked to stand or lie still: “Don’t move ” and/or “Hold your breath.” Patients hurt more when they move, and pain is commonly an indicator of injury. The majority of these non-moving diagnostic tests come out negative or unremarkable.
