Why Patients Need Digital Motion X-Ray (DMX)
 You are sitting at a red light waiting for it to change. All of a sudden, you hear the sound of screeching tires and a loud crash. Your car jolts forward and your neck whips backward then forward in a violent motion. You are now experiencing some dizziness, headaches, neck, shoulder, and/or upper back pain. Maybe even pain between the shoulder blades or numbness and tingling down the arms to the hands. You are experiencing headaches and pain and stiffness in your neck. You go to your doctor complaining of neck pain and headache, so he takes several static x-rays which, of course, are negative because they are taken for three main reasons: to rule out fractures, gross dislocations, and tumors. Good news, you didn’t break or dislocate your neck and you don’t have any tumors, but you still have headaches and neck pain. Next, they do an MRI of your neck and it comes out negative. Your MRI was negative because MRI looks at discs, but there are no discs in the upper 30 percent of your neck or in the back of your neck where these types of pain can originate. So the doctor sends you home with some pain medication but no definitive diagnosis. Your pain persists but no one can tell you why, and the insurance company over time stops paying your medical bills because there is no proof of your injury.
If this scenario sounds all too familiar, you should have a digital motion x-ray of your cervical spine. Digital Motion X-Ray (DMX) uses advanced technology to detect ligament injuries that could never be seen before because of the lack of motion. Static x-rays, MRI and CT commonly miss injuries because you don't or can't move for the exam. Digital motion x-ray is just the opposite. It can find injuries that are evident only when you move. If your pain increases with movement, common sense tells you that your injuries should be examined "in motion." If you are in pain after an accident and no one can tell you why, digital motion x-ray may hold the answer you are looking for.
Insurance companies will pay for the care you deserve as long as you are able to prove you are injured. Unfortunately, you will probably need care years into the future because these injuries are permanent.

Why Doctors Need Digital Motion X-Ray (DMX)
 Until now, it has been extremely difficult for doctors to diagnose ligamentous injuries because standard x-ray, MRI, and CT do not show these types of injuries. Therefore, they are often overlooked and the patient doesn't receive the correct or most effective treatment. The patient may also receive treatment that inhibits the natural healing process and possible even making the injury more severe. Their symptoms continue or even become worse.
It is important to know that there are two different types of ligament injuries. One is called a complete failure, or “tear,” and the other is a sub-failure, which is a stretching of the ligament. Loose ligaments can only be demonstrated through a motion imaging procedure. That is why DMX can reveal these sub-failure ligament injuries in as little as 15 minutes, allowing the doctor to specifically determine which ligaments are injured.
Digital Motion X-Ray (DMX) helps doctors make a fast and accurate diagnosis for patients with ligament damage. This will allow for the prescription of the appropriate treatment for the patient. In addition, Digital Motion X-Ray allows doctors to:
- Make the most informed and reliable diagnosis
- Provide proof of injury
- Increase patient compliance and understanding
- Detect ligament injuries objectively
- Substantiate patient care
Our DMX system can confirm your diagnosis, make sure you don't overlook any injuries not detected by other tests, prescribe your patient the correct care, and prove why you are administering treatment. Contact us today to learn more about what Digital Motion X-Ray technology can do for you.
