Most Common Misdiagnosed Ligament Injuries in the Neck (AKA) Cervical Instability and Injury.
Did you know…. the TOP 30% of the cervical spine is not properly analyzed by non weight bearing motionless static X-rays, MRIs, or CT scans?
Most Common Misdiagnosed Ligament Injuries in the Neck (AKA) Cervical Instability and Injury – innovative diagnostic technology
This is the area of the cervical spine between the skull (C0), 1st cervical vertebrae call atlas (C1),
and the 2nd vertebrae called axis (C2).
Did you know….there are NO spinal discs and only ligaments between the skull (C0), 1st cervical vertebrae called atlas (C1), and the 2nd vertebrae called axis (C2)?
These small ligaments stabilize and hold the upper cervical spinal joints together preventing excessive motion between the skull (C0), 1st cervical vertebrae atlas (C1),and the 2nd vertebrae axis (C2).
Did you know….. the joints that make up the top 30% of the cervical spine between the skull (C0), 1st cervical vertebrae call atlas (C1),
and the 2nd vertebrae called axis (C2) are responsible for 50% of the cervical flexion and rotation?
The function of a cervical ligament is to stabilize and prevent excessive motion between the spinal bones when we move. If there is excessive motion between the spinal bones this indicates ligament damage, injury, and laxity.

Did you know….. you can not properly test the function of a cervical ligament without movement of the spinal joint?
What is the best weight bearing motion based study to analyze the 22 major ligaments in the spine?
DMX (Digital Motion X-ray) is an image-intensified fluoroscopic x-ray system that allows the doctor or clinician to perform weight bearing x-rays on a patient while moving the joint or body part.
The digital motion x-ray makes a digital video of the actual joint or body part in motion (spine, hip, knee, ankle, foot, shoulder, elbow, wrist, hand, and TMJ).
DMX motion x-rays are analyzed with Computerized Radiographic Mensuration Analysis (CRMA) to achieve accurate measures and to determine the extent of the injury.
DMX is an innovative diagnostic technology that can help diagnose painful conditions that are often undetectable by motionless static x-rays, MRIs, and/or CT Scans, MRI’s (magnetic resonance imaging).
