What is a DMX Digital Motion X-Ray Test?<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/strong>(DMX) Digital Motion X-ray is an innovative diagnostic technology that can help diagnose painful conditions that are often<\/strong> undetectable by non-weight bearing, motionless static x-rays, MRIs, and\/or CT Scans,\u00a0 MRI\u2019s<\/strong> (magnetic resonance imaging).<\/p>\n

This advanced diagnostic creates a digital video of the actual joint or body part in motion to test the ligaments for stability and function.<\/strong> Ligaments connect bones together to form a joint and have a function to prevent excessive motion between the bones when we move, providing stability to the joint. When ligaments are damaged it causes the joint to become unstable and excess motion to occur between the bones. This causes the unstable bones to cause pressure and irritation to nerves and blood vessels resulting in a variety of symptoms from pain to dizziness.<\/p>\n
