Digital Motion X-ray Reveals Hidden Damage; now available in Vestavia Hills

Vestavia Hills Chiropractor Dr. Mark N. Berry, a chiropractor focusing on finding the true cause of your health problems is now providing Digital Motion X-ray (DMX) in Vestavia Hills, AL. 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 DMX system can produce 2,700 x-ray images with the same amount of radiation as a standard x-ray machine, which gives you 6 static x-rays. The procedure is performed with the patient standing and actively moving in a weight-bearing position within the system. DMX is a digital movie of x-ray in motion and a DVD copy is available for the patient.

Traditionally, diagnosis of 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.   

“The DMX is a motion based x-ray machine used in my office to find ligamentous injuries and fractures not commonly seen with static x-ray, CT, or MRI. It allows me see the injury in ways I have never seen before. Hidden injuries are revealed, helping me design a more effective treatment plan for my patient based on a more complete diagnosis.

Berry Chiropractic, P.C. is located at 1442 Hwy 31 in Vestavia Hills, AL and specializes in helping patients with scoliosis, neck pain, back pain, headaches, and those who have been involved in an auto accident.
