Regular X-Rays are like typewriters

We don't use typewriters any more for a reason....we have something better:  the computer.  Computers are easier, quicker, better and fits today's technology....so why use yesterday's technology when it comes to your health?
The X-Ray you have done can make all the difference in your treatment!!
Digital Motion X-Ray makes all the difference to you!!

According to Dr. Sutton, Premier Back Rehabilitation Center, PC:

Digital Motion X-Ray is simply a 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.
DMX is a digital movie of an x-ray in motion and it can be:
* Printed and emailed as "still" x-rays;
* Stored on a hard drive;
* Recorded on DVD.
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.

I will tell you this last Saturday I ended up in the ER and had to have the "old way" of X-Rays.  Hold your breath.....OUCH!  When the results came back....multiple rib fractures.  Okay, it is hard enough to breath let alone hold your breath!!  My request to Dr. Sutton is to be available to me 24 hours a day 7 days a week because I am obviously very clumsy and NEVER want to hold my breath again for X-Rays!!!
