Appendix A: GINA’S CASE – A CLASSIC EXAMPLE OF HOW DMX & MULTIPLE POSITION MRI CAN ESTABLISH
PERMANENT LIGAMENTOUS DAMAGE
Serious ligamentous injuries have been dismissed as “soft tissue sprain/strain” injuries of minimal consequence because of the lack
of objective proof.
We now have that proof of the ligamentous damage!!! DMX provides that objective proof.
We also now have objective proof of accelerated degeneration resulting from ligamentous laxity!!!
Gina’s Case is a classic example.
BEFORE DMX:
• Gina was a 14-year-old girl who sustained a whiplash injury.
• After 2 years of treatment, by DC, MD, PT and Massage ($32,000.00), she continues to experience major pain and disability.
• The MRI was “unremarkable” in all aspects.
• The Chiropractic diagnosis was “sprain/strain.”
• The MD diagnosis was “ligamentous injury” with no objective proof.
• The offer of settlement was only $2,000.00 more than the medical bills.
