VMA CENTERS OF TEXAS

Vertebral Motion Analysis (VMA) is an innovative, breakthrough imaging technique that has vastly improved the diagnostic accuracy of the standard X-ray. As opposed to older, less effective methods of diagnosing problems in the spine and neck, the VMA provides the first functional test that allows assessment of spinal motion for instability. This imaging technique provides a video X-ray of your spine in various bent positions so as to detect abnormalities, such as a slipped vertebral disk, within the vertebrae. The VMA is particularly useful when trying to observe spinal instabilities that may not be visible with still X-rays. VMA testing can provide more accurate diagnoses of back and neck pain by showing real-time images of these areas in the process of bending, making it easier to observe inconsistencies in the lumbar spine and cervical spine.
