For Attorneys: Your Strategic Partner in Properly Diagnosing Ligament Injuries from Car Accidents

Why Your Clients Aren’t Getting Better—And What To Do About It

In personal injury cases, undiagnosed injuries can lead to stalled recoveries, questionable care plans, and weaker legal outcomes. At Discover Life Chiropractic, we specialize in identifying what’s often missed: ligament damage to the cervical spine—the root cause of over 90% of symptoms seen in motor vehicle collisions.
 
If your client:
- Has been in care for weeks or months with little improvement
- Presents with symptoms that don’t match the MRI findings
- Has no evidence of a disc herniation or fracture—but still suffers
 
You’re likely dealing with a ligament injury that has not been properly diagnosed. That’s our specialty.

The Real Problem: Missed Ligamentous Instability

Standard imaging (MRI and static X-rays) often fails to detect injury to the ligaments that stabilize the spine—especially in the upper cervical region. Yet these soft tissue structures, when damaged, cause:
 
- Headaches
- Neck and back pain
- Dizziness
- Concentration or memory issues
- Radiating pain and more
 
These injuries are invisible on standard films—but unmistakable when tested correctly.

Oury Analysis

At Discover Life Chiropractic, we utilize Medical Metrics SpineCamp™ technology, an industry-leading AI and radiographic measurement system that pinpoints:
 
- The exact location of ligament injury
- The degree of instability (measured in mm of excessive motion)
- The appropriate treatment protocols based on AMA and Croft Guidelines
 
This level of precision allows us to:
- Give your client an objective diagnosis backed by medical-grade analysis
- Build a proper care plan that aligns with evidence-based duration and frequency of treatment
- Provide documentation that strengthens the legitimacy of your PI case
