For Attorneys

Clarity in Motion. Power in Proof.

In personal injury litigation, cases are won on what can be proven and seen. VMA® (Vertebral Motion Analysis) makes invisible spine injuries visible through dynamic, real-time motion imaging. It measures how each vertebra moves under stress, revealing ligament damage and spinal instability — clear evidence of serious, permanent injury. This objective, visual proof raises the defendant’s risk at trial, forces carriers to reassess exposure, and drives meaningful settlement discussions. It’s not theory, it’s physics — backed by medical science and validated by the AMA Guides.

Why Traditional Imaging Falls Short

  • MRIs and X-rays are static; they show the spine at rest, not how it fails under stress.
  • Ligament injuries, the true source of instability, remain unseen without motion.
  • Result: Injuries go under-documented, claims get undervalued, and juries can’t visualize the harm, giving defense experts room to minimize or dismiss the injury.

VMA closes this gap by revealing objective, quantifiable spinal instability, proof that defines impairment.

How VMA® Technology Strengthens Your Case

Identify Permanency

Spinal ligament injuries are lifelong impairments, representing up to 25% whole person
impairment under the AMA Guides. VMA objectively proves permanency and ends disputes over pain or
exaggeration.

Document Causation

Motion-based data directly links trauma to structural instability, countering pre-existing
condition defenses.

Improve Case Value

Without objective proof, soft-tissue cases can lose a significant percentage of their value.

Accelerate Outcomes

Clear, visual evidence drives faster resolutions, often reaching policy limits faster, because carriers know your case is built to win.
