Chiropractic Care for Neck and Back Pain, With Objective Measurement After Trauma

Dr. Jordan Moore is a chiropractor who evaluates whiplash and suspected spinal ligament injury by measuring motion between vertebrae on flexion and extension X-rays in Symverta. His fellowship training covered the diagnosis, prognosis, and treatment of spinal ligament injury in depth.

Clinical Focus

Spinal Ligament Laxity After Trauma

Ligaments hold the vertebrae together. When they are stretched or torn in a collision or fall, the vertebrae they support can move more than they should.

What It Is

Ligament laxity means a spinal ligament has become looser than normal after injury, allowing extra motion between two vertebrae. It may not be obvious on a still X-ray, which is one reason it can be overlooked.

How It Is Measured

Flexion and extension X-rays are digitized in Symverta, which measures translation and angular motion at each spinal level. The numbers are compared with published reference values, so the finding rests on measurement.

What the Training Covers

Dr. Moore's fellowship coursework addressed diagnosis, prognosis, and treatment planning for spinal ligament injury, including digital analysis of the cervical, lumbar, and full spine.

How an Evaluation Works

Care plans are individualized, and no particular outcome can be guaranteed.

Why Choose Dr. Moore

Diagnostic Precision Meets Clinical Depth

Not every chiropractor has the same training, tools, or clinical experience. Here is what sets this practice apart.

X-Ray Digitization With Symverta

Computerized measurement of flexion and extension X-rays gives numerical values for translation and angular motion at each spinal level, which helps show whether a ligament may be lax or injured.

Fellowship-Trained Spine Specialist

The FPSC fellowship (Cleveland University / SUNY Jacobs) is a two-year post-doctoral program with advanced training in spinal trauma, imaging, biomechanics, and the diagnosis, prognosis, and treatment of ligament injury.

NIH-Published Research

Dr. Moore's research has been published through the National Institutes of Health, grounding his clinical approach in peer-reviewed evidence rather than opinion.

Certified Independent Chiropractic Examiner

The CICE credential reflects specialized training and examination in independent medical evaluation and AMA Guides impairment rating methodology.

Advanced Therapeutic Equipment

Duolith SD1 Ultra shockwave therapy, Aspen Class 4 laser, computerized spinal decompression, and ArthroStim instrumented adjusting, therapies backed by clinical evidence.

Forensic & Expert Witness Qualified

With CICE, MACIME, and CPIS credentials, Dr. Moore is qualified to provide expert opinions in injury cases, bringing the same clinical rigor to documentation as to treatment.

Clinical Services

Comprehensive Spinal & Injury Care

From acute trauma evaluation to long-term rehabilitation, our services are calibrated for complex, injury-related cases.

Diagnostic

X-Ray Digitization (Symverta)

Computerized measurement of flexion and extension X-rays to quantify translation and angular motion between vertebrae and identify spinal ligament laxity.

Regenerative

Shockwave Therapy

Duolith SD1 Ultra radial and focused shockwave, used for chronic tendinopathy, heel pain, myofascial trigger points, and calcific conditions.

Photobiomodulation

Class 4 Laser Therapy

Aspen high-powered laser therapy for deep tissue penetration, used to help manage pain and inflammation without medication.

Decompression

Spinal Decompression

Computerized intersegmental decompression for disc herniation, radiculopathy, and degenerative disc disease, a conservative, non-surgical option for appropriately selected patients.

Instrumented

ArthroStim Adjusting

High-velocity, low-amplitude mechanical adjusting instrument, precise neurological input without the manual thrust, ideal for post-trauma and sensitive patients.

Manual Therapy

Chiropractic Adjustments

Evidence-based spinal and extremity manipulation to restore joint motion, reduce pain, and normalize neurological function following injury or chronic dysfunction.

Soft Tissue

Kinesiology Taping

Therapeutic elastic tape application for proprioceptive support, lymphatic drainage, and joint stability during the rehabilitation phase of injury recovery.

Rehabilitation

Therapeutic Exercise & Rehab

Structured therapeutic exercise and functional rehabilitation designed to restore strength, stability, and range of motion following musculoskeletal injury.

Diagnostic, Selective

Digital Motion X-Ray

Fluoroscopic imaging that records spinal motion in real time. Mobile's only Digital Motion X-Ray is used selectively, for significant spinal trauma.
