Advanced Chiropractic & Spinal Care for Auto Injuries in New Mexico
At Root and Stem Chiropractic, we go beyond basic injury care—we focus on helping you heal fully and regain a better quality of life. A key part of our approach is Computerized Radiographic Mensuration Analysis (CRMA™) from Spinal Kinetics, a specialized diagnostic tool that no other provider in New Mexico offers. This advanced technology ensures that hidden spinal injuries don’t go undetected, allowing us to provide the precise spinal care you need for recovery and long-term wellness. ​
What is CRMA™?
​​
CRMA™ (Computerized Radiographic Mensuration Analysis) is an FDA-cleared diagnostic tool that detects spinal ligament injuries—a common but often overlooked consequence of car accidents, whiplash, and spinal trauma. Unlike MRIs, which primarily detect disc injuries, CRMA™ identifies excessive joint motion and ligament instability, providing clear, measurable data on spinal health.
​
Why is CRMA™ Essential for Auto Injury Care?
Many auto accident injuries are missed in standard exams, leading to chronic pain, stiffness, headaches, and long-term discomfort.​
At Root and Stem Chiropractic, we are the only provider in New Mexico utilizing Spinal Kinetics CRMA™ technology, allowing us to:
✅ Detect Hidden Spinal Injuries – Standard X-rays and MRIs often miss ligament injuries, but CRMA™ reveals the exact severity and location of the damage.
​
✅ Provide Precise Spinal Care Plans – With detailed diagnostic data, we create individualized chiropractic care plans to restore spinal function and overall well-being.
​
✅ Strengthen Insurance & Legal Claims – CRMA™ delivers objective medical documentation to support **personal injury cases and insurance claims**.

Beyond Injury Care: Restoring Your Quality of Life
At Root and Stem Chiropractic, we don’t just focus on recovering from an injury—we help you reclaim your full mobility, strength, and quality of life. Once your spine has healed from an accident, ongoing wellness care can keep you functioning at your best. Many of our patients continue care after their auto injury recovery to prevent future issues, maintain spinal health, and stay active for years to come.
Who Should Get CRMA™ Testing?
​
​If you've been in a car accident, suffered a sports injury, or are experiencing ongoing neck or back pain, CRMA™ testing can uncover undiagnosed spinal ligament damage.
Signs you may have ligament instability include:
👉 Persistent Neck or Back Pain
👉 Headaches or Migraines
👉 Stiffness or Reduced Mobility
👉 Muscle Weakness or Numbness
👉 Dizziness or Balance Issues
Additional Proven Benefits for Whiplash & Other Neck Injuries
Chiropractic corrective care provides significant relief for neck pain caused by whiplash injuries and other trauma to the cervical spine. Through specific chiropractic adjustments, we work to restore proper biomechanics, remove neurological interference, and encourage optimal healing.
Key results include:
​
Decreased Neck Pain: Precise adjustments help alleviate pressure on nerves, reducing pain.
Improved Range of Motion: Gentle, targeted care restores flexibility and mobility to the cervical spine.
Reduced Muscle Spasm & Inflammation: By relieving tension in the spinal joints and muscles, inflammation and spasms naturally subside.
Less Numbness & Tingling: Correcting nerve impingements in the neck can alleviate symptoms that radiate into the arms and hands.
Restored Postural Imbalances: Realigning the spine promotes better posture, preventing future strain.
Reduced Medical Costs: Conservative care often leads to fewer healthcare expenses compared to more invasive procedures.
Decreased Reliance on Medication: Addressing the source of pain can minimize or eliminate the need for pain relievers.
