Objective Testing for Spinal Function and Soft Tissue Injuries
What is DynaROM?
DynaROM is an advanced diagnostic assessment that measures spinal range of motion and muscle activity simultaneously, providing objective data about how your body moves and responds to pain. Using specialized sensors, the test measures both your range of motion and your body's natural muscle guarding response.
Because pain often occurs during movement rather than while standing still, DynaROM provides valuable information that traditional static imaging may miss. The results help identify soft tissue injuries, movement restrictions, and functional limitations while providing objective data to track recovery over time.
How DynaROM Works
During the assessment, sensors are placed on the skin to measure spinal movement and muscle activity as you perform a series of simple movements.
The test evaluates:
- Range of motion
- Muscle guarding
- Spinal function
- Movement quality
- Functional limitations
The assessment is completely non-invasive, painless, and typically takes less than an hour to complete.

What to Expect During Your Evaluation
Your appointment begins with a consultation and health history review. Small sensors are then placed on your back and neck while you perform a series of guided movements within your comfort level.
The system records how your muscles respond and how your spine moves, creating a detailed report that helps our team better understand your condition and develop a personalized treatment plan.
