I only had a normal x-ray scan of my spine. Could an MRI show more?

The symptoms I have are pressure feeling and 'neck nausea' that both come with overstimulation.

My neck MRI was negative. But I strongly believe my neck is the cause of some of the symptoms I have. My chiropracor told me I have atlas subluxation inspite of normal MRI. XRAY of neck came back normal except loss of cervical lordosis due to muscle spasms. My PT says neck muscles and tinnitus aren't related. Duh! And she says that I don't have subluxation either after looking at my XRAY. So things are pretty messed up and I don't know whom to believe. At present I am doing neck stretches and neck exercises. Lets see how things turn out to be

A neck MRI is useless unless you have both an expert to read it who believes the cervical vertebra can become subluxated and a therapist or chiropractor who can treat that. Most PT's cannot help you.

There are some PT's and chiro's who can manually detect problems.

Upper cervical chiros do their own specialized X-rays to see the misalignment.

Would you say that a MRI is useless, when an x-ray was already done?

The imaging process is not the issue. The skills of the person who reads the image and the skills of the person who treats the injury are what matters.

You have to find someone who takes an interest in your upper neck.

Where are you ? Maybe we can do some online searching for a specialist near you.
