MedX Therapy
Medical research shows that the majority of patients with chronic spinal pain are significantly deconditioned or have weak muscles, tendons and ligaments that support the spinal areas of the neck and lower back. Weakness of the musculature of the spine can lead to many conditions such as herniated discs, facet syndrome, and degenerative joint disease. A strong spine provides a strong foundation that allows for healthy spaces between the vertebrae, which helps prevent spinal compression.
To provide lasting relief from chronic neck and back pain, the spinal structures and supporting tissue must be actively reconditioned through isolated strengthening exercises. Until MedX developed their patented restraint systems, there was never an effective way to isolate and strengthen the muscles of the spine.
The goals of the MedX program include:
- Decrease pain levels
- Restore spinal function
- Improve quality of life and independence
Medically Proven Technology
MedX has the well-deserved reputation of being the Gold Standard of Treatment for reducing chronic back pain and dysfunction through specific spinal strengthening. Over the last 15 years the Universities of Florida and San Diego, along with various clinics around the nation, have published some of the most compelling research to date showing that specific spinal strengthening exercises, using the MedX Lumbar and Cervical Extension Machines, helps people get better after multiple failed attempts at other forms of treatment. With over 40 published articles in peer-reviewed journals, the proof lies in both the research and the testimonials of thousands of people around the world.
