Eighty percent of adult Americans suffer from low back pain. It is the leading cause of work disability for people 45 years and under. After 14 years of continued research, the MedX Lumbar and the MedX Cervical machine were proven and perfected by independent study at the University of Florida. The MedX program will restore function in 85% of all cases of chronic low back pain in as little as 12 weeks.

 

How Does it Work?

Testing the strength of the muscles extending the lumbar and cervical spine requires total isolation.
In the Lumbar machine, if the pelvis is free to move, the measured strength level will be the result of forces produced by the hip and thighs as well as the back muscles.

In the Cervical machine, if the shoulders and back are free to move, the measured strength level will be the result of the shoulders and back as well as the cervical muscles. The sophisticated design of the MedX machines allows such isolation.

The effective amount of therapeutic exercise can be determined by measuring functional ability (strength, true range of motion and muscular endurance) accurately. Once the right amount of exercise is determined, the MedX machines are then used to perform dynamic exercise through a controlled range of motion. For the first time the patient is able to address the real cause of back pain and strengthen the deficient areas.


Amazing Results

• In a medical study that followed 38 people who were recommended for back surgery, after completing a 10 week program on the Medx back machines, only 3 needed surgery.
• MedX provides relief from more than 85% of all low back problems
• The best prevention of back pain and re-injury
• Improvement in functional ability
• Many patients achieve 100% gain in strength in as little as 12 weeks
• Computer generated data provides objectivity as well as reliability

Program Summary

This is an ongoing program that focuses on progression. The first six weeks consist of two exercise sessions per week. One exercise session per week is performed for the second six weeks. After this maintenance program of once every two to three weeks is recommended to maintain the strength gains and pain relief. Isometric strength testing is performed on weeks one, six and twelve to ensure that the participant is progressing satisfactorily.
