Chronic back pain can make daily activities uncomfortable or even impossible and can keep you from enjoying activities you once loved. On top of this, many traditional treatments like physical therapy require you to travel to a doctor’s office several times per week to work on muscle strengthening and flexibility with the aim of improving chronic pain.
Now, with the MedX at-home device, you can receive targeted spinal care that is proven to work from the comfort of your own living room. Take a look at this guide to learn more about what MedX is, why it’s different from traditional devices for back pain and how you can get started using it from home.
What Is MedX and How Does It Work?
The MedX machine is a medical-grade device developed to strengthen the deep stabilizing muscles of the spine – muscles that are nearly impossible to target with standard gym equipment. One major downfall with standard gym equipment and even most physical therapy activities for back pain is that they do not isolate these deep lumbar muscles. This allows other muscle groups to compensate for weakened lumbar muscles, which does not solve the underlying issue and can ultimately make matters worse.
MedX, on the other hand, uses a patented restraint system that isolates the stabilizing lumbar muscles to ensure that the right muscles are engaged. Thus, by performing slow, controlled movements under precise resistance, MedX users can safely rebuild strength, improve mobility and restore proper spinal function.
Benefits of MedX for Lower Back Pain
Being able to use the MedX device from the comfort of your own home allows for consistent progress that’s easy to fit into your busy schedule. Some of the key benefits include:
- Targeted pain relief. By directly addressing weak spinal muscles, MedX helps to significantly improve the underlying causes of chronic lower back pain.
- Improved posture and function. A stronger spine translates into better alignment, mobility and day-to-day comfort.
- Evidence-based results. MedX technology is backed by decades of clinical research and use in spine care centers across the country.
- Convenience and consistency. Having the machine at home makes it easier to keep up with your strengthening program without frequent clinic visits.
Who Can Benefit from MedX at Home?
MedX is designed for a wide range of people who struggle with chronic lower back pain, including:
- Those who are recovering from spinal injuries or surgery.
- Athletes who have injured their spine or surrounding muscles.
- Those struggling with chronic lower back or neck pain and have not seen success with other therapies.
- Adults experiencing age-related spinal weakness or mobility issues.
Because the MedX device is designed to isolate and safely strengthen the spine, it can be used by people at different fitness levels, from those just beginning rehabilitation to athletes looking to recover from injuries.
