If you’ve been searching for real relief from persistent lower back pain, you’re not alone. Around one in four American adults experience low back discomfort at any given time, and for many, it becomes a long-term obstacle to mobility, work and overall well-being. While there are many traditional options that have historically been recommended for lower back pain, recent research shows that many of these options simply do not work.
Fortunately, there is a science-backed solution for lower back pain that has been proven to actually work: MedX. The MedX lumbar extension device can be used from the comfort of your own home to isolate and strengthen the lumbar spine, safely and effectively helping to manage lower back pain.
Why Many Traditional Back Pain Solutions Don’t Work
According to a review of research recently published in BMJ Evidence-Based Medicine, only 1 in 10 non-surgical approaches for lower back pain have been shown to be effective. Among the common methods that did not improve back pain include:
- Acetaminophen
- Acupuncture
- Cannabinoids
- Massage
- Muscle relaxants
- Opioids
The few traditional solutions that did improve back pain included NASIDs (nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs) like ibuprofen and aspirin, antidepressants, and spinal manipulation from a chiropractor. Still, these methods only offer some improvement to lower back pain symptoms and often do not result in long-term relief.
What Makes MedX Different?
Most people with low back pain have weakness or asymmetry in the muscles responsible for stabilizing and supporting the spine, thus resulting in pain and discomfort when these muscles cannot provide the necessary support. Because of this, the best rehabilitation techniques to do for low back pain are those that isolate and gradually strengthen these spinal support muscles. This is where the MedX back machine comes in.
MedX is an advanced, medical-grade strengthening and extension device for the lumbar spine that is backed by peer-reviewed research. It works by isolating the lumbar spine by stabilizing the pelvis and preventing other muscle groups from compensating. This allows for targeted movement and strengthening of the lower back, providing a safe and effective way to target the exact muscles that are typically weakened in those with chronic or recurring back pain.
Even better still, the MedX back machine can be delivered directly to your home to help ensure consistent use and progress without the need to schedule appointments or drive to a doctor’s office. Over time, you should notice gradual and significant improvements in lower back pain, and the MedX device can be adjusted according to your body’s changing needs and renewed strength and flexibility.
