MedX equipment, considered the gold standard for isolated spinal strengthening, allows individuals to safely and effectively isolate muscles in the neck and back.

It allows patients to slowly change painful movements and desensitize the nervous system. MedX equipment also provides objective data on a patient’s strength and range of motion improvement which are two excellent indicators of improved function.

The team at MedX Back Pain Clinics have found that our patient’s bodies respond favorably to weight training, building stronger muscle, joint and bone tissues, decreasing chronic pain.

MedX Program Goals

• Increase Flexibility
• Increase Strength
• Improve Function
• Decrease Pain

Many patients continue with our Maintenance Programs after their therapy sessions in order to retain their functional and strength improvements.

What is MedX Rehabilitation Program?

MedX rehabilitation is a specific machine-based rehab program. It is designed for either neck related issues or lower back complaints. MedX is able to objectively track progress in weight and range of motion. In a typical MedX session, the patient is able to perform 15 – 20 repetitions. This will induce a tolerable fatigue into the muscles in the targeted area. If a patient is unable to perform 15 – 20 reps then the weight or range of motion needs to be reduced. MedX allows the patient to increase by intervals of 3 lbs which provides the micro increments necessary to continue achieving muscular strength improvements.

The primary goal of this rehab program is to increase range of motion, increase muscular strength, decrease pain, and return the patient to normal function. The gold standard for the MedX protocol is to be performed 2x per week for 8 weeks but many patients see significant improvement before this bench mark. This allows the area of dysfunction to undergo muscular hypertrophy (strength/size increase).

MedX Therapy and Rehabilitation: Who can benefit from MedX?

According to the National Institutes of Health, lower back and neck pain is one of the most prevalent chronic conditions in the United States, affecting more than 30% of working Americans.

MedX physical therapy with MedX equipment offers a non-surgical approach to alleviating lower back and neck pain. Specially trained physical therapists safely stabilize the torso to isolate and strengthen the muscles supporting the spine.

With more than 30 clinical trials and published research studies and more than 100,000 patients treated, the MedX equipment is one of the most well-documented and frequently researched pieces of clinical rehabilitation equipment worldwide.
