Based on breakthrough information from the newest scientifically proven research, our program offers back pain sufferers real relief – high tech strengthening exercise and quality Chiropractic care that target the exact muscles that have recently been identified as the source of most back pain.

If you are one of the millions who suffer from recurring back pain, and have found that your attempts at complicated and time-consuming exercise programs and treatments have not helped, our spinal rehabilitation program identifies weakness and strengthens the specific muscles that are at the root of your pain. You can be living free from pain, starting now!

If you were to review the back pain studies in peer-reviewed medical journals published over the past fifteen years, you would find that the research suggests that a specific set of muscles play a key role in the great majority of back pain incidences. The research shows that most back pain sufferers have underdeveloped multifidus muscles. These muscles connect the spinal vertebrae together and play a subtle, but critical, role in bending and twisting motions of the back. If they are weak, inflamed, or in spasm, they can cause chronic back pain.

In response to these findings, Back2Strength has devised a simple, progressive series of exercises using special equipment that focus on strengthening the multifidus muscles – and we have fabulous results in reducing or eliminating back pain for a variety of patients.

In the following video, Dr. Doug McGuff locates the multifidus muscles in the back, explains how they function and how they contribute to lower back pain when they are in spasm.

Back2Strength uses the MedX Medical Lumbar Spine machine (pictured above) to help us identify and then strengthen the underdeveloped multifidus muscles that may be the underlying cause of your pain.

The MedX Lumbar Spine machine required 14 years of research and development at an estimated cost of $40 million to perfect. What makes the MedX machine unique is the patented restraint system that “locks” the pelvis in place. This eliminates assistance from the larger and stronger muscles of the back, buttocks, hips and thighs and forces only the multifidus muscles to contract fully as the spine extends rearwards.

Watch how the pelvis is “locked” on the MedX Lumbar Spine Machine:
