What sort of results does MedX® treatment produce?
Several studies have documented outcomes for groups of chronic
low back pain patients treated using intensive specific exercise
using a firm pelvic stabilisation (MedX® Lumbar Extensor Machine).
Risch's study (SPINE 1993) reported that specific exercise
for isolated lumbar extensor muscles substantially increased
low-back strength in chronic low back pain patients versus
a wait-listed control group. Additionally, increased strength
was associated with perceived improvements in physical and
psychosocial functioning.

Nelson et al. (unpublished) reported that 76% of patients
completing the treatment programme had excellent or good results
(definition: "both substantial pain relief and substantial
improvement in strength")
