Is your pain mostly in your lower back?

Mechanical chronic low back pain is often caused by injury or overload of the tissues around the spine — ligaments, muscles, bones and joints. The underlying cause is frequently impaired neuromuscular control and inhibition of the multifidus — the most important stabilising muscle of your back.

In the video you will learn more about neuromuscular control, proprioception and the functions of your back muscles.

CLINICAL CUES

Find out whether you suffer from multifidus dysfunction

Do you frequently experience back pain, muscle cramps or a feeling of instability?

Do your symptoms get worse over time?

Do pain or cramps occur during small everyday tasks — brushing teeth, washing dishes, reaching?

Is a short forward bend already enough?

Does your pain get worse during prolonged sitting, standing or driving?

Do you need to change position or support yourself with your arms?

Is ReActiv8® right for you?

Could your back pain be caused by multifidus dysfunction?

Multifidus dysfunction can result from a loss of neuromuscular control. The consequence: missing stabilisation of the spine, uncontrolled load on discs and facet joints — and therefore mechanical chronic low back pain.

In the video you will learn more about multifidus dysfunction and the loss of neuromuscular control.

Treat the cause…

Restorative therapies aim to improve function and address the actual cause of the symptoms.

…not just the symptoms.

Palliative therapies block pain with spinal cord stimulation, medication, injections or nerve ablation — they do not treat the cause.

The ReActiv8® system is now whole-body MRI conditional

The US regulator FDA has cleared whole-body MRI conditional labelling for the ReActiv8® Restorative Neurostimulation system.

ReActiv8® implant in the lumbar region

ReActiv8® is implanted under the skin in a minimally invasive procedure.

  • A pulse generator is connected to two leads positioned to stimulate the nerves that control your multifidus muscle.
  • You control the therapy yourself: twice a day for 30 minutes — sessions feel like a deep tissue massage.
