Is Your Pain Mostly In Your Lower Back?
Mechanical chronic low back pain results from an injury or stress on the tissues surrounding the spine, including soft tissues, muscles, bones, and joints. Often times, this type of pain is due to impaired neuromuscular control and neural inhibition of the multifidus, which is the largest stabilizing muscle in your back.
Watch the video to learn more about neuromuscular control, proprioception, and various functions of your back muscles.
Clinical Cues
Find out if you have a condition called Multifidus Dysfunction
Do you have back pain, muscle spasms, or feelings of instability often?
Do they seem to be getting worse with time?
Do you experience back pain or spasms when doing small tasks like brushing teeth over a sink, washing dishes, or reaching for an item?
If you stay in a position for an extended period (sitting, standing, driving, etc.) does your back become increasingly painful?
Do you have to shift positions or support yourself with your arms because of this pain?
Could your back pain be due to Multifidus Dysfunction?
Multifidus Dysfunction can result from a loss of neuromuscular control. This can cause a lack of spinal support, leading to uncontrolled loading of spinal joints and discs, resulting in mechanical low back pain.
Watch the video to learn more about multifidus dysfunction and loss of neuromuscular control.
Treat the cause…
not the symptoms.
The ReActiv8 System is Now Full Body MRI Conditional
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has approved full-body MRI conditional labeling for the ReActiv8 Restorative Neurostimulation system.

"*" indicates required fields
Think Restorative Sooner
ReActiv8 is the first and only restorative treatment option for mechanical chronic low back pain as a result of multifidus dysfunction, and aims to restore the neuromuscular control between the brain and spine.
ReActiv8 is implanted underneath
the skin during a minimally-invasive
outpatient procedure.
- A generator is connected to two electrical leads, which are positioned to stimulate the nerves that control your multifidus muscle.
- You control your twice-daily, 30-minute therapy sessions, which can feel like a deep tissue massage.
Long-Term Clinical Outcomes
Pain and Function Improvements
9 out of 10 patients were “Definitely Satisfied” with ReActiv8.
8 out of 10 patients reported substantial (>50%) improvements in pain and/or function.
Opioid Reduction
7 out of 10 patients voluntarily eliminated or reduced their opioid intake*
*Patients that were on opioids at baseline: (1-year=31/65), (2-Year= 34/57), (3-Year= 36/51), (5-Year=36/52)
Clinical study data show that patients experience progressive long-term improvements in pain and function, over time, demonstrating a durable, consistent, and restorative result.*
