Med-X Cervical & Lumbar Extension

Med-X Medical Equipment is the “Gold Standard” for lumbar and cervical testing and rehabilitation. Studies have shown that Med-X can reduce surgeries and eliminate back pain! The Med-X Medical Lumbar has been featured in over 60 medical journals and is considered the premier lumbar testing and rehabilitation device.

The Med-X machines have been clinically proven to be extremely effective in the treatment of chronic back and neck pain. While many physical therapy providers have “low back” or “neck” exercise machines that claim to strengthen the back and neck muscles, clinical research has proven that these machines actually strengthen the hamstrings and gluteus muscles or the upper back and shoulder muscles instead. The Med-X machines allow our therapists to test both a patient’s existing muscle strength and conditioning, and help him or her recondition their muscles–both in their lower spine and/or their cervical spine. These are highly advanced tools not normally found in most spinal rehabilitation settings.

 

Cervical Extension

  • Proven solution for patients who suffer from neck pain and/or headaches

  • Highly reliable for cervical extension strength testing and dynamic variable resistance training

  • Isometric testing can be performed every 3° through the normal 126° range of motion

Lumbar Extension

  • Provides resistance over a full range of isolated lumbar motion, or over a selected limited range

  • Isometric testing may occur every 3° within a patient’s range of motion

  • MedX software plots a strength curve to compare the patient’s strength and range of motion to established norms

  • Stored energy can be assessed and factored out at each angle tested
