MULTIFIDUS MUSCLE STIMULATION

This advanced pain management treatment involves placing small electrodes into the muscles of the lower back, the multifidus muscle, which supports the spine. The electrodes deliver electrical impulses directly to the nerves of these muscles, which, help to muscle restore strength and function, thereby alleviating chronic refractory mechanical low back pain. 

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 muscles, which are the largest stabilising muscle in the back.

Restorative Multifidus Stimulation uses a cutting-edge device that offer targeted stimulation to the multifidus muscles, aiding in their activation, strengthening and restoration.

By precisely delivering electrical pulses to these muscles, the neurostimulator encourages muscle reconditioning and stability, addressing the root cause of spinal instability and chronic pain resulting from multifidus dysfunction. 

This innovative approach aims to restore function and alleviate discomfort by enhancing the supportive role of the multifidus muscles. 

Patients undergoing this therapy may experience improved spinal control, reduced pain, and enhanced mobility, leading to a more active and pain-free lifestyle.
