A recent study followed the progress
of a group of 38 patients who had been recommended by their
doctor for surgery but first completed a course of treatment
using the MedX® Lumbar Extensor Machine. The

reported themselves to be "excellent" or "good"
and that 92% of the patients were able to avoid surgery.Nelson, Carpenter et al. Archives of Physical Medicine
