Do you suffer with chronic disabling low back pain?
You may be eligible to trial a new therapy
This study is a collaborative project between the following groups
The Physiotherapy Department at the University of Queensland is a pioneer of innovative research aimed at understanding the complex and multidimensional nature of spinal pain. Paul Hodges is a professor of physiotherapy and a recognised leader in movement control, pain and rehabilitation. His research group will explore changes in the morphology of the multifidus muscle in response to ReActiv8 neurostimulation.
BackSpace is a multidisciplinary spinal rehabilitation clinic comprised of nurses and allied health professionals supervised by spine and pain specialists. Dr Paul Licina, spine surgeon, and Dr Brendan Moore, pain physician, heads the research team carrying out the study. Neurosurgeon Dr Adrian Nowitzke is responsible for the implantation surgery and patient care. Patients’ post implantation rehabilitation is co-ordinated by the BackSpace team.
The ReActiv8 system is an implantable neurostimulation system that uses a new rehabilitative therapy that stimulates the nerves of the muscle directly responsible for stabilizing your lumbar spine. The therapy is designed to restore lumbar muscle control and aims to interrupt the back’s cycle of pain, degeneration, and loss of function. The product has been extensively tested and is FDA and TGA approved and is covered by private health insurance.
