MedX equipment and McKenzie therapy are two of the most peer-reviewed and researched alternatives for people suffering from back and neck pain. We have over 70 research and clinical studies and randomized controlled trails substantiating the efficacy of the MedX treatment program. We have over 40 research articles involving the biology, reliability, directional preference and centralization prognosis of McKenzie therapy. Together, we believe MedX and McKenzie therapy offer patients in pain the best opportunity for success utilizing the world’s most researched and clinical proven methods available.
