Clinical Studies
The Bio-Back is clinically proven to reduce the activity and strain on key endurance muscle groups in the lower back, including the vitally important Multifidus muscles. By relaxing these muscle groups and alleviating back pain, the Bio-Back will allow your patient to participate in a more active lifestyle.
Why The Bio-Back Works
The Multifidus muscle group spans several vertebral segments and works to stabilize the lower back. This stability is imperative for proper bio-mechanics to occur. The Bio-Back's unique design creates a counter-force pressure to reduce the load on discs, facet joints, and muscles. This aids muscle function by increasing endurance. Current medical literature indicates that focusing on improvement of the endurance and static holding capacity of the Multifidi during activity is vital for managing lower back pain.
Bio-Back Clinical Studies
Independent clinical studies have utilized EMG activity to evaluate the Bio-Back's clinical efficacies. The study demonstrated that use of a Bio-Back orthosis in the standing anatomically neutral position, tensioned to sixteen pounds, reduced the activity of the longissimus at L4 by an average of 52% and the multifidus at L4 by an average of 37% when compared to not wearing the orthosis.
Overall, this would indicate that the employment of the Bio-Back orthosis reduces the L4 muscular activity approximately 44%. No particular relationship was made at this time between the age or the BMI of the subjects tested and the percentage of decrease in muscle activity in either muscle. Thus, it was concluded in this limited study that the percentage of muscular activity reduction is a unique function of the individual.

Real World Results
Twenty nine symptomatic patients who used the Bio-Back for various lengths of time were asked to respond to a series of questions regarding their personal experience.
- 78% reported pain relief
- 73% reported pain prevention
- 7% reported a decrease in consumption of opioids
- 84% would recommend the Bio-Back.
