Break the cycle of pain and dysfunction today. Ready to learn if ReActiv8® is right for you?
ReActiv8® is an implantable restorative neurostimulation system designed to treat mechanical chronic low back pain by restoring control of the multifidus muscles, the key stabilizers of the lumbar spine. The system delivers gentle electrical pulses to the L2 medial branch of the dorsal ramus (at the L3 level), re-educating muscles that have become dysfunctional through cycles of pain, disuse, and degeneration. Unlike conventional treatments that only mask symptoms, ReActiv8® directly targets the root cause of spinal instability, multifidus dysfunction. This technology helps patients regain stability, reduce pain, and improve long-term function.
