With over 15 years experience in the health care industry, we are proud to bring you a dedicated therapy for all spine related issues. Research shows that 80% percent of all spine problems can be treated with non-invasive therapeutic techniques.
Back Rx was created by Dr. Vijay Vad who practices at the Hospital for Special Surgery in New York City. As a physician specializing in treating athletes, Dr. Vijay Vad has spent years researching how to cure back pain using medical yoga and Pilates. Profiled in The Wall Street Journal, his program requires just fifteen minutes a day for eight weeks to restore flexibility and prevent future injuries.
Offering a proven alternative to invasive surgery, Back Rx provides the best of mind/body medicine by giving people a step-by-step exercise series, demonstrated in 130 precise photographs, for implementing his popular program at home. Even readers with severely limited mobility will rejoice in Dr. Vad’s gentle introductory workout. Progressing through his self-paced program, they will discover a new range of exercises, breathing techniques, and tips for self-massage. For those who want to go even further and use this program for more than the treatment of a single injury, an advanced workout is included that puts readers on the road to peak performance.
The perfect combination of modern medicine, Pilates innovations, and ancient yoga postures, Back Rx builds important new fundamentals for lifelong freedom from pain.
Back Rx goes beyond just therapy. Routine life is taxing on the spine and most people don’t realize that sitting down causes the maximum pressure on the lower spine. Taking into account all the high pressure positions in our lives, we have created the perfect range of products to combat such punishing events. Your day will begin with a simple yoga routine, which will be followed by taking a daily dose of a clinically proven herbal supplement that strengthens the joints. At work you will sit on specially designed chairs. You will wear gel insoles to reduce pressure from standing and walking. A brace will reduce intradiscal pressure by up to 50% and lastly you will get a full nights rest on our memory foam mattresses creating the perfect contour for your spine while you sleep.
Our clinicians will evaluate your condition and aid you back to good health. All Back Rx units are designed with a modern spa like feel for manual therapy and a simple yet smart environment where you can familiarize yourself with our products. We invite you to visit our nearest location. For further information please do not hesitate to contact us as we understand how severe back pain can be!
