Multifidus Stimulation (Reactiv8) Procedure

The multifidus stimulation procedure, also known as Reactiv8, is a minimally invasive treatment option for patients with back pain and multifidus atrophy. This treatment involves placing small electrodes into the muscles of the lower back, the multifidus muscle, which supports the spine. The electrodes deliver electrical impulses to these muscles, which can help to restore strength and function.

Patients with chronic back pain and multifidus atrophy may be good candidates for the Reactiv8 procedure. This treatment may be an option for patients who have tried other treatments without success, including medication, physical therapy, and surgery. Before undergoing this procedure, patients will undergo a thorough evaluation to determine if they are a good candidate for the treatment. A psychological screening is also required by insurance carriers. The Reactiv8 procedure may help patients improve their mobility and reduce pain, leading to a better quality of life.
