Low back pain (LBP) is the most common and costly non life-threatening disease affecting the industrialized world. A staggering 85 percent of patients with LBP aren't accurately diagnosed using X-ray, MRI, CT scan or other invasive diagnostic procedures, which only provide information related to anatomy.
Facet joint injections and discograms are often used to aid the physician with the diagnosis, but these painful, costly and invasive procedures involve risk with associated side effects and are documented to be ineffective up to 50 percent of the time.
To accurately determine the source of low back pain and recommend treatment, physicians need information on physiology as well as anatomy. Until now, there was no effective, diagnostic modality to provide all-inclusive paraspinal data.
Experience a New Level of Diagnostic Confidence
Each Lumbar Matrix Scan collects thousands of bioelectrical signals from the back and reconstructs them into easily interpreted images. This enables the physician to see the physiology associated with a lower back injury.
The Lumbar Matrix™ Scan* has undergone blinded clinical studies at the Cleveland Clinic, Texas Back Institute and The Ohio State University College of Medicine.
*The proprietary technology used for a Lumbar Matrix Scan is CERSR® - Computerized Electrophysiological Reconstructed Spinal Regions.
