Understanding the Causes of Low Back Pain

Low back pain can arise from a variety of sources, but in most cases, it is considered mechanical in nature. This means that the pain is typically due to instability and weakness in the muscles that support the spine. When the core and glute muscles are not functioning optimally, they fail to provide adequate support, leading to strain on the spine and resulting in chronic pain. Over time, these muscles can become "sleepy," meaning they no longer activate effectively during movement, further exacerbating the problem.

Strengthening with truFlex Technology

At Ambrosia MD, we utilize truFlex technology to target and activate these underperforming muscles, accelerating the rehabilitation process and helping to alleviate low back pain. truFlex stimulates the core and glute muscles, "waking them up" and increasing their strength and muscle mass. This technology is particularly effective for individuals who have struggled to achieve results through traditional exercise alone.

Patients often notice considerable improvements in their low back pain after just one session of truFlex, particularly when targeting the abdominal muscles and glutes. A typical treatment plan includes 4-6 sessions, which are necessary to facilitate long-standing changes and promote muscle stability. Many patients also report improvements in their posture, standing straighter and taller as their muscles become stronger.
