Frequently Asked Questions
Common Questions About Back Pain Management
Chronic back pain can arise from various types of injury. Vertical compression from the weight of our upper torso, or years of heavy lifting, may cause muscle strain, and joint damage. Often that initial damage may present as degenerative disc disease years later. A lifetime of vertical spinal loading causes wear and tear on joints, muscles, and discs. As the discs dehydrate, fluid is lost and the space between each vertebra is narrowed, often compressing sensitive nerves. Disc dehydration may ultimately cause degeneration. Pain is considered a by-product of mechanical instability.
The LORDEX®RX2 machine is a muscle-specific enhanced exercise tool that targets specific muscle groups to promote strength and mobility. Its design focus is on maximizing strength potential, allowing Rx2 owners to regain control over their pain. Slowing, stopping and even reversing degeneration and pain is the ultimate objective.

The original LORDEX® Lumbar flexion/extension machine was manufactured as a medical device with computers and measurement capability to determine a person’s spine fitness. LORDEX® gained notoriety in the late 80’s and early 90’s as a medical device, intended to identify weakness and instability, and provide a means to restore, strengthen and reduce back pain. The new LORDEX®RX2 is not a medical device, but rather a tool to provide isolated, muscle specific and targeted exercise for the lower back to support, strengthen and help reduce pain.
The Rx2 version is a non-invasive machine that is intended to be self-directed for lifetime consumer use to support persons with mechanical back pain due to disuse atrophy.
