Our ReActiv8-B Patient Pathology Series now turns the spotlight on Spondylo/Retrolisthesis. “A listhesis is an unwanted movement of a spine segment in relation to the adjacent level. Degenerative listhesis occurs due to a weakening of the surrounding musculature, leading to a breakdown of both the disc and facet joints. Strengthening these muscles may help to stabilize the listhesis and help avoid invasive lumbar fusion surgery,” explains Anthony Giuffrida, MD.

Our next Patient Pathology Series highlights Modic changes. “Much like disc degeneration, Modic changes indicate a breakdown in that section of the spine. By stabilizing the segment through functional core and lumbar paraspinals, we can decrease unwanted strain on the joint and potentially reduce the inflammation responsible for the Modic changes seen on MRI,” explains Anthony Giuffrida, MD.

Despite trying multiple treatments—pain medications, injections, a spinal cord stimulator, and bi-monthly ketamine treatments—nothing provided lasting relief until she tried ReActiv8. "My life has improved so much since getting ReActiv8—I am back to traveling, and I was surprised I even got feeling back in my toes! My mental health also improved, and I’m able to do more with my 4 girls!" —Jessica A special thanks to Dr. Gabriel Pagani-Estevez for leading this impactful presentation and supporting patients like Jessica on their journey to recovery.

ReActiv8 patients Laura and John recently shared their powerful stories with the Kansas City Chapter of the American Society of Pain Management Nurses. Laura, 8 months in, and John, 3 years in, have found life-changing relief from chronic low back pain, highlighting the real impact of restorative neurostimulation. A special thank you, Laura and John, for sharing your ReActiv8 journeys! #mainstaymedical #reactiv8 #multifidusdysfunction #chroniclowbackpain #restorativetherapy #thinkrestorative #restorativerevolution #lowbackpain #clbp #helpingpatients #patientfocus #puttingpatientsfirst
Last week, the Mainstay team was honored to be joined by two patients from the KC area, who volunteered their time to present on their own cases studies to the KC Chapter of the American Society of Pain Management Nurses. Laura is a mom and a nurse, who has had Reactiv8 for 8 months now. John is a pastor, who is 3 years into his R8 treatment. Their lives were significantly impacted by debilitating low back pain, but now they are doing fantastic. Providers are raising the bar for CLBP outcomes with restorative neurostimulation and the impact is best described by Reactiv8 patients themselves. Thank you for sharing your stories!

The focus of this week’s Patient Pathology Series is Facet Arthropathy, featuring insights and MRI imaging from Anthony Giuffrida, MD. “Facet arthropathy pain often arises from increased strain on the facet joints due to weak lumbar musculature. Strengthening and stabilizing these muscles can help reduce stress on the joints, which may provide much-needed pain relief,” explains Dr. Giuffrida. Discover how ReActiv8 is designed to restore muscle function and address the root cause of chronic low back pain.

Robert Heros, MD shares the powerful story of a patient who, after a decade of chronic low back pain and failed treatments, finally found relief with ReActiv8. Though the journey took time, 20 months into treatment, she's now 85% improved, traveling for work and enjoying life again. Dr. Heros states, "Like any other truly rehabilitative treatment, restorative neurostimulation takes time." ReActiv8 is redefining how we treat chronic low back pain! #mainstaymedical #reactiv8 #multifidusdysfunction #chroniclowbackpain #restorativetherapy #thinkrestorative #restorativerevolution #lowbackpain #clbp #helpingpatients #patientfocus #puttingpatientsfirst
Like any other truly rehabilitative treatment, restorative neurostimulation takes time. Patients may see improvements in the first 3-6 months, but the initial gains are often functional more so than reduction in actual pain. Some patients take longer to respond, but once they do they continue to respond, and respond well. It's not uncommon to see significant gains well into the 2nd year of treatment - in fact, it’s becoming commonplace for my patients. Take T, for example. Only 27 when we met, she'd been living with low back pain for a decade. She’d been to PT many times, had failed ESIs, facet / SIJ injections and even orthobiologics. Her non-radicular LBP was aggravated by simple, small activities like sitting, walking, changing positions, and bending over the sink. Her MRI was unremarkable save a degenerated L5-S1 disc with annular tear, and mild atrophy/fatty infiltration of the multifidus. Most importantly, her exam was significant for reduced multifidus contractions on her left side (+ Multifidus Lift Test) and a positive Prone Instability Test at L4-5 and L5-S1. She was implanted with ReActiv8 and after 6 months was no better. Since we’d spent a lot of time on education and expectations, she knew this wasn’t unexpected or of concern so she simply stayed the course. At 12 months she was happy to report things were getting better, about 50%. Today she's 20 months into treatment and could barely contain herself, reporting at least 85% improvement overall. She’s working as a dental device rep and traveling all over the western US for work, exercising, being active and remembering what it's like to be a healthy 29 yr old. She gushed that “this has completely changed my life. I’m just so happy and thankful, it’s literally given me a new lease... I never thought I’d have my life back like this...” Always great to see happy patients, but I thought I’d share a couple lessons here: 1. With proper patient identification and education, ReActiv8 should, imho, be considered the Gold Standard treatment for chronic refractory axial LBP when there is evidence for multifidus dysfunction and no clear indication for surgery. The days of ablating nerves over and over and over again are... well, over. 2. Restorative/rehabilitative therapies take time... but with proper education and setting reasonable expectations ahead of time, patients are completely ok with this. 3. I now wouldn’t consider explanting ReActiv8 for at least 2 years. Some patients take awhile to even start seeing benefit, and just as the 5-yr data suggests, there is very often continual and significant improvement well into year 2. So be patient. Stay the course. Keep doing the therapy. The results speak for themselves and are well worth waiting for. #transparency: I consult with, speak for, and do research with Mainstay Medical. This post is entirely my own.
