The Digital Back Rx® Program

Back Rx® is a mind-body program created by a Sports Medicine doctor specifically as an at-home back pain solution. It has been proven in two clinical trials to reduce pain, recurrence of symptoms, and dependency on medications — while promoting long-term healing.

The Digital Back Rx® App takes healing to the next level through five structured healing pathways designed for complete and sustainable recovery.

Core Exercise Categories in Back Rx®

The program is structured into three progressive phases, each requiring just 15–20 minutes a day. Every pose is paired with a recommended number of slow, controlled breaths allowing flexibility for individual breathing rhythms.

Phase 1

Beginner Series A — Restorative Mobility

Gentle stretches, breath work, and joint lubrication. Helps the first stage of recovery from injury or when pain is severe.

Phase 2

Intermediate Series B — Core Stability

Deep core activation without strain. Takes healing further through core and dynamic muscle work.

Phase 3

Advanced Series C — Functional Strength & Balance

Integrating stability into daily movement. Maximized endurance training when pain is completely reduced.

The Back Rx app decreased pain and increased function in patients with discogenic axial CLBP compared to their baseline status.

Back Rx Foundational 1 Year Trial (2007)

Back Rx exercises, combined with use of a lumbar cryobrace and oral medications, yielded superior therapeutic results than with use of medications and cryobrace alone. Also significant was the reduced rate of recurrence in these patients.
