Back Rx is the result of influences throughout my life from the East and the West. As a child growing up in India, I watched my grandfather stay fit by doing daily yoga routines with its focus on the breath. As a doctor training in the West at Weill Medical College of Cornell University affiliated Hospital for Special Surgery in Manhattan as serving as the Medical Director for the men’s international tennis circuit (ATP Circuit) and the PGA Tour for golf , I discovered that back pain is a mind-body problem that needs a mind-body so-lution. Out of these influences, Back Rx was born. It combines the ancient wisdom of Yoga with the western rigorous scientific knowledge of rehabilitation. Back Rx has been clinically proven to reduce pain and significantly prevent recurrence of back pain in soon-to-be-published peer-review journal (Presented at American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons Annual Meeting in 2004).

Besides Back Rx exercise program, I have developed a patent-pending brace called the Disc Unloader brace in collaboration with Corflex Corp. which has been shown to reduce intra-discal pressures while sitting and is use nationally in North America. Based on this brace, the Back Rx brace was created in order to minimize low back pain. Our experi-ence in biomechanics led to creation of the Back Rx chair and mattress both designed to minimize pressures on the low back and thus pain. We have also created the Back Rx natural anti-inflammatory supplement combined with a disposable medicated heat patch. The goal of the Back Rx spine care system is to enable a pain-free life.
