3. Continuing low back pain despite >90 days of medical management.
4. Qualifying pain score.
5. Qualifying disability score.
6. Evidence of lumbar multifidus muscle dysfunction.
7. Be willing and capable of giving Informed Consent.
8. Ability to comply with the instructions for use and to operate ReActiv8, and to comply with this Clinical Investigation Plan.

Exclusion Criteria:

1. BMI > 35

2. Back Pain characteristics:

   1. Any surgical correction procedure for scoliosis at any time, or a current clinical diagnosis of scoliosis.

   3. Neurological deficit possibly associated with the back pain (e.g. foot drop).
   4. Back pain due to pelvic or visceral reasons (e.g.: endometriosis or fibroids) or infection (e.g.: post herpetic neuralgia).
   5. Back pain due to inflammation or damage to the spinal cord or adjacent structures (e.g. arachnoiditis or syringomyelia).
