Back in 2005 MAGNA was the first on to add Disc Decompression Therapy in their list of services for the Bowling Green area. For 4 years Dr. Hawley was the National medical advisor for the SpineMed decompression industry. Currently he is the national Medical Advisor for Pivotal Health Solutions corp. and their DOC decompression table. He personally has completed thousands of decompression cases, and currently teaches courses for other Doctors on decompression therapy. Being on the cutting edge and forefront of medical advances is what keeps MAGNA successful and their patients seeing results. Decompression Therapy over the last few years has become a staple for treating patients with disc pathology such as degeneration, herniations, bulges, sciatica, neuropathy, and a host of others. Disc Decompression aids the patient by decreasing the "intra discal pressure" and helping to resorb the nucleic acid.
Intervertebral disc pathology is one of the primary causes of back and neck pain. The discs are prone to
degeneration and injury as they are compressed and twisted through daily activities.
As the disc degenerates, the gel-like nucleus loses its hydration, reducing disc height and creating the possibility of facet syndrome and lateral foraminal stenosis. Furthermore, disc degeneration causes the pliable outer coating of the anulus to become brittle and susceptible to cracks and tears that can lead to disc herniations. Bulging or herniated discs often press on spinal nerves, causing severe pain and radiculopathy.
The goal of reducing intradiscal pressure is to enhance the osmotic diffusion of fluids and nutrients across the endplates into the disc, furthering the bodys natural healing abilities. Additionally, reduction of intradiscal pressures may help draw the nucleus pulposus of a herniated disc back into the center, thereby relieving pressure on a compressed nerve rootalleviating the problem and the pain.
At MAGNA we have the latest in Decompression tables.
The DOC is the newest and most versatile table on the market today!
