Spinal Rehabilitation at MAGNA encompasses the body's musculature (facia, tendons, ligaments, and muscles) as well as the skeletal system (bones, joints, cartilage, articulations)
By diagnosing both of these systems seperately and then combining the treatment of both systems synergistically you have a solild spinal rehabilitation protocol.
The spinal column, also known as the vertebral column or backbone, runs from the base of the skull to the buttocks. It includes 24 vertebrae, the intervertebral discs acting as shock absorbers" between the bones, the sacrum located in the pelvic area between the hip bones, and the coccyx or tail bone. Problems in any of these areas can encompass a wide variety of ailments.
Spinal rehabilitation can treat problems with the bones, the surrounding muscles and any collateral problems such as radiating pain symptoms. Herniated discs, where the soft central portion between the bones leaks out of its enclosure, and spinal stenosis, where the spinal canal becomes narrowed, are two problems for which a rehab program can be beneficial. Degenerative disc disease, degenerative arthritis or osteoarthritis, where deformities of the bone come from normal wear-and-tear, also responds well the spinal rehab. Even facet syndrome or irritation of the joints of the spine, and injuries or pain from sports, accidents or overuse can benefit from spinal rehabilitation.
Spinal rehabilitation consists of finding the injury or site of pain and using various therapeutic techniques to correct problem, relax surrounding tight muscles, decrease pain symptoms and regain functional motion. Rehab begins with finding the root of the problem. Some common procedures used are diagnostic testing like MRIs or magnetic resonance imaging and nerve conduction tests. This is then followed by a comprehensive treatment program to reduce symptoms and restore mobility.
