Step 3: Magnetic Therapy
Magnetic Therapy, in conjunction with
Mechanical Therapy,
straightens the spine.
What is it?
- Magnetic Therapy entails the use of electro magnets and ferromagnetic material.
- Once energized with electricity, the electro magnets create a magnetic field and an attractive force to the ferromagnetic material. When the electricity is switched off, the magnetic field no longer provides an attractive force.
- The electro magnets are anchored to the carbon fiber straps.
- The ferromagnetic material, is inserted into the spine with a minimally invasive robotic surgical technique.
- The ferromagnetic material is composed of an iron core encased in biocompatible cobalt chromium.
- The ferromagnetic material does not have a magnetic field on its own and thus would not attract stray iron materials.

Electro Magnets Embedded into Carbon Fiber Straps
Electro magnets in the carbon fiber straps, when energized, deliver an attractive force to the ferromagnetic material in spine.
