Physiotherapy is used in the treatment of many diseases. One of the most effective procedures is magnetotherapy. During its implementation, the magnetic field acts on the affected area and promotes healing and tissue regeneration.
Despite the proven effectiveness, magnetotherapy has contraindications and side effects. It is possible to use this therapy only as directed by a doctor.
Magnetotherapy is one of the most effective physiotherapy
The therapy is based on the strength of the magnetic field. The field has a constant and a variable direction. A magnet has two poles, positive and negative. All parameters have their own character of influence on a person.
The therapy is divided into two sections:
- Influence on all organs and systems
- Narrow impact on the local area
Negative field contributes to:
- Increase internal energy
- Increase physical and brain activity
- Increasing the acidity of the body
- Growth and development of pathogens (forbidden for infections)
A positive field contributes to:
- Eliminate pain
- Elimination of inflammation
- Reducing the growth and development of pathogens
- Alkalinization of the body
- Decreased body acidity
- Sedative effect on the nervous system
- Destruction of fat reserves
- Manifestation of a hemostatic effect
- Strengthening the elasticity of blood vessels
The magnetic field gives the following therapeutic effects:
- Acceleration of exchange processes
- Improved blood flow and oxygen supply
- Improve cell composition and permeability
- Cleansing the body of toxins and toxins
- Withdrawal of excess fluid and reduction
- Increased elasticity of blood vessels and nerve fibers
- Normalization of the functioning of the nervous system
- Reduction of inflammatory processes
- Improving the regenerative capacity of tissues
- Relief of pain in chronic manifestations
- Accelerated recovery after surgery
Such an extensive effect on the body makes magnetotherapy an indispensable method of treatment for many pathologies.
Types of devices
Magnetic therapy devices can be in the form of jewelry
For the implementation of the therapy session, the following types of devices are used:
- Stationary type
- Portable type
- Decorations
Each species has distinctive features and purpose. The stationary type of equipment is used to treat serious diseases of the internal type. For limb injuries, mobile portable models are suitable. Jewelry is more suitable for preventive and health maintenance.
Stationary models of magnetic field devices resemble a cabinet with a monitor. The parameters for carrying out medical procedures are entered using a computer. Up to 100 treatment protocols are stored in memory. Management and adjustment of the parameters of the magnetic field is carried out through a computer. From it, the signal is sent to the devices included in the device.
Additional devices:
- Table equipped with a solenoid for treatment of different parts of the body
- Belts
- Set of solenoids in several sizes to treat different limbs
- Special local emitters for treatment of local areas of the body
Portable equipment models are portable. They are used to treat a specific area of the body. Such models relieve inflammation and pain, and also accelerate blood flow at the site of the lesion.
Most Popular Portable Models
One of the popular models of magnetotherapy devices is "Almag-01"
"AMnp-01" is a convenient model. It is equipped with straps from 0.5 to 1.5 meters, which is suitable for use without the help of strangers. The device produces alternating and pulsating current in 4 modes. Because of this, it is used in many diseases.
Application of the device:
- Disorders in the work of the musculoskeletal organs
- Skin pathologies
The device helps to quickly achieve the effect of treatment, which speeds up recovery. Suitable for the treatment of young children and people with poor health. The result of the procedure lasts up to a week, and during the course of therapy - up to 1.5 months.
The use of the equipment does not require special training. May promote adaptation to the magnetic field.
"Magofon-01" has a distinctive feature, which is the creation of vibroacoustic oscillatory waves. In combination with a field of variable type, this gives a noticeable result already in the first minutes of operation of the device.
Such models can be used:
- In the treatment of upper respiratory organs (sinusitis, rhinitis, etc.)
- In the treatment of musculoskeletal parts of the body
- In the treatment of cardiovascular disorders
- For neurological disorders
- In the treatment of ENT organs
- For dental treatment
Ease of use and a high level of efficiency of the device determine its popularity.
"Alimp-1" is a device that creates a field of an impulse type. The standard equipment of the model includes solenoids of various sizes and shapes, a control unit and a manual.
The device is used in many pathologies. Direct evidence includes:
- Pathologies of the female genitourinary sphere
- Diseases of the nervous system of the peripheral type
- Vascular damage in the brain
- Disorders in the functions of the heart vessels
- Violations in the integrity of the spine and joints
"Almag-01" is capable of producing traveling waves of an impulse type. This effect goes very deep into the tissue, so this compact device can be used for a large number of diseases.
The device is supplied with a control unit with 4 solenoids, an elastic bandage and a manual. The unit has an indicator that lights up green when the device is connected to the network, and yellow when it is working. Solenoids connected in one circuit can be used in such areas as the spine, lower back or knee joints.
Random independent use of magnetic field devices does not bring any therapeutic results. Only course application according to the appointments of a specialist can give the desired effect.
A common type of magnetotherapy is the wearing of magnetic accessories. Such decorations create a small field and serve as an addition to the main treatment. With the help of magnetic decorations, it is possible to carry out the prevention of pathologies, maintain the effect of basic magnetic therapy procedures, or receive a small effect of the field for the treatment of certain diseases.
Jewelry with magnets can be of the following types:
- Ring
- Bracelet
- Necklace
- Brooch, etc.
Their wearing is shown in such cases:
- For migraines
- With or hypertension
- With blood flow
- For joint pain
- For spinal pain
- In depressive states
- With rapid fatigue
There are various magnetic accessories. Among them may be rugs, insoles, belts, massagers, etc. All of them have their own purpose and can be used for certain types of diseases.
Purpose and precautions
Magnetotherapy is prescribed for both hypertension and hypotension.
The therapeutic effect of magnets on the human body was discovered a long time ago. They have a stimulating effect on the entire body.
A sensitivity test should be performed before the magnet therapy procedure. To do this, put the magnet in the center of the palm and wait.
Degree of sensitivity:
- Increased, if after 5 minutes the person felt a strong pulsating sensation in the place of the magnet
- Normal if sensations appear after 20 minutes
- Low if no sensation at all
Therapy is prescribed for the treatment of:
- Cardiovascular departments (with, hypotension, etc.)
- Respiratory system (for asthma, tuberculosis, pneumonia, bronchitis)
- Digestive tract (for gastritis, ulcers, pancreatitis, hepatitis, etc.)
- ENT organs (rhinitis, otitis, sinusitis, tonsillitis, etc.)
- Skin diseases (for eczema, psoriasis, acne, bedsores, burns, frostbite, etc.)
- Musculoskeletal departments (for fractures, dislocations, osteochondrosis, arthritis, sciatica, etc.)
- Genitourinary system (with cystitis, prostatitis, pyelonephritis, urethritis, etc.)
- Nervous system (for neurosis, migraine, stroke, depression, etc.)
- Dentistry (for stomatitis, periodontal disease, gingivitis, etc.)
- Endocrine system (for diabetes)
- Ophthalmology (for glaucoma, conjunctivitis, nerve atrophy, keratitis, etc.)
- Postoperative recovery period
Magnetotherapy is an additional method of treatment. It should be used only in an integrated approach with drug therapy.
Despite the huge list of indications, therapy also has precautions. There are situations when the strength of the magnetic field does more harm than good to human health.
Contraindications are:
- Low
- Tuberculosis in acute form
- Availability
- Presence of prostheses
- Severe mental disorder
- Tumors of a malignant nature
- Acute kidney disease
- Liver pathology
- Infectious and inflammatory diseases in the period of exacerbation
- Severe form of hypertension
- hyperthyroidism
- High body temperature
- Menstruation
- Individual reaction on the field
Magnetotherapy should be used with great caution in small children under 2 years of age, pregnant women and people with low blood pressure.
The essence of the procedure
The effect of magnetic therapy usually appears after 3-4 days.
Magnetic field therapy is one of the mandatory physiotherapy procedures. Similar treatment is carried out in a physiotherapy room using a special device.
Standard equipment is equipped with a computer-controlled setting of the frequency and duration of the field. Modern models of equipment contain up to 40 programs for the treatment of various pathologies.
The magnetic field treatment procedure is absolutely painless and practically does not involve preparation. Before the session, it is advised to take a glass of warm water.
Stages of implementation:
- The patient is placed on a special table
- The doctor fixes the belts to the desired areas
- Setting up an individual program in the direction of the attending physician
- The equipment turns on and the action of the magnetic field begins
The strength of the field penetrates up to 4 cm into the depth of the body. The session lasts from 15 minutes to 1 hour, depending on the area of the affected area and the strength of the impact. The effect of the treatment appears after 3-4 procedures.
Treatment with a magnetic field is carried out in courses of 10-15 sessions. A suitable frequency of therapy is considered to be 2-3 times a week.
Possible side effects
The influence of a magnetic field on the human body is considered an absolutely harmless treatment. Direct evidence of the possible harm of therapy is currently not available.
Of all the methods of physiotherapy, magnetotherapy is considered the safest and simplest. It is used even by people who are prohibited from other types of physiotherapy.
If all the recommendations of a specialist in terms of the strength and time of the field exposure to the body are followed, the treatment is absolutely safe. Independent excessive use of magnetic field devices or non-compliance with the specified parameters of individual treatment programs can lead to negative consequences.
Excessive exposure to a magnetic field can cause oxygen deficiency in cells, increase glycolysis, or increase the permeability of cell membranes.
To avoid possible side effects, you should follow the prescription of your doctor and use magnetic field devices at home with caution.
Benefits of Therapy
Almost all people feel better after magnetotherapy
The magnetic field has been used for medicinal purposes for many years. This procedure is used in medicine in all countries of the world.
Each person has their own electromagnetic fields. If their balance is disturbed, a person feels a breakdown and a deterioration in overall well-being.
After a magnetic therapy session, more than 90 percent of people noticed an improvement in their condition. The explanation for this is that the procedure of exposure to the field is natural and natural.
The advantages of magnetotherapy can be called:
- No pain during the procedure
- Application versatility
- Improved overall health
- Ability to treat a specific area
- Large list of indications
- Simple and convenient application
- Inexpensive equipment
The good tolerability of magnetic therapy allows it to be used even by small children. The absence of complications makes it possible to prescribe therapy to people with poor health or the elderly.
Another advantage of magnetic therapy is that it can pass through any surface. The action of the field passes unhindered through the bandage or plaster.
Magnetic field deficiency
With a deficiency of the magnetic field, there may be sharp jumps in blood pressure
Such a syndrome was first mentioned in the 1950s by scientists from Japan. It was found that with a deficit of magnetic field energy in the human body, health deteriorates.
Among the disorders are:
- Fatigue
- Decreased performance
- Disorder of the functioning of internal organs
- Insomnia
- Level fluctuations
- Decreased immunity
- Development of chronic infectious and inflammatory processes
Such deterioration in the general well-being of a person is explained by the fact that deviations in the magnetic field cause a slowdown in blood circulation. The result is a lack of oxygen and nutrients to all organs and tissues of the body.
To normalize the human magnetic field, the scientists of this country proposed the procedure of magnetotherapy, which is successfully practiced by them at the present time.
