Magnetotherapy

Magnetotherapy The application of low-frequency electromagnetic field in treatment. Electromagnetic field acts on cellular level (upon its physical features, chemical and biological processes in a cell) which gives rise to numerous therapeutic effects within the whole body:

antiphlogistic (anti-inflammatory)- analgesic (reduced pain sensation)
anti-edematous effect (reduced swelling)
improved tissue oxygenation
improved metabolism
improved blood and lymph flow
decreased blood viscosity and coagulability (affects endothelium of blood vessels)
stimulated regeneration of tissue
stimulated osteogenesis - regeneration of bone tissue
decreased spastic muscle tone
stimulated immunology system (improved body defense forces)

EMP advantages:

accelerated bone healing after fractures - callus stimulation
possible application during plaster immobilization
possible application in the presence of metal in the tissue
powerful anti-edematous effect (reduced swelling) and analgesic effect (decreased sensation of pain)
improved IMMUNOLOGY STRENGTH OF THE BODY
improved circulations and certain blood properties (decreased platelet aggregation)

Indications for application of EMP are as follows:

pain in the cervical, thoracic and lumbar part of the spine
slowly healing bone fractures
traumas of joints, ligaments, tendons and muscles
algodystrophic syndrome - Sudeck’s disease
osteoporosis
disorders of peripheral circulation
trophic lesions due to disorders of arterial and venous circulation (varicose ulcers - Ulcus cruris)
