Magnetotherapy
Magnetotherapy uses the curative effect of the magnetic field on the biological tissues.
The weakest effect are caused magnetic fields which are static, more intense effects are induced by alternating magnetic fields, and the most dramatic ones are caused by impulse magnetic fields.
In practice doctors apply different electromagnetic devices, which produce mainly impulse magnetic fields of certain shape, frequency and intensity.Magnetotherapy uses the curative effect of the magnetic field on the biological tissues.

In practice doctors apply different electromagnetic devices, which produce mainly impulse magnetic fields of certain shape, frequency and intensity.
The main effects of the magnetic field upon the living tissues are vasodilatation, analgesia, anti-inflammatory effect, myorelaxation and spasmolytic effect, and support of healing processes and antioedemic action.
Applicators have the shape of hollow solenoid cylinders or rings, flat applicators, or two-component racked applicators (magnetic induction, the so-called double decks, used for transregional application).
Counter-indications: implanted cardiostimulators, hemorragic conditions, myasthenia gravis, all mycotic (fungal) diseases, which could become generalised, tumours, juvenile diabetes, pregnancy, active TBC
The procedure has to be prescribed by a doctor, time unit applied is 30 minutes. Read more Hide
