What magnetic therapy is and what benefits

What is magnetotherapy?

Magnetotherapy is a physical medicine procedure that allows treatment with the application of magnetic field. This method uses the positive effects of low-frequency alternating magnetic field on the body. Unlike magnetostimulation, it consists of using a higher intensity magnetic field for continuous or pulsed mode. Magnetotherapy supports regenerative processes – accelerates bone union, relieves edema and pain as well as shorten the time needed for recovery. It enables effective pain and edema treatment, even during post-surgery healing phase.

Effects of pulsed electromagnetic fields on tissue:

By improving the permeability of the cellular membrane, it affects cell metabolism and allows for quicker absorption of swelling (antiedematous effect). It helps in healing bone fractures as well as open wounds of the skin and subcutaneous tissue (anti-inflammatory effect) for both acute and chronic inflammations.

A pulsed magnetic field reduces the transmission of painful sensations from the nerve endings to the central nervous systems, further reducing pain (acting as a pain-killer).

Within a couple minutes, it expands blood vessels in the affected area and improves the circulation of blood (visodilating effect).

Relieves stress in the musculoskeletal system (myorelaxation effect).

Strengthens the immune system (regenerating and detox effect).

Harmonizes a vegetative nervous system.

Magnetic therapy is not addictive and has no known side-effects. The patient does not experience any negative sensations during treatment. Magnetic field pulses penetrate evenly across body tissue so the patient does not need to take off any clothes. It can also penetrate through plaster casts. Metal implants are not an obstruction either as in modern usage, they are no longer ferromagnetic in nature.
