We all want to be he althy, but, unfortunately, few people succeed. Even those of us who do not suffer from serious illnesses are not immune from major and minor everyday injuries: bruises, dislocations, sprains. Now in the arsenal of the medical staff there are not only pills and potions, but also a wonderful, absolutely painless and incredibly effective method - laser therapy.
It was first proven effective back in 1903. Now all therapeutic laser units are equipped with special diodes that allow you to control the radiation parameters and vary them over a wide range.
It has been experimentally established that the green spectrum is able to influence erythrocytes by binding oxygen and hemoglobin, and the ruby spectrum, which has a much lower power, does not have a destructive effect on blood cells. The influence of other spectra on the human body is also different, which makes it possible to achieve the desired therapeutic effects by adjusting the wavelength of light.
Based on this principle and createdlaser apparatus "Milta". There are several models of this device, each of which is endowed with its own advantages and is designed for specific conditions of use. We offer a detailed analysis of some models.
The principle of operation of the Milta series devices
The creators of the device took as a basis traditional, well-proven and repeatedly proven methods, as well as completely new, innovative developments, also tested more than once in physiotherapy practice. As a result, a magnetic-infrared laser therapeutic device, unique in terms of therapeutic effect, called "Milta" was obtained. In his work, it is possible to use three types of effects on the tissues of the human body and the pathological focus:
- sequential;
- separate;
-simultaneous.
In this case, the following physiotherapy techniques are used:
- permanent magnetic field;
- permanent infrared radiation;
- pulsed laser radiation.
When exposed to static magnetic fields, electric currents appear in tissues, affecting the rate of biophysical and biochemical processes.
Infrared radiation stimulates blood flow, improves metabolic processes.
Pulsed laser radiation provides the versatility of the application of the method.
Who the device helps
The Milta device is designed to improve the condition, treat and relieve pain in a wide range ofdiseases of the following organs and systems:
- joints, muscles, tendons, ligaments, bones (treats arthritis, bursitis, polyarthritis, osteoarthritis);
- diseases of the peripheral and central nervous system;
- pathology of the heart and blood vessels (arrhythmia, angina pectoris, heart failure, hypertension);
- diseases of the digestive tract (the device treats gastritis, pancreatitis, colitis);
- respiratory diseases (bronchitis, bronchial asthma, sinusitis, laryngitis, tracheitis);
- gynecological diseases;
- diseases of urology (cystitis, prostatitis);
- skin problems (eczema, allergies, furunculosis, abscesses, neurodermatitis);
- thyroid disease;
- dental ailments (gingivitis, periodontal disease, mouth injuries, surgical operations);
- rehabilitation after surgery (sutures heal faster and easier);
- limb injuries (dislocations, subluxations, bruises, sprains, fractures).
Contraindications
Laser therapy is so safe that even children and pregnant women can use it. Only in all these cases, physiotherapy is carried out under the supervision of a physician. Using the Milta device is not recommended only for the following ailments:
- epilepsy;
- heart disease with a severe course;
- circulatory disorders in brain tissue;
- oncological diseases;
- high skin photosensitivity;
- chronic diseases during exacerbations;
-feverish states;
- severe infectious diseases;
- leukemia;
- heart attack, stroke.
Model "Milta-F-5-01": general description
This device is basic, that is, it is as simple as possible to use, which allows it to be used by both physiotherapists and patients themselves at home. The design provides two connection options:
- from the network (there is a flexible cord);
- offline (the device has a battery). The second option makes it possible to use the device on the road, in the country, even while on a sortie in the forest. It can work without a network for up to 2 hours.
Includes:
- apparatus "Milta";
- instruction;
- methodical manual;
- packing case.
Additionally, you can order:
- tripod;
- goggles that protect the eyes from laser radiation;
- LED nozzles.
The device itself is equipped with a display, a timer, a sound signal, a light signal, and a radiation registration sensor.
Model advantages
The Milta device, model F-5-01, has the following advantages:
- compact (can easily fit in a travel bag);
- the presence of two connection options;
- easy to use (you just need to read the instructions and deal with the attached pictures);
- light weight - only 630 grams (it's easy to keep weight during treatment);
- wide rangeapplications;
- painless treatment;
- the ability to select and set the desired mode of operation;
- convenient and stylish packaging in the form of a leather case.
How to use it
The designers tried to ensure that even people who are far from medicine do not cause any difficulties with the Milta apparatus. The instructions included in the kit explain which points of the body should be treated for each disease, as well as what parameters for this effect to be set on the device. Treatment algorithm:
1. Remove clothing from the area of the body that will be treated.
2. Turn on the appliance.
3. Using the appropriate buttons, set the frequency, power and time (the buttons are labeled). If the device has started to work, the numbers on the display will stop flashing, a light mark will light up next to it, and an infrared “bunny” will appear.
4. Bring the device with the working side to the sore spot (you can touch it or keep the working panel at a small distance from the skin).
5. At the signal of the sound timer, stop the impact on this area and, if necessary, go to the next one.
Model "Milta-F-8-01"
This device is a more bulky design than the previous device, powered by a network. As planned by the designers, the Milta-F-8-01 device is designed for use in outpatient clinics and hospitals of medical institutions, but it can also be used at home.
Distinctive features of the device:
- work with frequencies of a wider range;
- radiation power is distributed over the treated area more evenly thanks to a pulsed laser and four infrared LEDs;
- the ability to treat large areas of the body (this is very important, for example, with extensive burns);
- penetration depth up to 10 cm;
- the ability to connect LED nozzles to the device;
- a built-in photo recorder that allows the physiotherapist to determine how much infrared radiation is reflected from the patient's skin. This allows the doctor to evaluate the effectiveness of the impact. The fact is that each person's skin has a different tissue structure. Therefore, a light wave of the same length can have a different effect on each patient. The magnitude of the reflection shows how well the recovery process is going on in the focus of inflammation, and also determines the exact location of such a focus in cases where they are located in the internal organs.
Safety precautions
The Milta series devices are completely safe if used according to the instructions. The main thing to remember is that laser radiation can damage the retina of the eyes. Therefore, when the device is turned on, the luminous beam must never be directed into the eyes of either people or animals. It is also necessary to ensure that the beam does not hit reflective surfaces such as a mirror, metal objects. It is best, until a direct effect on the skin is started, to direct the beam to the floor. For safetycarrying out the procedures, it is also recommended to check the integrity of the device before turning it on, and turning it on to the network, make sure that the display and indicators are lit, the switches are working. Do not expose the device to water, store it in damp places, near fire (for example, near a fireplace), in places where the sun's rays fall.
Prices where you can buy
The Milta device can be bought either from manufacturers, and this is the NPO Space Instrumentation, or from its representatives. It is not sold in the pharmacy chain, but in online stores it is sold with a certain extra charge. Having chosen a supplier, you need to make sure that he has a certificate, state documents, a warranty card. Depending on the model, the device costs from 13 to 45 thousand rubles. In some regions, sellers offer free shipping.
Conclusions
The Milta device is popular among consumers, as it allows you to cope with many painful conditions without visiting physiotherapists' offices and without wasting time in queues. There are especially many positive reviews regarding the treatment of joint and muscle pain, osteochondrosis, and skin problems. The disadvantage of the Milta device of the F-8-01 series is its bulkiness (weight - 2.5 kg) and operation only from the network. The disadvantage of the F-5-01 series is that some consumers call too small buttons, which is not convenient for everyone. The advantage of the device, noted in all reviews, is its efficiency.
