Physiotherapy magnet is a method of treatment using high and low frequency magnetic fields. These fields (variable and constant) are generated in intermittent or continuous mode with different shapes, frequencies and pulse durations. Under the influence of a magnet, electric currents appear in the tissues, as a result of which biophysical and biochemical processes begin to activate in our body. More useful substances enter the cells and harmful ones are removed. As a result, the general condition of the body improves.
The use of magnetotherapy by our ancestors
For medical purposes, the magnet began to be used a long time ago. Historians and scientists have repeatedly proved that even the ancient Greeks, Egyptians and Chinese used magnets to treat various ailments. It is known that even the Egyptian queen Cleopatra wore small magnets on her head to preserve her beauty and youth.
OhThe healing properties of magnetic fields were also mentioned by philosophers: Aristotle, Paracelsus and Pliny the Elder. In the 18th century, special medical books were written about how to use a magnet. In those distant times, the simplest physiotherapy in the form of compresses, cans, ice packs and heating pads was also popular.
Elementary procedures showed amazing therapeutic effect. Today, magnetotherapy is no less in demand and is used in almost all medical institutions. Such popularity is due primarily to the fact that the electric current helps to normalize blood pressure, has a beneficial effect on the endocrine and immune systems. Its range is very wide.
Healing properties
Skepticism and irony about the therapeutic effect of the magnet is understandable, since the electric current has no color, no taste, no smell. But, despite this, magnet physiotherapy has truly amazing healing properties and helps people cope with serious diseases. Permanent magnetic waves have a healing and calming effect on the human body.
Pulse and variable fields, on the contrary, act more aggressively. The magnet is truly unique, it penetrates deep tissues (up to the nerve endings) and relieves inflammation. Clinical trials have shown that this treatment can help manage chronic depression.
The main result of these fields is the complete relaxation of the muscles. The person gets betterblood circulation in the vessels, the removal of toxic substances and lactic acid is accelerated, the recovery process in damaged tissues is enhanced, swelling and pain are reduced, and more oxygen is supplied to the cells.
Get rid of what?
Physiotherapy magnet is used for heart disease, diseases of the digestive tract, peripheral vessels, musculoskeletal system, central nervous system and skin problems (dermatosis, eczema). Already after the first session, the patient's pain disappears, his condition improves, sleep and temperature normalize, swelling of the lymph nodes decreases. After a full course of therapy, blood pressure decreases, joint mobility is restored, cholesterol and sugar levels decrease.
Physiotherapy magnet: contraindications for use
This method of treatment is not allowed for everyone. Patients with poor blood clotting, acute thrombosis and serious disorders of hematopoiesis are prohibited from magnetic therapy. In addition, if a person has arrhythmia, angina pectoris, aneurysms, vascular insufficiency, myocardial infarction, then magnetic wave treatment is completely contraindicated.
People with irritability, tuberculosis, mental and central nervous system disorders, oncology should also not use this method. Physiotherapy-magnet is not prescribed for people with hypertension. Pregnant and lactating women should refrain from this procedure. For small children up to 1.5 years old, sessions are carried out understrict medical supervision.
Physiotherapy is a magnet in gynecology: indications for treatment
Inflammatory pathologies of the genital organs in women are the number one problem. Every year the number of young girls with adnexitis, fibroids, endometritis and endometriosis is increasing. The use of magnetic therapy in the treatment of inflammatory diseases (erosion, endocervicitis, colpitis) sometimes leads to the complete disappearance of pain, a decrease in the hematological and leukocyte index, as well as to a general improvement.
When using magnetic fields, the rate of metabolic processes and the concentration of drugs increase significantly, microcirculation in the pelvis is restored. Effective therapy for infertility, complications after surgery and pathology of the functions of the appendages. This method in gynecology gives a pronounced anti-edematous, anti-inflammatory and analgesic effect.
We all understand that the magnetic field, as, in principle, and the simplest physiotherapy, is not a panacea, although it shows a high therapeutic result. To significantly alleviate the condition and cope with the disease, follow the necessary instructions and recommendations of the doctor.
