Description

Magnetotherapy is a physiotherapeutic procedure that allows for treatment with a magnetic field. This method uses the positive effects of a low-frequency alternating magnetic field on the body. In contrast to magnetic stimulation, it involves the use of a higher intensity magnetic field in a constant or pulsed mode. Magnetotherapy supports regenerative processes - it accelerates bone fusion, relieves swelling and pain, and shortens recovery time. This ensures effective treatment of pain and swelling even during the healing phase after surgery.

Magnetotherapy is successfully used in rehabilitation and pain relief, as well as in dentistry, angiology, orthopedics, urology, rheumatology, immunology, otolaryngology, allergology, gynaecology, neurology, dermatology, gastroenterology, sports and aesthetic medicine. The magnetic field stimulates the synthesis of collagen, a protein that is part of our skin, tendons and even the cornea. Therefore, magnetotherapy is successfully used, among other things, in the treatment of injuries to the skin, eyes and musculoskeletal system.

During the treatment, the magnetic field penetrates the body, reaching every cell, where, by affecting the structure of cell membranes, it supports cell regeneration processes, facilitating the penetration of oxygen and nutrients into the cells.

How does magnetic therapy help patients?

Magnetotherapy has anti-inflammatory, analgesic, anti-edematous and regenerative effects. In addition, the biological effects of the magnetic field include an osteogenic effect and, consequently, accelerated bone healing. Magnetotherapy devices are used in hospitals, outpatient clinics, clinics, rehabilitation centres and many other healthcare facilities. It brings relief to patients by supporting wound healing and tissue regeneration. The effect of magnetotherapy on the body is based on the use of pulses with a frequency and intensity adapted to the individual needs of the patient.

The positive effect of magnetic therapy on soft tissue and bone is used to relieve pain and accelerate the healing process after orthopaedic medical procedures and surgeries. This means that low-frequency magnetic field therapy is an effective and non-invasive method of patient rehabilitation. It is used for degenerative diseases and is able to inhibit the degenerative process taking place in them.

What diseases does magnetic therapy treat?

The low-frequency magnetic field applied to the selected area of the body provides very good penetration, which biostimulates the body, supporting the processes of soft tissue regeneration and bone fusion. According to studies, magnetotherapy significantly accelerates the recovery process in such diseases:

• Musculoskeletal disorders such as discopathy, carpal tunnel syndrome, knee osteoarthritis, bone disorders (fractures), degenerative changes in the spine and joints, fibromyalgia, articular cartilage damage, Achilles tendonitis, rotator cuff damage, osteoporosis, pseudoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, muscle inflammation, pelvic pain.
• Wounds and ulcers, e.g. diabetic foot ulcers, postoperative inflammation, postoperative pain and swelling, burns.
• Diseases of the nervous system, including diabetic polyneuropathy (pain and paresthesias), nerve damage, cranial and peripheral nerve dysfunction, stroke, multiple sclerosis.
• Cardiovascular diseases, for example, in recovery from myocardial infarction, arrhythmia, coronary heart disease, hypertension.
• Treatment of pain associated with migraine and vasomotor headaches.
• Захворювання шкіри та м’яких тканин, наприклад, бактеріальні інфекції, келоїди.
• Eye diseases, such as optic nerve atrophy, infectious diseases of the cornea.
• Gastrointestinal disorders, such as colon hypersensitivity, chronic pancreatitis, diarrhoea and flatulence.
• Weakening the body by restoring vitality.
• Diseases of the upper and lower respiratory tract, in particular by relieving discomfort and shortening the period of illness.
  

  How do patients feel the magnetic field during treatment?

  Magnetotherapy is a painless and comfortable procedure. It can be carried out through clothing or, if the treatment is for an immobilised limb, in an orthopaedic bandage. For most patients, the treatment is unnoticeable, while some people feel a slight warmth in the area of the magnetic field. Astar PhysioMG devices are equipped with magnetic field activity sensors, which allow patients to feel slight vibrations indicating magnetic field activity.

Magnetotherapy - indications and contraindications

Magnetotherapy procedures are intended for adult patients. Minors can be treated only on the clear recommendation of a doctor, after all contraindications have been eliminated. Medical consultation is also required for patients with implanted electronic devices (e.g. pacemakers) and metal implants. Medical consultation is equally important for people who have epileptic seizures, pathological changes in the EEG or after neurosurgery. If treatment involves wounds, pressure ulcers, ulcers or burns in the exudative phase, the area to be treated with magnetic therapy should be adequately treated (e.g. by applying a gauze bandage).

Magnetotherapy can cause sleep disturbances, so, especially for the elderly, it is advisable to refrain from performing procedures in the evening.

People with respiratory diseases and/or breathing difficulties should use a semi-sitting position to increase patient comfort during the procedure. Contraindications for treatment include: oncological diseases, gastrointestinal bleeding, pregnancy, thyrotoxicosis, juvenile diabetes, pulmonary tuberculosis, severe viral, fungal or bacterial infections. Magnetotherapy procedures are not performed on patients under the influence of alcohol and other intoxicants.

Magnetotherapy devices are an important element of the equipment of specialised physiotherapy centres. The most common equipment for magnetic therapy is solenoid or local applicators. In the model of the PhysioMG 827 magnetic therapy device It is possible to perform therapy with the simultaneous use of two magnetic field applicators (Dual Mode) - a solenoid applicator that strengthens the patient's entire body and a plate applicator that has a local effect. In addition, using visual and sensory indicators of field activity, we indicate the area where the therapy is being performed and create the feeling that the magnetic field is actually occurring in this place.

PhysioMG 827

This revolutionary device is the most advanced magnetic therapy device in our offer, and the advanced technology used in it creates a range of therapeutic possibilities, while maintaining intuitive operation and the highest quality.

Benefits for the patient

Comfort during treatment

The PhysioMG 827 is a unique device on the market that allows the use of a solenoid applicator with a diameter of up to 75 cm. This means that a wider group of patients can be treated than before, and in combination with the new, comfortable and extremely stable couch with headrest, it allows you to completely relax during your treatments.

Maximum effectiveness of therapy

The innovative Dual Mode technology used in the PhysioMG 827 allows for the simultaneous use of two magnetic field applicators - a solenoid with systemic action and a plate applicator with localised action. By using a variable therapeutic frequency in the range of 0-50 Hz, the so-called Spectrum, we achieve exceptional versatility in tissue treatment.

Noticeable magnetic field activity

The touch-sensitive magnetic field activity indicator allows patients to feel the effects of the PhysioMG 827 through gentle vibrations during field emission. The visual magnetic field activity indicator informs about the phase of the magnetic field emission and indicates the treatment area.
