Magnetic fields lay a fundamental role in biological life; it is enough to think that the world itself is a huge magnet and that many living things regulate their lives around the variations of terrestrial magnetism.
Magnetic fields are normal in nature but man has also been able to produce them artificially.
A magnetic field is obtained by making an electric current flow through a wire coiled in a spiral. Using, for example, a coil as instrument, the magnetic fields positioned around each conductor are combined in it, giving origin to a density of lines of force that is measured in Gauss.
If the current thus produced circulates, with impulses, i.e. if it is connected or disconnected, a pulsing magnetic field is created.
Within the bio-energetic and chemical ambits of an organism the basic concept of magnetism is not the magnetic load, but the energy-rich dipole that is surrounded by a magnetic field and whose transformation and exploitation for energy production in the organism is of great importance. Living organisms, in fact, can be crossed by magnetic fields and stimulated by them.
After years of scientific and chemical experiments it has been confirmed that the use of low-frequency pulsing magnetic fields is an optimal therapeutic instrument for different pathologies.
It has also been proved that the use of magnetic fields in the field of therapeutic medicine can be combined with optimal results with the use of laser CO2: in fact the combined actions of these two sources allow excellent results to be obtained.
The best results are obtained with daily applications for at least the first 10 days of treatment;
The number of applications can vary from 10 to 20;
Magnetotherapy provides the best results if it is applied as soon as possible after the pathology appears.
Effect of Magnetic Fields
| • | Antalgic and anti-inflammatory effect. |
| • | Increase of antigen-antibody reaction. |
| • | Anti-aging action due to improvement in the metabolism of skin and connective tissue. |
| • | Improvement in osteogenesis. |
| • | Increase of electrical activity in the fractured area. |
| • | Increase of vascularisation. |
| • | Increase of mineralization and reactivation of quiescent cells. |
| • | Increase of bone resistance. |
| • | Bacteriostatic activity. |
| • | Resolution of muscular spasm. |
| • | Acceleration of flesh cure processes. |
| • | Increase of peripheral haematic flow and increase in the rate of blood flow. |
| • | Diminution of aggregation related to red blood corpuscles and trombocytes. |
The anti-phlogistic and anti-oedemagenic action reduces cure times, thus permitting a rapid return to physical or sport activity.
Fields of Application
| • | Rheumatology: in rheumatic and inflammatory illnesses, (Arthrosis, fibromialgia), etc. |
| • | Orthopaedics and Traumatology: fractures, degenerative lesions arthrosis, osteoporosis, tendinitis, contractures and muscular strains, sprains and contusions, etc. |
| • | Dermatology: sores, ulcers, magnetotherapy accelerates the process of tissue regeneration. |
| • | Neurology: sciatic, migraine, post-herpetic neuralgia, etc. |
Contraindications
The therapy should not be applied in the following cases:
| • | Tuberculosis, juvenile diabetes. |
| • | Infection of fungi or viruses. |
| • | Pregnant women. |
| • | Patients with electronics prostheses sensitive to magnetic fields (pacemakers). |
| • | Cancer. |
