Magneto therapy

BY,
DR.RESHMA
 The “magnetotherapy” word means the
application of a mainly magnetic field ,
originated from low and high frequencies, for
therapeutic purposes.
 The magnetotherapy regenerates the injured
cells by improving the enzyme kinetics and
repolarizes the cellular membranes;
 it produces an anti-stress action
 anti-inflammatory and analgesic action,
without side effects.
 The magnetotherapy’s
benefits
 Relieve the pain: it acts as a potent analgesic
 It accelerates the healing processes
 It stimulates the cellular exchange
 It improves the nutrition and the oxygenation of
tissues
 It reduces the inflammations
 It stimulates the resorption of edema
 It improves the capillary flow
 It regenerates the cells without energy
 It slows down the process of bone density decrease
 The magnetotherapy’s advantages:
 It helps to relieve pain and inflammations
without the use of drug
 It 's a safe and not-invasive therapy
 It does not cause pain
 It has an analgesic action
 It reduces the time for the healing of a fracture
 It can be applied with no contraindications for
most diseases
 The magnetotherapy acts on:
 bone system
 muscular system
 joint system
 nervous system
 circulatory system
 The effects of the magnetotherapy can be
classified as follows:
 anti-inflammatory action
 stimulating action of the endocrine system
 analgesic action
 tissue repair
 anti-stress action
 magnetotherapy can produce:
 an healing effect
 an analgesic effect
 an aesthetic effect
Contraindication

 Patients with an internal pacemaker should consult

their physician before the use of magnetic therapy, as
the magnetic field may cause interruptions in signals
between the heart and the pacemaker. It has known
to cause malfunction of the pacemaker as well. If your
partner has a pacemaker, you will need to consult your
partner's physician before you start using magnetic
products. The same is the case with people who have
internal defibrillators, insulin pumps, etc.

 Pregnant women should also avoid the use of
magnetic products. It is said that the
magnetic fields stimulate cell growth, and
with a fetus already growing inside the body,
it can cause increased cell growth in the fetus.
Research is underway to find out if magnetic
fields cause abnormal growth in the fetus.

 Magnetic products should not be used during
chemotherapy and radiotherapy. Cancer is
caused due to abnormal growth of different
cells and we have just seen that magnetic
therapy stimulates the growth of new cells. In
other words, it will have an opposite reaction
to that of chemotherapy and radiotherapy.
