Maintaining all indicators of the body in its normal state is an important task that faces every person.
Neurological diseases call for increased attention, so modern medicine develops effective methods of physiotherapy, which are based on the use of specialized technologies.
One such technique is franklinization.
Features of physiotherapy
Franklinization is a technique of hardware electrotherapy that has not lost its relevance and effectiveness. The basis is the effect of an electric field of high voltage. The current strength is low. The human body or certain zones thereof are affected by the streams of air ions, ozone and various oxides released under the action of the current.
During the procedure, a person is exposed to an electric field of high voltage, which involves the substances in the air and chemical elements, releasing their electrons. Also, a direct contact of electric charge with the skin occurs, which leads to positive changes in tissues and at the level of cellular reactions.
The electrical current generated by the device, as well as the chemical products of the decay and release of electrons, irritate the nerve receptors. As a result, the body sends responses:
- vascular;
- temperature;
- are sensitive;
- exchange.
Readings are read by the instrument, output to the sensors. The doctor observes and controls, based on the information received from the device, can judge the state of a person and the changes that occur with him.
Principle of operation of
High voltage electric field - from 30 to 50 kV is the basis of the method. Under its influence, physical and chemical processes occur in the body - the tension of the internal environment is created, reaching 10 mV / m².In tissues, weak conduction currents appear. They reduce excitability and conductivity, affect the nerve endings of the skin, as well as mucous membranes.
During the process of franklinization, there is an increase in inhibitory processes that occur in the cerebral cortex and its subcortical centers. As a result of these processes, blood pressure decreases, the respiration rate decreases( comes back to normal), becomes deep and uniform. As a result, there is a sedative effect.
Also in the application of the technique, there is an effect on the vessels and capillaries - the spasm produced and the consequent decrease in temperature causes a person to feel cool and fresh.
The next change that occurs in the body is the expansion of the capillaries, which leads to the opposite effect - an increase in body temperature or a certain part of it. The process of blood movement at all levels in tissues( on the surface and in deep structures) changes. This leads to changes in the central nervous system:
- braking processes intensify;
- improves overall well-being( by all indicators);
- normalizes sleep;
- , the main processes of nervous activity reach optimal parameters;
- improves efficiency and assiduity;
- increases appetite.
Additional changes - bactericidal effect and stimulation of tissue repair processes. Strengthening immunity and removing pain are also effects from the effects of currents on the body.
Basic parameters of the
procedure The radiation power used in the procedure is 30-50 kV.If a local impact is applied, it is reduced to 10-20 kV.Unpleasant or painful feelings the patient does not feel.
The electrodes are placed on the head of a person or in a certain area, which must be acted upon. The gap between the electrode and the head should be 10-15 cm, if a spherical electrode is used, the distance from the apparatus to the person's face should be at least 70 cm. If local electrodes( local franklinization) are used, the distance to the surface of the body should be on average 6 cm
The procedures are performed according to the schedule compiled by the doctor - daily or 1 day after 1 day. The duration of one session is 10-15 minutes. The number of sessions is from 10 to 15. It is possible to repeat the course only after a break of 30 days.
Scope of application
The procedure is performed in the complex treatment of such diseases:
- migraine;
- neurasthenia;
- various functional disorders of the central nervous system;
- sleep and wakeful periods;
- general overwork;
- KhNZL;
- reduced performance.
Also indications for the course of procedures are burns and wounds on the body, diagnosed trophic ulcers.
Technique and methods of procedure
The procedure assumes two methods of its application - general and local. In the first case( general franklinization), a "shower of 
electrons" is used - the electrodes are combined into a bundle( forming the likeness of a cap connected to the patient's head).In the second - the electrodes are installed locally. Important conditions for the session:
- is prohibited from touching objects;
- on the patient should not be metal objects;Shoes with rubber soles should be removed.
If a general procedure is chosen, the patient sits on a wooden chair, which is located in the center of the cabinet. The corresponding electrodes are connected to it. After the session is over, the discharger removes the formed electric charge from the head electrode.
Local technique is performed when the patient lies on his back. The procedure can be combined with the methods of oriental medicine - acupuncture, aromatherapy.
Patients should remain stationary during the procedure, so that the electrical discharges received by the body act with maximum efficiency on certain areas. Special machines can act immediately on two zones, which reduces the recovery time.
Contraindications and limitations of
There are restrictions and prohibitions for the procedure:
- of CNS disease of organic nature;
- suffered a heart attack;
- circulatory disturbance in the brain( the period of the first 3 months);
- bronchial asthma;
- pneumonia( acute).
Increased sensitivity to ionization is also a contraindication to the procedure.
Thus, the technique is one of the best in the case if it is necessary to eliminate neurological problems.
