Magnetic therapy. Indications and contraindications, equipment, benefits and harms of the action: general, in gynecology, for joints in fractures, osteochondrosis, during pregnancy. Reviews

Since ancient times, widely known magnetotherapy, which is a successful and efficient type of treatment and shows a broad spectrum of diseases. A small number of contraindications, adverse effects and no side effects making this procedure popular in medical and home treatment.

What is magnetic

Magnet therapy - treatment of physiotherapy section, which is a directional effect of magnetic fields on the body.

It used in therapeutic and prophylactic purposes for raising energy levels and immune defense system. The technique is simple to use, has a small number of contraindications and low cost.

Magnetic therapy, indications and contraindications that apply for currently active, was known as early as the first century AD. For the first time this procedure was carried out in the ancient world in Asia. The stones found near Magnesia, used in folk medicine for the beneficial effects on the human body.

In Tibet, they were used as an activator of brain activity in Egypt - a fountain of youth in Europe as an anti-inflammatory aid. From the earliest times of the magnets are made accessories, bracelets, pendants and other jewelry. Such decorations contribute to overall beneficial effects on the body and does not require restrictions on the time and place to wear.

The magnet is divided into two types: AC and DC, which distinguish low-frequency and high-frequency subtype. Magnetic therapy is also divided into two types: general and local effects. General procedure covers the whole body, while the spot focused on a small area of ​​the body.

The beneficial therapeutic effect achieved by the positive direction of action (Southern) and negative (north) pole on the patient's body.

The action of the magnet on the body

The effect that magnetic therapy on the body due to the influence of magnetic fields. They can bring both benefit and harm to humans. Impact fields on an organism can be advantageous only for the combined treatment.

Magnetic auxiliary procedure is only assigned physician. The magnetic field is generated in a continuous or discontinuous form in pulse technique with various frequency, shape and length signals.

The magnets on the human body:

• Increased blood flow velocity, whereby the tissues and organs are supplied with nutrients and oxygen.
• The acceleration of the absorption of protein.
• Proofreading hormone production.
