Magneto therapy
1. Treatment theory
A PEMF machine is a device that uses Pulsed Electromagnetic Field therapy (PEMF) to deliver electromagnetic waves to the body. It is often used for therapeutic purposes and is believed to stimulate the body's natural healing processes. The electromagnetic waves generated by the PEMF machine can penetrate deep into the body and help promote pain relief, reduce inflammation, improve circulation, enhance cell regeneration, and support overall well-being. 2. Indications
(1) Degenerative joint diseases
Signs of wear and tear, e.g. arthrosis (knee, hip, hands, shoulder, elbow), herniated disc, spondylarthrosis.
(2) Pain therapy
(Chronic) pain, e.g. back pain, lumbalgia, tension, radiculopathies, heel pain.
Inflammation Reduction: By modulating cellular activity and promoting blood flow, it may assist in reducing swelling, stiffness, and discomfort associated with inflammation.
Improved Circulation: By improving the flow of blood to tissues and organs, it may support cellular health and contribute to overall wellness.
Accelerated Healing: It is believed to stimulate cell regeneration, enhance tissue repair, and promote bone healing.
(3) Sport injuries
(Chronic) inflammation of tendons and joints, tendon overload syndrome, osteitis pubis.
(4) Relaxation and Stress Reduction:The gentle electromagnetic waves can have a calming effect on the body, helping to alleviate tension and induce a sense of well-being.
3. Contraindiction
Vascular diseases present in or near the treatment area
Local infections in the treatment area
Around malignant or benign tumours
Directly on cartilage surfaces or near the small facet joints of the spinal column
Directly over implanted electronic devices such as pacemakers, analgesic pumps, etc.
In areas, in which mechanical energy in the form of vibrations may lead to tissue damage such as metal implants after a fracture
4. Precautions to be taken before treatment
If there is only a pure metal object in the vicinity of the treatment site, vibration and heat will occur depending on the distance of the metal object. If there is an implanted circuit in the body, such as a pacemaker, or other circuit device. Strong magnetic fields can cause power failures or damage internal chips.
ID cards, car keys, access cards, and other wireless devices near the
magnetic ring will be damaged.
Before changing the loop handpiece, make sure to turn the machine OFF. Never change the loop handpiece while machine is running.
Before turning the machine on, always make sure the loop handpiece is connected.
Each loop handpiece should not be used for more than 30 minutes
continuously.
