MagnetoTherapy Explained

Magnetotherapy is a healing method that involves the use of alternating low-frequency and constant magnetic fields. This therapeutic approach has proven to be effective in addressing various health issues. It's important to note that over the past three decades, clinically controlled studies have helped identify the specific magnetic fields that are therapeutically effective.

These fields fall under the category of Extremely Low Frequency (ELF) magnetic fields, characterized by their low frequencies (typically less than 100 Hz) and low intensities (usually not exceeding 100G). Magnetotherapy, a traditional and non-invasive treatment, is particularly beneficial in promoting the healing of fractures and slowing down the reduction of bone density associated with osteoporosis.

Pulsed Electromagnetic Fields influence cellular behavior by inducing electrical changes both around and within the cells. This, in turn, enhances blood circulation, increases oxygen supply, and stimulates cell regeneration. Additionally, improved calcium transport facilitates better calcium absorption in bones and enhances the quality of cartilage in joints, leading to a significant reduction in pain. This therapy has the potential to alleviate acute and chronic pain, including pain caused by osteoporosis.

As you may already know, magnets have two poles - south and north. Skillful magnet application can either strengthen or weaken the flow of energy, ultimately improving the body's energy balance. The key is the accurate placement of magnets along meridians or influential areas.

There are three well-established physical mechanisms through which pulsed magnetic fields interact with living organisms:

• Magnetic induction
• Magnetomechanical effects
• Electronic interactions

Summarizing the data on physiological and pathophysiological responses to magnetic field exposure, it's important to note that these effects are not specific. Magnetic fields can elicit a range of activities, such as vasodilation, analgesic (pain-relieving) action, anti-inflammatory effects, spasmolytic (muscle-relaxing) activity, acceleration of the healing process, and anti-edematous (reduction of swelling) activity.
