Magnetotherapy

The applied magnetic fields used in medicine are either low frequency or very low frequency fields (0-100 Hz) with variable intensities of between 5 and 100 gauss (ELF = extremely low frequency).

These are “variable” magnetic fields, that is to say, they are produced by inputting a variable current into the circuit (the solenoid), which can be modified to generate different types of waveforms and therefore create different types of magnetic fields. The most important phenomenon evident in biological tissue exposed to a pulsated magnetic field is the contextual rise of induced micro-currents.

But how do these micro-currents interact with the body? An injurious event, a trauma for example, determines a de-polarization of these proteinaceous structures with a reduction in the transmembraneous electric potential of the cell. The micro-currents induced by magneto-therapy re-polarize the biopolymers and therefore re-establish the correct electric potential, accelerate ionic movements, reactivate enzymatic kinetics and, in short, reintegrate the tissular function.

Generally speaking it has been demonstrated that the use of :

1. Medium intensities of magnetic fields, above 40 gauss, largely has an anti-edemigene effect and causes the stimulation of tissular repair, therefore proving useful in acute pathologic conditions either as an "attack" therapy or for chronic resistant problems.
2. Low intensities, of less than 30 gauss, has a lissive effect and induces increased hematic flow for opening the pre-capillary sphincters and enlarging the circulatory bed (probably also mediated by stimulation of the hypothalamus) as well as an analgesic effect;

MAIN INDICATIONS

• Patients with cardiac rhythm disorders
• Presence of metal prostheses (screws, cramps, pins) or clips (that are ferromagnetic)
• Patients fitted with pacemakers
• Dermatitis: slight rosacea – of greater or lesser intensity,
• Epileptic patients even when undergoing pharmacological treatment;
• Neuro-vegetative system pathologies;
• Patients with general nervous disorders (hysterical or anxious-depressed subjects);
• Pregnancy
• Patients with particularly heavy menstrual cycles: the vasodilating effect of magneto-therapy may further increase an already heavy flow.
• Open hemorrhoids and vascular lesions in general: for the same reasons as mentioned in the preceding point.
• Patients fitted with intrauterine devices (spiral).
• Patients with mycotic infections.
• Other secondary effects may arise due to commonly occurring manifest hypersensitivity to electro-magnetic fields. This produces quite variable symptomatology which may consist of slight or marked asthenia, irritation, metal tastes and/or insomnia,
• Fever or thermoregulation disorders

Magnetic Field Concentrator is an exclusively patented innovation who drastically reduces the electromagnetic contamination generated by solenoids for magnetic therapy – an appreciable improvement in both quality and safety in the workplace.

The instrumental measurements showed that using the MFC patent the electromagnetic pollution of the surranding space is reduced by more than 85%.
