Magnetic therapy in osteochondrosis of the spine at home

Magnetotherapy – a method of physical therapy, involving the effects of magnetic field. Successfully used in medicine for treatment of different diseases. Special popularity of magnetic therapy in osteochondrosis of the spine.

The effectiveness of the procedure

Magnetotherapy eliminates unpleasant symptoms and prevents the progression of disease. Suitable as a preventive and rehabilitation measures. Under the action of the magnet in the cells of the body there are specific physico-chemical reaction, in which:

• Stimulates metabolism;
• Improves microcirculation of blood and lymph;
• Blood vessels dilate;
• Reduces the viscosity of blood and lymph;
• Removed inflammation and spasms;
• Toxins, toxins and excess fluid;
• Puffiness disappears;
• Eliminates dizziness;
• Normal blood pressure;
• Improves the supply of nutrients and oxygen to the brain;
• Blocked nerve receptors, thereby reducing the sensitivity and weaken pain;
• Relaxes the muscles of the back, which helps to eliminate stiffness, elasticity of joints and mobility of the spine;
• Activates the processes of cell division, normalize the functioning of all internal organs;
• Stop the destructive processes in the spine;
• Neytralizuya free radicals;
• Slow down the aging process;
• Regenerate damaged tissue;
• Increases efficiency;
• Strengthens the immune system.

The action of the magnet varies depending on the localization of the pathological process. Magnetic therapy in osteochondrosis of the cervical relieves nausea, vertigo, tinnitus and pain when turning the head. When breast osteochondrosis, restores the functioning of the digestive system, and lumbar – fixes problems in the urinary tract and lower extremities.

Unlike other physiotherapy techniques, the use of the magnet in osteochondrosis possible in the acute phase of the disease, as the procedure is absolutely painless and safe.

It is suitable for patients of all ages, has a minimum of contraindications and allows to obtain a stable effect. Magnetotherapy can even be used when other methods of physical therapy are contraindicated. Done in the clinic and at home.

Contraindications

Despite the tremendous benefits of the procedure and the soft effect of the magnet, some patients will have to abandon it.

Contraindications magnetic therapy:

• Individual intolerance of the procedure;
• The blood clotting;
• Serious abnormalities of the heart;
• Tuberculosis in the active stage;
• Mental illness;
• The presence of purulent inflammation;
• The presence of implanted electrical devices (magnetic field is able to disrupt the functioning of the device);
• Malignant and benign tumors;
• A strong depletion of the body;
• Fever;
• Pregnancy and lactation;
• Age less than fifteen years.

The principle of operation

Before prescribe treatment, the physiotherapist examines the patient and asks clarifying questions. On the basis of information received, it chooses the best exposure.

Depending on the goals of therapy can use magnetic fields with different parameters.

In modern clinics, there are various devices for carrying out magnetic therapy. In physical therapy offices typically stationary devices. They have a remote control that allows you to change basic settings in accordance with individual characteristics of the patient.

The treatment is carried out in two ways:

• Magnet only affects the damaged area of the spine;
• The system produced a restorative effect on the body.

Quite often medication combined with magnetic therapy, which allowsmost medicines reach your goal. You can also combine magnet therapy with light therapy or hydrotherapy.

How is the procedure?

On the affected area and the physiotherapist tightly fixes the sensors. Then program the device by installing the necessary impact force and duration. After a programmed time the instrument is turned off, which prevents the "overdose".

The treatment consists of 10-25 sessions lasting 10-30 minutes, which are held weekly, or every other day. If necessary, after a two week break, repeat the procedure.

At home

You can carry out the magnetotherapy and at home. With this purpose it is recommended to purchase portable devices: micromagnetic or magnitofona. Micromagnetic form the alternating field. Them with a band-aid fix on the reflex points. Magnitofona form a continuous field. They have a kind of soft plates, which is fixed on the affected area for an extended period of time. You can also use a magnetic belt. Wear it 4 times a day for 30 minutes for three weeks.

All appliances for home use complete with instructions. But prior to beginning therapy it is best to consult with your doctor.

Some "masters" are trying to create a magnetic field using magnets and homemade devices. But such "treatment" is able to instead use to cause harm to the body, as the power of the magnet can be very strong and lead to excessive increases in blood pressure. Special harm it can have when exposed to cervical spine, since the neck is a huge amount of blood vessels that feed the brain.
