Physiotherapy - this is the oldest direction in medicine, for many years perfectly showing itself in the treatment of dozens of ailments. Magnetotherapy is a relatively new section in physiotherapy, and so far it has not been sufficiently studied. However, it is actively used in medical institutions. Moreover, nowadays various magnetic therapy devices are produced for home use. One of them is the inexpensive, but very effective device "Magnetter". Feedback from those who already use it, note many advantages. But the "Magnetter" has drawbacks, which it is useful to know before you acquire this miracle of medical technology. We offer you detailed information on the method of treatment with this device, about whom he will help, and who will do harm, as well as about what ailments he is really capable of curing.

What is the essence of magnetotherapy?

When you purchase the device "Magnetter" instructions for use are enclosed. In it there is also some information about the method of magnetotherapy, which has been recognized and widely disseminated, although not everywhere yet. For example, in many European countries it is considered pseudoscientific. In the US, even passed a law that prohibits the sale or advertising of any magnetotherapeutic device. But this is theirs, and we have used this method for a long time and quite successfully. It is based on the action of a static magnetic field (not changing in time) on the tissues of the human body. In this case, the occurrence of electric currents is possible in them, which, in turn, change the physical and chemical properties of proteins, enzymes and free radicals. Thus, low-frequency magnetotherapy makes it possible to optimize the course of biochemical processes and metabolic reactions in humans, change the permeability of cell membranes, and form cell membranes. Precisely these principles of influence are used by physicians to rid patients of dozens of diseases.

The device itself somewhat resembles a construction spatula, and in the people it is called "ironing". A cord is mounted in the handy handle of the device. In the working part, on the one hand, there is a mode switch (sinusoidal or pulsating), which is marked on the body with the appropriate conventions. On the other hand, there is also a switch with which you can adjust the induction. The minimum value is 10 mT, the maximum value is 30 mT. On the back of the working part is mounted a light bulb, which lights up whenever the device is turned on.

Especially useful is magnetotherapy for those diagnosed with vegetative-vascular dystonia. Treatment of this syndrome is difficult due to the fact that it is present in many diseases. Patients with such common symptoms as fatigue, headaches, weakness, drowsiness, and interruptions with pressure are observed.
