Another group of diseases and health problems in which low-frequency magnetic therapy
can be applied with positive results includes endoprosthesis, post-surgery conditions,
fractures, carpal tunnel syndromes and tennis elbow – i.e. post-surgery conditions
of the joints, pseudoarthroses, as well as traumatic neural dissections, etc.
Biomag low-frequency pulsed magnetic therapy is
one of few electrical rehabilitation methods that
provides optimum physical features even if the
body contains metal materials and replacements.
These metal replacements (implants, stents and endoprostheses) are fixed in
tissues and low-frequency pulsed magnetic therapy does not even lead to warming
of these tissues or shifting of the replacements in tissues, which means
it has all the features that allows its use for all types of replacements.
Implants are mostly made of surgical metals and plastics, i.e. special
steel alloys, non-magnetic materials, etc. In no case can magnetic therapy
cause an undesirable reaction if such a material is implanted in the
body; therefore, virtually no contraindications exist in this respect.
Magnetic therapy is mostly used in patients with a
total endoprosthesis of the large joints – knee, hip –
not only during preparation for surgery and then as
support in rehabilitation and recovery, but also after
reoperations as, unfortunately, requests for revision
endoprosthetics are on the increase with the increasing
number of patients with endoprosthesis (i.e. repeat
implantation, repeat joint replacements, etc.)
The aim of magnetic therapy is always to create better metabolic conditions
in tissues, to improve the healing process, accelerate recovery and
restore joint mobility, maintain surrounding tissues in the best possible
condition and thus prevent prostheses and endoprostheses from coming loose.
Use Biomag low-frequency pulsed magnetic therapy to treat fractures and injuries to
bones and cartilages as soon as possible after the injury and surgical treatment.
Low-frequency pulsed magnetic therapy has been demonstrated to accelerate the healing and
regeneration of bones and soft tissues by non-specific irritation of the cell membrane.
This leads to activation of the metabolic chain, in which a change in the ratio of cyclic
nucleotides and increased activation of osteoclasts for bone healing play a crucial role.
Magnetic therapy markedly accelerates the healing
process, as it activates the formation of new
tissue, the rapid building of bone tissue and
calcification, and leads to increased sensitivity
to the parathyroid hormone; it is therefore used to accelerate the healing of fractures,
pseudoarthroses (non-unions), and to strengthen
loose and painful prostheses and other problems.
Pseudo-arthroses – non-unions are a special group of damage
which develops when fractured bones do not heal as expected.
We call such a problem a non-union, when the healing period
twice exceeds the healing time typical for bone or such damage.
Low-frequency pulsed magnetic therapy combined with surgery can be one of few
methods that can significantly modify these hard-to-influence and non-healing
conditions, support the renewal of bone tissue and the development of
calluses, and can finally lead to the curing and liquidation of non-unions.
Low-frequency pulsed magnetic therapy increases levels of proteoglycans.
According to Chvojka, cartilage activity increases by 22
%, which naturally allows the healing and regeneration
of cartilage, which is generally said to be very
hard to influence as far as healing is concerned.
Magnetic therapy can lead to such changes and therefore should be used.
Magnetic therapy should be applied locally to the parts of the body in which the
process is to be initiated; long-term applications lasting for several hours are used.
In carpal tunnel syndrome, the neurovascular bundle and tendons of the
finger flexors are compressed in the narrowed wrist carpal channel.
We are talking about carpal tunnel syndrome, while the actual carpal tunnel is a
narrow passageway bordered by the wrist joint and the outer firm ligament band.
If this area is compressed, the whole neurovascular bundle and particularly the
nervus medianus are compressed, which innervates the remaining part of the hand.
These compressions lead to a whole range of clinical symptoms: pain, inability to grip
an object, swelling and increased sensitivity. These problems often call for surgery.
If low-frequency pulsed magnetic therapy is used in
the initial stage of the problems, it can reverse
the process; in case of optimal conditions, it
can even eliminate the need to undergo surgery.
If the compression process is in an advanced stage and the carpal tunnel can
no longer be cured by rehabilitation treatment and traditional conservative
treatment only, magnetic therapy, by improving the microcirculation, can develop
significantly better conditions for healing and reduces the risk of recurrence.
Tennis elbow or radial epicondylitis develops due to
excessive one-sided overexertion, particularly in athletes
and hardworking individuals. It is a disease of the muscle
and tendon entheses in the elbow joint – enthesopathy.
Physiotherapy, magnetic therapy, etc. play a key role in conservative treatment.
Inflammatory diseases of the tendons and ligaments tend to become chronic
and recur in case of premature exertion of the seemingly cured limb.
Recovery is very important in this case and magnetic therapy offers
a wide range of applications for the whole range of syndromes.
Disorders related to the peripheral nerves, trauma, compression, etc. are another
group of problems for which magnetic therapy can be used as a treatment.
Cutting injuries caused by a sharp object are the most common
cause of partial or complete dissection of the nerves.
Further nerve damage may, of course, result from contusion or
compression caused by fractured bones, from blood clots, etc.
In these cases, treatment is aimed at restoring
the function of the damaged peripheral nerve.
Early surgery (suturing of the dissected parts of the nerve or its elongation,
etc.) is crucial for the success of the treatment, followed by long-term
targeted rehabilitation, in which magnetic therapy can be widely applied and
significantly accelerates the whole process of healing and function restoration.
It has been found in both experiments and clinical studies that the effects of
magnetic therapy accelerate the regeneration of the damaged nerve several times.
Histologically, a significant difference has been found between
a nerve that has been experimentally dissected and subjected
to the application of low-frequency pulsed magnetic therapy,
and a nerve which magnetic therapy has not been applied to.
Up to twenty times more nerve fibres were found at the damaged
site treated by magnetic therapy. Healing of a peripheral
nerve is always a long-term process, therefore, it is
necessary to accelerate this process and support healing.
And that is what low-frequency pulsed magnetic therapy is ideal for.
We apply programs with mainly vasodilatory and healing effects which
stimulate the actual healing and regeneration of the damaged tissue.
