Indications and contraindications to magnetotherapy, procedure features
Magnetic therapy is an alternative treatment and prevention of many diseases. Such procedures belong to the category of physiotherapy. Before undergoing a course of treatment, it is necessary to familiarize yourself with the indications and contraindications for magnetic therapy, and ideally, obtain the doctor's permission.
Effectiveness of magnetic therapy
Official medicine recognizes magnetotherapy as useful and effective in the treatment of many diseases. Here is a partial list of what this procedure is capable of:
- reduces the intensity of pain and stops the progression of inflammatory processes;
- has a calming effect on the central nervous system, normalizes the psycho-emotional background;
- strengthens the walls of blood vessels;
- destroys fatty deposits;
- removes waste, toxins and excess fluid from the body;
- stops small bleedings.
In addition, the device for low-frequency magnetic therapy is often used for chronic fatigue syndrome. A short course of procedures significantly increases work capacity, increases endurance and promotes greater concentration of attention.
Indications and contraindications to magnetic therapy
This type of treatment is often used for:
- pathologies of the cardiovascular system;
- diseases of the respiratory system;
- disorders of the urinary, digestive, nervous and locomotor systems.
Doctors approve the use of magnetotherapy for the treatment of joints - even in an acute period, the procedure will help relieve pain, quickly restore the mobility of the joint affected by the pathology, and allow the patient to maintain work capacity. Magnetic therapy will also be useful during the rehabilitation period: the soft tissues surrounding the pathological center, as well as the ligaments and tendons will quickly recover - and the person will be able to return to a normal, active lifestyle.
The effect of magnetic therapy in gynecology should be considered separately:
- the production of hormones is activated;
- problems of timely ovulation are solved;
- manages to cope with primary and compensated infertility against the background of diseases of the hormonal system.
There is such a thing as magnetic field deficiency syndrome. In people with this problem, thickening of the blood, a decrease in the speed of blood flow, loss of working capacity, and increased drowsiness are noted. At the same time, no stimulant drugs and even physical exertion do not help. And magnetotherapy sessions successfully cope with the problem, restoring vital activity.
Contraindications to magnetic therapy can be very diverse. When prescribing such physioprocedures, the doctor takes into account the following factors:- the age of the patient (after 70 years, even magnetotherapy of the knee joint cannot be performed, because it can destroy the already fragile bones);
- presence of acute and chronic pathologies (in case of infectious processes, even with long-term remission, physiotherapy is contraindicated);
- general state of health - indicators of blood pressure, heart rate, activity of the respiratory system, and so on.
Absolute contraindications to magnetic therapy:
- hemophilia;
- previously installed endoprostheses;
- liver and kidney failure in acute and chronic form;
- hypertension of the third degree;
- any neoplasms, in particular benign, neoplasms of unknown etiology;
- schizophrenia, manic-depressive psychosis;
- "open" tuberculosis (active phase).
But there are also conditional contraindications - the period of carrying a child, the patient's age up to 2 years and persistently low blood pressure. This means that you should consult a doctor before doing physiotherapy. Only a specialist, having seen the picture and dynamics of the disease and knowing everything about the patient's general state of health, will be able to determine the expediency of the effect of magnetic waves on the body. By the way, the method of magnetotherapy for osteochondrosis is suitable for reducing pain in pregnant women. Such physical procedures help a woman's body prepare for childbirth.
Side effects of pulse magnetotherapy
In the process of research and conducting long sessions, no negative impact of the physical procedure on the human body was found. However, the benefits of magnetic therapy for fractures have been proven by 100% - such physiotherapy exerts its beneficial effect on bone tissue and muscles both through clothing and through a plaster cast. This means that there is no need to wait for the bones to fully grow and the cast to be removed. Regular exposure to magnetic waves will speed up the healing process.
Side effects of pulse magnetotherapy were observed only when magnetic waves were applied to the abdominal area (stomach). The danger lies in the fact that with a hidden ulcerative lesion of the mucous membranes of internal organs, the development of powerful bleeding is possible. If it is necessary to carry out physical procedures in this part of the body, it is recommended to consult a specialist who will decide whether it is possible to do magnetic therapy of the abdomen in a specific case.
