Magnet therapy device in physiotherapy
Magnet therapy device is one of the modern devices for improving and relieving joint and knee pain in physiotherapy. This device performs its treatment process using magnetic fields with different intensity and frequency. The magnet therapy device is one of the physiotherapy treatment equipments, which treat the injured area by focusing on artificial magnetic fields of different intensity and frequency (according to the diagnosis of the physiotherapist).
Magnetic therapy is a physical therapy method based on the use of magnetic fields on the injured body. The principle of its operation is the effect of magnetic fields on human cells, which accelerates their metabolism and stimulates regeneration processes.
The use of magnetic therapy is recommended according to the orthopedic specialist’s diagnosis, after knee surgery, knee joint replacement; Because this method has a high ability to accelerate the processes of tissue repair and regeneration, as well as restoring the function of organs and body systems.
Choosing a magnet therapy device
As you noticed above, the magnet therapy device is one of the modern and important physiotherapy equipments, which is based on the use of magnetic fields with different intensity and frequency. This treatment method can be performed using low-intensity and high-intensity devices according to the patient’s problem.
Low-intensity devices are used to treat diseases such as osteoporosis, sciatica, and diseases of the musculoskeletal system.
High-intensity devices are used to treat serious diseases and relieve pain in the musculoskeletal system, such as knee pain, injury recovery, tunnel syndromes, degenerative processes, and many others.
Application of magnet therapy device
The use of magnet therapy device is very wide and this treatment method is used to improve various orthopedic diseases according to the doctor’s diagnosis and discretion. In the following, we refer to the uses of this device.
Musculoskeletal system diseases: This device is used to improve musculoskeletal diseases such as osteochondrosis, arthritis, sciatica, spondylosis and bone and joint injuries.
Circulation disorders: Another use of this device is to heal varicose veins and high blood pressure.
Diseases of the nervous system: this method is even effective for treating depression, headache, and sleep disorders.
Digestive tract diseases: Another use of this device is to treat digestive tract diseases such as gastritis, gastric ulcer and colitis.
Respiratory system diseases: Magnetic therapy can help in the treatment of asthma, bronchitis and pneumonia.
At the end of this discussion, it should be said that magnetic therapy can be used as an independent treatment method or in combination with other methods such as massage, physiotherapy and drug treatment. The advantage of the magnet therapy device is that it does not have side effects and does not cause allergic reactions.
Types of magnet therapy devices
The magnet therapy device is classified in different types and based on different criteria. A common classification of this device is based on being fixed and portable.
Fixed devices are often used in physical therapy centers and are more effective and adjustable compared to the portable type. Mobile devices have limited domestic uses.
These devices can be divided according to the frequency of magnetic fields. Based on this criterion, it is classified into two types of magnet therapy with low frequency and magnet therapy with high frequency.
1. Low frequency magnet therapy
The low-frequency magnet therapy device uses magnetic fields with a frequency of less than 100 Hz. This method is usually used to treat pain syndromes such as knee pain, osteoporosis, arthritis and other diseases of the musculoskeletal system. In addition, it can be used to improve blood circulation and accelerate tissue repair after injury.
2. High frequency magnet therapy
In contrast, high-frequency magnetotherapy uses magnetic fields with a frequency of more than 100 kHz. This method is usually used to treat diseases related to the deterioration of the nervous system, such as migraines and depression. High frequency magnetic therapy is also prescribed to strengthen the immune system and improve overall health. One of the main differences between these two methods of magnet therapy device is the tissue penetration depth. High-intensity, low-frequency magnetic therapy has greater penetration depth, allowing it to reach deeper tissues. On the other hand, high-frequency magnetic therapy does not penetrate deep into the tissues, but due to the high frequency, it can penetrate more tissues.
It should also be noted that low-intensity magnetotherapy is used to treat pain and inflammation, while high-intensity magnetotherapy is used to stimulate tissues, improve blood circulation and reduce swelling.
Treatment at Mahan physiotherapy clinic with magnet therapy method
Magnet therapy or magnet therapy is a method in which, by using magnets, they provide health and treat diseases. The human body and the Earth naturally create electric and magnetic fields. Electromagnetic fields can also be created artificially, such as radio and television waves. In Mahan Clinic, magnet therapy is used by specialists in this field to treat the pains of your loved ones.
