Magnetoterapia

What is magnetic therapy?

Therapeutic technique consisting of the application of artificial magnetic fields, in the presence of trauma or dysfunction, controlling the frequency and intensity of these fields.
The Earth's magnetic field provides living effective protection against solar radiation.
The intensity of Earth's magnetic field is about 0.5 Gauss currently.
The Earth's magnetic field undergoes major changes.
Living beings are accustomed to this magnetic field and its absence causes serious disorders.
In the astronauts has been observed that being away from Earth's magnetic field, calcium metabolism disturbances occur with development of osteoporosis (Resonance frequency of Proteins, NASA USA,1977).
The magnet is to play on the affected area the Earth's magnetic field to which we are all subject, demonstrating the safety of the technique.
While the magnetic field is 0.5 Gauss and steady, artificial magnetic fields can rise to higher levels (180 Gauss maximum peak power).
You can control the frequency; Field emission either continuously or pulsed; pulse shape (sinusoidal, semisinusoidal, rectified sinusoidal, square etc.) and the application time.
Magnet generally used pulsed magnetic fields with frequencies between 1-100 Hz and minimum intensities 5 Gauss and maximum 100 Gauss.
One distinguishes the application of magnetic fields produced by electric current which constitute itself lamagnetoterapia, of magnetic fields obtained by natural or artificial magnets known as imanterapia.
The magnetic fields applied in medicine are low frequency and low intensity.
Physical Basis of Magnetic

* When electric current passes through a wire generates a magnetic field to said coaxial wire.
* The density of the magnetic field at a given point, It is directly proportional to the distance between the point considered of the wire, corriente.Si of this thread is formed in a spiral helix, you get a solenoid.
* A solenoid is a set of successive magnetic sheets sorted and north-south polarity.
* Said solenoid is governed by the rules or rule Maxwell "Corkscrew" saying "the meaning of the lines of force of the magnetic field generated by a current, determines the movement of a corkscrew which advances in the direction of the current. Inside the solenoid, the magnetic field is uniform and oriented parallel to the axis of the spiral that form.
* The intensity of this magnetic field is calculated: Current = Amps x number of turns (en gauss) / Length (in meters) Solenoid. 1 Gauss = 1 Oesterd. 1 Gauss = 10-4 Tesla.
* The magnetic field generated, It varies depending on the type of current through the solenoid.
* If the current is continuous magnetic field will be continuous. If the current is variable magnetic field so will.
* For treatment effect we seek a pulsating magnetic field, It is using an alternating current circulating through the solenoid.
Mechanism of Action of the Magnetic
The mechanism of action of magnetic fields is simple.
If different parts of the body placed in the area of ​​action of magnetic fields, the magnetic lines passing through these surfaces completely and not just act in the superficial tissues, but they travel throughout the body, including all organs and bones, reaching the absolute depth.
Its application is reached to all cells, sodium and potassium ions found in the cell and the colloidal system.
A change of the electrical potential of the cell membrane originates, It is resulting in a sharp ion exchange.
It improves blood circulation in the vessels and capillaries is observed very well with thermography.
Increase organic defenses, which is one of its main effects.
In recent experiments it demonstrated that the partial pressure of oxygen in tissues can be increased by 1.000% , when magnetic fields acting on them at a particular intensity and frequency.
Ardenne in 1976 He reported that the deficiency states due to lack of oxygen in organic cells, They are much more common than is supposed as a primary cause of many diseases
Therapy with magnetic fields can in these cases:

* Reduce pain.
* Relax the spasm.
* Get antiinflammatory effect, with simultaneous strengthening of the organic defenses and energy recovery

Effects of magnet

* Specific stimulation of calcium metabolism in bone and collagen known as the piezoelectric effect of magnet: It is considered that the bone directs its form and structure based on electrical discharges that create an atmosphere of electronegativity or when deformed electropositivity, looking negative charges and positive convexity in the concavity.

* Antiinflammatory: Hover prostaglandin and histamine.
* Analgesic: Not immediate but lasting.
* Descontracturant.
* Antispasmodic.
* General sedation.
* Pain paradojal: It is the reaction of cell activation, is pain that occurs between the first and fifth day after treatment started.

Indications

* Rheumatism
* Reumatismos periarticulares
* Trastornos of the ossification
* Traumatology
* Peripheral vascular disease
* Sinusitis
* Migraines
* Vertiginous syndromes secondary to disorders of microcirculation.
