Principles of biological action

Pulsed magnetotherapy is defined as the action of an artificial magnetic field of certain parameters on the human body. It is a physical therapy in which a low frequency pulsating magnetic field is generated.

As already noted , physiological changes in the tissues occur after the application of low-frequency pulsed magnetic therapy due to pain mitigation and, especially, exclusive capillary and precapillary vasodilatation and the resulting therapeutic effects:

- analgesic - pain relief.

- curative - with stimulation of the regeneration of the

fabrics

- anti-inflammatory- anti-edema

- muscle relaxant- antispasmodic-

decontracting

- vasodilator- improvement in microcirculation

- metabolic and detoxifying- accelerates

degradation of contaminants and metabolites of the

metabolism

By its action, the low-frequency pulsed magnetic field (CMPBF) affects the permeability of cell membranes and causes the acceleration of metabolism and vasodilation of small capillaries and precapillaries at the site of application and, consequently, significantly increases the blood flow and oxygenation of the part of the body to which we apply the CMPBF (improves microcirculation).

The result is an acceleration of metabolic change, a better supply of oxygenated blood and nutrients to exposed tissues, the creation of optimal conditions for physiological healing and the regeneration of damaged tissues. These processes, when interacting, allow for other therapeutic effects mentioned above. Pulsed magnetic field therapy passes through the entire organism, acting on every cell to the full depth of exposed tissue and can therapeutically affect deep and superficial structures during application.

ANALGESIC EFFECT.-

Thanks to electromagnetic induction, CEMP regulates the formation of current in nerve fibers. This induced current blocks the passage of pain sensation from the point of pain, through the spinal cord, and to the brain centers. The result of this and other mechanisms is the suppression of pain. These other mechanisms include, among other things, increased endorphin production and suppression of inflammation and edema. In addition, the muscle relaxant mechanism is also applied, that is, the release of muscle tone (tension). Increased endorphin regulation and regulation of calcium ion transport across the cell membrane also contribute to vasodilatation, analgesic effect, and sedation. An increase in lactate dehydrogenase activity was demonstrated in exposed muscle after CEMP application. Lactate dehydrogenase regulates the breakdown of lactic acid, which stimulates nerve receptors and causes pain.

VASODILATOR EFFECT

PEMFs with appropriately adjusted parameters act against the so-called Rouleaux effect or "pile of coins" erythrocytes, which carry oxygen in the blood . As a result of the therapy, the erythrocytes are dispersed and thus their oxygen-binding capacity is increased. The blood that has passed through the magnetic field shows a greater capacity to bind oxygen and supply the tissues with it. During the action of the CEMP, the parasympathetic system is activated and the reflux of Ca2 ions is encouraged, relaxing the vascular muscles (mainly the pre-capillary sphincters) with the consequent vasodilation.

The application of CEMP influences the muscle tone of vessels, arteries and capillaries.

HEALING-REGENERATING EFFECT

The healing and regenerative effect of CEMP on bone and soft tissue is explained by a non-specific stimulation of the cytoplasmic (cellular) membrane. The metabolic chain is activated in this membrane, whose key point is the change in the cAMP and cGMP ratio, that is, the change in the ratio between cyclic adenosine monophosphate and cyclic guanosine monophosphate. Using the regenerative effect on the bones, the application leads to an increase in osteoclasts and drives the subsequent process of bone tissue regeneration. CEMP significantly accelerates healing, activates the formation of new tissue, calcification and increases the sensitivity of parathyroid hormone, which among other things helps control the level of calcium in the body. Better blood circulation through the tissue and greater oxygen saturation help to reduce inflammation in all tissues more quickly, while enhancing the effect of eventual antibiotic treatment.

Healing of damaged peripheral nerves is also significantly accelerated, by stimulating the regeneration of neurofibrils (fibers in neurons) and the growth of central axons (cell-derived fibers).

MY RELAXING EFFECT

The action of CEMP accelerates the action of the elimination of acid metabolites that cause painful irritation of the muscles and in the areas of chronic inflammation. Elimination of these metabolites is due to improved perfusion (tissue flow) and increased lactate dehydrogenase activity, which leads to the breakdown of lactic acid. Thanks to the application of CEMP, muscle spasms (cramps) are significantly reduced. In addition, the therapy reduces radicular (root) irritation that often causes tingling and burning stinging pain. By suppressing pain, PEMFs modulate reflex changes in the body. By modifying these body reflexes, muscle spasms or contractures and cramp subside. The result of this relaxation is further pain relief. Therefore, the application of CEMP leads to relaxation of the skeletal muscles and improves mobility. This improvement in movement will allow an extension of the therapy, for example, implanting equally easy rehabilitation exercises.

DETOXIFYING METABOLIC EFFECT

PEMFs penetrate evenly into the tissue and is one of the few methods that can also be applied to areas with internal inflammation. The CEMPs act in the area of application of each cell and drive weak electrical currents in it. Thanks to this induction of electric currents, changes are produced in the surface potentials of the cells. The foundation of each detoxification process is a better supply of nutrients and a better elimination of metabolic waste in the tissues. The main detoxifying organ in the body is the liver, so it is recommended to focus on it during CEMP applications. Sufficient hydration also contributes to improving liver activity. Liquids that have been subjected to magnetization can be used for this. This is a process in which the action of the CEMP on the water changes its structures. among other things, this water has a better capacity to bind oxygen molecules and is softer, so it dissolves and eliminates waste products and other metabolites better.

(ref. Peter Bednarcik, M.D.)

The advantage of pulsed magnetic field applications is that there is no possibility of harmful side effect from electric current as can occur with direct contact electrotherapeutic methods.

The biological changes in the tissues that originate due to the action of the low frequency pulsed magnetic field can be used positively in a whole series of health problems.(*)

In the last 15 years, scientific evidence and clinical studies have been provided in thousands of publications around the world, where the therapeutic effectiveness of Pulsating Electromagnetic Fields (CEMP) is demonstrated.

Magnetotherapy is statistically demonstrating the highest level of efficiency of all physical therapy methods, however, in Spain until the 2000s it did not begin to be integrated in a decided way into medical treatment protocols.
