4T-Magnetic field therapy
Magnetic field therapy is a treatment method that uses magnetic fields to relieve pain and promote healing. It is based on the fact that magnetic fields can influence the flow of energy in the body. The device we use has a field strength of 4 Tesla. Conventional and freely available devices and mats for treatment with magnetic fields have a field strength in the micro-Tesla range (0.000035 Tesla).
This means that our latest generation device generates a magnetic field that is around 10,000 times stronger, making the magnetic field itself ‘perceptible’. In particular, the discharge of the muscle cells causes the muscles to contract, which is desirable depending on the application. In contrast to treatment with shock waves, however, treatment using 4T magnetic field therapy is not perceived as painful.
Magnetic therapy can be used for a variety of conditions, including pain relief for arthritis, regeneration of broken bones and improving circulation. It can also have a supportive effect on certain neurological conditions such as multiple sclerosis or Parkinson’s disease.
Magnetic field therapy can be combined well and effectively with other forms of therapy, in particular diathermy.
In contrast to diathermy treatment, it often takes a little longer for the positive effects to be ‘felt’ by the patient. However, the effects of magnetic field therapy last longer and are often more long-lasting.
In magnetic field therapy, magnetic fields act on the body and generate strong bio stimulation. This is intended to stimulate cell metabolism, increase oxygen exchange and boost blood circulation.
Fields of application:
- Degenerative diseases of the musculoskeletal system
- Spinal column treatment (discitis, lumbago, muscle and fascia complaints)
- Regeneration after bone fractures
- Improvement of blood circulation
- Wound healing disorders
- Arthrosis & Osteoarthritis
- Osteoporosis
- Fibromyalgia
Therapy
Magnetic field therapy is used primarily in the treatment of musculoskeletal complaints and for pain relief. For example, faster healing can be achieved after sports injuries, bone fractures and arthritis
Some studies have also shown promising results in the treatment of chronic pain. Regular use is recommended to achieve the desired effect (at least 10-20 sessions).
Frequency
The frequency of use of magnetic therapy depends on various factors, including the type and severity of the condition and the patient’s individual response to treatment. Generally, therapy is administered at regular intervals, often over several weeks or months. Your doctor can help you create an appropriate treatment plan that meets your specific needs and goals.
It is advisable to undergo magnetic therapy under the supervision of a qualified professional/doctor. The healthcare professional/doctor can consider your medical history, weigh up potential risks and ensure that the treatment is safe and effective. In addition, the healthcare professional/doctor can customise the therapy to your individual needs and support you if you have any concerns or questions.
