La magnetoterapia è straordinariamente efficace nel riattivare il metabolismo dei tessuti e nello stimolare le strutture scheletriche ed articolari, compromesse da traumi, stress e invecchiamento.
La TENS (Transcutaneous Nerve Stimulation) è ideale per chi desidera alleviare o risolvere problematiche collegate al dolore senza ambizioni di rassodamento o aumento della forza muscolare.
How do TENS devices work?
Nel dettaglio, viene utilizzato un apposito electric generator per erogare impulsi indolori, i quali vengono percepiti dal paziente come una sensazione di formicolio.Un tipico stimolatore TENS è in grado di modulare l’ampiezza dell’impulso, la sua frequenza e l’intensità. Generalmente, la corrente elettrica viene applicata ad alta frequenza (> 50 Hz), con un’intensità sensoriale, o a bassa frequenza (due o più elettrodi, applicati alla pelle con cerotti adesivi riutilizzabili.Gli impulsi consentono di bloccare o ridurre i segnali di dolore che raggiungono midollo spinale e cervello, e possono potenzialmente relieve muscle spasms and other painful symptoms.
What are the benefits of TENS therapy?
The effects generated by the TENS possono essere così riassunti:
- inibizione della trasmissione nocicettiva
- liberazione di endorfine
- modificazione dell’eccitabilità periferica con un conseguente innalzamento della soglia del dolore
In quale casi la TENS è controindicata?
Se il proprio medico o fisioterapista hanno confermato la possibilità di utilizzare questa opzione terapeutica, il paziente deve sapere che la TENS è ben tollerata e sicura. Tuttavia, alcuni pazienti non possono ricorrere a questa opzione terapeutica.
When not one must use the TENS:
- se non si conosce la causa del dolore o se la diagnosi della propria condizione non è stata ancora definita
- in the case of pacemakers or other implanted electrical devices
- se si è affetti da epilessia o da un disturbo del ritmo cardiaco
- se si è affetti da una condizione grave della pelle
La TENS è controindicata anche in pazienti con tumore maligno (in base ad alcuni esperimenti in vitro l’elettricità promuove la crescita cellulare), mentre dev’essere usata con cautela nelle donne in gravidanza.
What are the side effects of TENS?
The side effects più comuni prevedono l’insorgenza di alcune reazioni cutanee, come irritazioni ed arrossamenti, riscontrabili in circa un terzo delle persone. Esistono casi isolati in cui sono riportati diversi altri effetti collaterali, tra cui perdita di sensibilità, dolore o sensazioni sgradevoli (vicino o lontano dal sito di applicazione), cefalea, dolori muscolari, nausea, agitazione e capogiri. Tuttavia, non è chiaro se la TENS sia responsabile dell’insorgenza di questi problemi.
Does magnetotherapy have contraindications?
La magnetotherapy is by far one of the physical therapies with the fewest contraindications.
- A specific risk is present for pacemaker wearers: a machine that produces intense magnetic pulses compromises and can damage the functioning of a pacemaker, so it is absolutely forbidden to use the magnetotherapy in this specific situation.
- In the case of a tumour pathology, the magnetotherapy is contraindicated as it accelerates trophic processes. In the presence of such pathology, any application of electrotherapy is prohibited.
- During the pregnancyAlthough no study has been carried out on the subject so far (as is easily understood), great care is needed, so it is convenient to exclude the use of the magnetotherapy.
As a safety measure, and bearing in mind that each machine has its own specific characteristics in terms of power and frequency, it is advisable to follow the instructions in the instruction manual of each individual apparatus, paying attention to its specific contraindications, to avoid unnecessary risks.
How does magnetotherapy work?
La magnetotherapy high and low frequency works due to the fact that there is a large amount of free ions in our body and electrically balanced molecules like water function as dipoles due to the orientation of their charge.
When these molecules are subjected to a magnetic fieldthe frequency of which is adjusted according to the pathology to be treated. increases movementdue to the effect of the oscillating magnetic fieldmolecules are attracted and then repelled according to their electrical charge.
This extra-movement accelerates the body's chemical processespromotes the action of the sodium-potassium pump and helps to regularise chemical exchanges in tissues where this function is impaired by some chronic or inflammatory disease.
La magnetotherapy also acts on bone tissue, lymphatic tissue and musculature, accelerating trophism and promoting the rehabilitation process.
What are the most important effects of magnetotherapy?
La magnetotherapy has a large set of effects benefits on the human body, let us describe the most important ones:
- relaxing effect on smooth and striated muscles. It acts on muscle contractures, relaxing the fibre, and at the same time decompresses joints on which the affected muscles act, freeing them from excessive pressure. Very effective in pathologies such as effusions or herniated disc.
- analgesic effectthe result of several factors: the muscle tissue relaxation decompresses adjacent tissues, the pain threshold is raised, circulation improves having decreased pressure on arterioles and venules and all this contributes to curbing the inflammatory process.
- osteogenesis. Bone densitometry analyses demonstrate the stimulating effect on trophism that magnetotherapy produces in bone tissue. There is ample evidence that magnetic fields promote calcium fixation in boneswith its many applications in physiotherapy for different pathologies.
