WHAT IS THE TREATMENT?
Treatment at ECOM is performed on an outpatient basis and is painless. The treatment loop

is positioned on the body region to be treated without having to remove clothing. Direct skin

contact is not necessary. The pulse strength is individually adjusted according to the clinical

picture. Cardiac pacemakers are an absolute contraindication! In individual cases,

endoprosthesis carriers can be treated after prior consultation with a physician.

Magnetotherapy

Magnetotherapy is a non-invasive treatment technique that uses magnetic fields to improve the

patient’s health and well-being by helping to stimulate healing and reducing pain. The technique has

long been used in alternative medicine, and more and more physical therapists are incorporating it into their practices.

How does magnetotherapy work?

Magnetotherapy works by using magnetic fields to stimulate healing in the body. These can penetrate

the soft tissue of the body and reach the bones, making them a useful tool for treating muscle and bone injuries.

When the therapy is applied, magnetic fields penetrate the body and stimulate the flow of blood and oxygen to the affected area.

What conditions can be treated with magnetotherapy?
Magnetotherapy can be helpful in treating a variety of conditions, including:

– Muscle injuries: It can help reduce pain and inflammation in injured muscles, speeding recovery.

– Bone injuries: This procedure can help stimulate healing in fractured or injured bones.

– Arthritis: It is able to help reduce pain and inflammation in joints affected by arthritis.

– Chronic pain: It can be useful in the treatment of chronic pain, including back pain, neuralgia and headache.

– Sports injuries: It is able to help reduce inflammation and speed up recovery after sports injuries.

– Circulation problems: This therapy can improve blood circulation in the body, which can help treat

conditions such as peripheral vascular disease.

– Depression and anxiety: Transcranial magnetic therapy is able to help treat depression and anxiety by

stimulating certain areas of the brain.

It is important to note that magnetic therapy is not a cure for these conditions, but it can be an

effective tool for reducing symptoms and improving patients’ quality of life. It is always recommended

that the patient consult with a doctor before starting any alternative treatment.

How is magnetotherapy performed?
Magnetotherapy can be performed in several ways, depending on the type of injury or ailment

being treated. The devices used for magnetotherapy can range in size and shape, from small

portable devices to large tabletop devices including pads, coils, belts and blankets.

The choice of device will depend on the specific area of the body being treated and the depth

of tissues you want to reach. For example, pads and coils are more suitable for treating specific,

superficial areas of the body, such as the knees, while magnetic blankets are more useful for

treating larger areas, such as the back or legs. In addition, magnetic belts can be used to treat

ailments in the lower back or abdominal area.

During the magnetotherapy session, the patient sits or lies on a comfortable surface and the

device is placed on the affected area. The physical therapist adjusts the strength of the magnetic

field to ensure that it is safe and effective for the patient. The duration of the session can

vary depending on the ailment, but usually lasts between 20 and 30 minutes, depending on the

condition and severity of the injury.
