MAGNETOTHERAPY - EMFIELD PRO (Zimmer)

HIGH ENERGY INDUCTION THERAPY EMFIELDPRO

THEORETICAL BASIS OF PULSED ELECTROMAGNETIC THERAPY

The human body is a good conductor of magnetic fields. Inside and outside the cells, we have atoms and molecules with a charge. The cell membrane of a living cell also has an electric potential. A cell without an electric potential on the membrane is a dead cell. The membrane charge of normal, healthy cells is higher than the charge of diseased or aged cells. The same applies to bacteria and viruses. Cells with a reduced membrane potential generate too little energy to provide and maintain the necessary intracellular processes.

Electromagnetic fields can pass through cells, tissues, organs, bones without deformation or loss, activating electrochemical reactions of tissues. Stimulation with a pulsed electromagnetic field increases the energy in the cell and improves intracellular processes.

Pulsed electromagnetic field (PEMF) increases the threshold of pain sensitivity, strengthens pain-relieving mechanisms, stimulates the production of opioid peptides and increases the capacity of muscle fibers. The effects of electromagnetic therapy last for a longer time, the pain-relieving effects of the therapy even 7-14 days after the last therapy.

PRESENTATION OF THE EMFIELDPRO DEVICE (ZIMMER)

The EMFIELDPRO device represents the most modern generation of high-energy induction pulse electromagnetic therapy. It can create a magnetic field of up to 3T, which is 600 times stronger than the magnetic field of a conventional magnet.

The device allows for:

• Deep penetration to all structures in the body
• Non-invasive and contactless treatment
• Two applicators for different disease states (3.0 T and 2.5 T, 1 - 100 Hz)
• Therapeutic protocols (Program, Popular, Expert)
• User-friendly interface

Due to the high power of the applicators, a deeper effect and a shorter treatment duration are possible. The therapy is performed according to the selected protocol, static or dynamic, active or passive, with an adjusted magnetic field strength and frequency. The device's superior technical features with great adaptability are a guarantee for good results.

AREAS OF APPLICATION

High-energy induction therapy enhances beneficial physiological processes by accelerating circulation and blood supply to tissues, accelerating regenerative processes, reducing pain and stimulating nerve and muscle cells. The positive effects of the therapy are used in the following areas of application:

• Pain therapy
• Accelerating the regeneration of nerves, tendons, ligaments and muscles
• Increasing the tensile strength of tendons and ligaments
• Reducing muscle mass loss after surgical procedures
• Improving mobility and faster functional recovery
• Increasing circulation, blood supply and capillary blood vessel formation
• Accelerating the healing of bone fractures
• Faster healing of skin wounds
• Reducing inflammatory processes
• Reducing tissue death
• Reducing chronic fatigue
• Reducing urinary incontinence
• Reducing problems due to oversensitive bladder and enlarged prostate.

SIDE EFFECTS

Taking into account the contraindications, there are no or minimal side effects during treatment and they are transient.

DURATION OF TREATMENT

• The length and intensity of treatment depends on the patient's medical condition.
• As a rule, treatment lasts 4-6 weeks. During this period, a total of 6-8 therapies are performed.
• Individual therapies are performed 1-2 times a week. Therapy lasts 20-30 minutes.
• To enhance the effects, emFieldPro treatment can be combined with shock wave therapy (ESWT).
