The magnetic therapy – MFT for short – is an alternative medical treatment. In the method, two different approaches have to be distinguished from each other. So far, the effectiveness of the non-invasive method has remained without scientific recognition. It is assumed that the magnetic field itself causes an effect in the body. It can be assumed that improved circulation stimulates cell metabolism. In addition, alternating magnetic fields generate an electrical voltage in the body, which influences the physical and chemical processes of the cell membrane. In cell cultures, these reactions should have been detectable. Also, the excitation of isolated nerves showed a change in the magnetic field compared to the initial situation. Depending on the effectiveness of the therapy depends on the frequency, strength and waveform of the respective magnetic field. Scientifically proven, however, is the invasive method of magnetic therapy , the so-called electro-osteostimulation. During surgery, the affected area of ​​the bone is electrically stimulated by means of electrodes and coils to improve the healing process of bone fractures and pseudarthrosis. People with pacemakers or electrically controlled implants should never be one magnetic therapy undergo life-threatening drug interactions.

Chinese doctors first used magnetic stones around 2,000 years ago to aid healing. Even Hippocrates or the Romans were convinced of their effectiveness. The Egyptians wore magnetic jewelry that has spread again today. In Europe there was a short phase in the application of magnetic stones by Franz Anton Mesmer in the 18th century. In the meantime, the intensity and frequency of modern programs are dependent on the manufacturer of the magnetic field generator. The offer includes Magnetic Resonance Therapy, Pulsed Signal Therapy and Quatron Magnetic Resonance Therapy. Wellness treatments use static magnetic fields. Bracelet, plasterand InsolesThere are meanwhile permanent magnets. magnetic therapy is said to be helpful in degenerative diseases of the spine and musculoskeletal system, migraine and bone fractures, as well as in inflammatory changes and wound healing disorders. The artificially generated magnetic fields are mainly used to relieve pain, as a first study showed. magnetic therapy It is also used in the treatment of menstrual problems, to strengthen the immune system, in disorders of blood pressure and to improve the structure of cartilage or bone.

For 30 years NMT Nordmeditech offers a versatile therapy system that can be rented or bought. PMT 3006 is suitable for use in medical practices, at the naturopath or at home. The control center of the magnetic field mats is a control unit. In it, the necessary signals are generated and passed on to the coils of the mat. There are 60 therapy programs available. Your selection depends on the desired effect and the affected body region. The mats are available both as a full body mat or in a smaller version for local treatment of leg, arm, hip or spinal discomfort. So-called back and knee applicators are ergonomically adapted to the respective body region by adjustable straps. The user-friendly and safe application is comfortable when sitting or lying down. For the treatment of animals with magnetic field therapy there is the Lumina VET by Kroker. The device certified for veterinary use has 15 programs. For the treatment of dog or horse, it is also suitable for private users. The pulsating magnetic fields are combined with polarized light in this therapy system.
