Magnetotherapy uses electromagnetic fields for therapeutic purposes.
It is used in osteoporosis, in delayed consolidation and pseudoarthrosis, in affections with loss of substance and in painful outcomes of muscle, tendon and joint trauma, for degenerative and inflammatory rheumatism, and in fibromyalgia.
It has antiphlogistic and antiedemigenous action, and a stimulating effect in tissue repair.
Magnetotherapy is being applied with considerable success to combat all those conditions where the use of endogenous thermotherapy is not possible (e.g., for wearers of synthetic means or old metal prostheses).
In fact, magnetotherapy devices use a solenoid run by electric current as the source of the magnetic field.
It is indicated for recent fractures and delayed consolidation, pseudoarthrosis, osteoporosis and Sudeck’s disease, and arthropathies of an inflammatory and degenerative nature.
