Electro-magneto
therapy is similar to curative treatment by
permanent or premier magnet in principle and application.
The Electromagnets have been in use for a long time now.
It is more advanced and effective because healing
magnets are powered with electricity for higher
penetration. The most promising treatment have been
achieved in cases of bone fractures.
Principles and Device
A small
instrument consisting of an iron bar is placed inside a
solenoid-cylindrical coil of insulated wire-connected to
electric current. It works like a magnet after getting
magnetized. Its intensity can be enhanced or reduced with
the help of a regulator and it is static in nature and
shows better performance on AC current rather than DC
current.
Electromagnet
devices are available in oval, square, rectangular or
cylindrical shapes. Due to deeper penetrating power it
accelerates the curative effect, hence reduces the period
of treatment to about one-fourth. Its application is
comfortable and soothing to mind and body. It is
recommended for chronic cases of arthritis, pain,
swellings and bone diseases.
Electromagnets
are complementary to premier magnets for therapeutic
application. The selected pole of the premier magnet is
applied to the diseased part of the body and the
electromagnet is placed near the premier magnet or in
between two premier magnets or on opposite side of the
affected part.
