Description
With our Magnetic Head, attention has turned to injuries of soft tissues, such as nerve, muscle, and tendons, and the pain from such injuries. Magnetic fields have some advantages over electric fields, and can be used for treating both soft and hard tissues simultaneously. Each tissue responds to a different frequency or pulsation of the wave form used. Effects of pulsed magnetic fields for injury rehabilitation are:
- Enhancement of capillary formation
- Decreased necrosis
- Reduced swelling
- Diminished pain
- Faster and functional recovery
- Reduction and depth, area, and pain in skin and wounds
- Reduced muscle loss after ligament surgery
- Increased tensile strength of ligaments
- Accelerations of nerve regeneration and functional recovery
The data listed above is referenced in the book, Energy Medicine, the Scientific Basis by James Oschman.
