CMT - physiotherapy. Apparatus for physiotherapy. Physiotherapy SMT - what is it?

By physiotherapy is understood as one of the ways of treatment, in which non-chemical factors (medications) are applied, but physical. For example, they include a laser, an ultrasound, a magnetic field, currents, and so on. When carrying out procedures, special apparatuses for physiotherapy are used. Indications for prescription are almost all pathologies of internal organs. Contraindications are of an individual nature.

Advantages of treatment

Due to such an effect, the period of getting rid of many pathologies is significantly reduced, the prevention of relapses and complications of diseases is carried out. Physiotherapy does not cause side effects, peculiar to drug treatment. During the procedures, the effect of the medications taken is noted, which in turn significantly reduces their dosage and duration of administration, and in some cases makes possible the complete abandonment of pharmacological agents.

Methods of physiotherapy. Treatment with electric current

Electrotherapy involves the use of a constant or pulsed current. Apply and the effect of an electromagnetic field of different frequencies. Methods of treatment using electricity are different. Each of them is characterized by certain features.

Galvanization is a procedure during which a continuous electric current of low voltage (from 30 to 60 V), low force (up to 50 mA), constant amplitude and direction takes place. It is recommended for lesions and pathologies of peripheral and central nervous systems, with traumas, disorders of the digestive system. The indications include a number of inflammatory diseases in the chronic course, circulatory disorders.

By means of a constant electric current, medication is administered through the mucous membranes and the skin. Drug electrophoresis, therefore, involves the action of two factors: a specific medicine and galvanic current.

Pulse action

When performing procedures, the effect of the current can be inhibitory (analgesic, for example) or stimulating (muscle stimulation). It depends on the shape of the pulse (it can be rectangular, half-sine or sinusoidal), frequency and duration. Diadynamic therapy involves the use of DC currents with a half-sinusoidal shape. The frequency is 50 and 100 Hz. In the course of procedures, combinations of pulses can also be used.

If we consider the general nature of the effect, diadynamic therapy has little difference from galvanization. However, the impulsive nature that a constant current has in the first case provides a deeper penetration into the muscle tissue. In this regard, in the process of exposure, the analgesic effect is manifested.

Electrosleep is a neurotropic pulse electrotherapy. The effect is on subcortical brain structures. By synchronizing pulses and biorhythms in the central nervous system, inhibition processes are activated and sleep sets in. This method is used in the treatment of children with sleep disorders, mental and nervous pathologies. Indications include and enuresis, atopic dermatitis.

Treatment with low frequencies. Physiotherapy with CMT

What is this impact? This type of treatment involves the use of a modulated sinusoidal audio frequency current . Pulse series, for which a change in the frequency of modulations, pauses and durations is available, are called sinusoidal modulated currents.

CMT in medicine is used to facilitate deep penetration into tissues. In the process of exposure, the intensity of the pain syndrome decreases. Especially effective is CMT-physiotherapy for children. The responses of many parents testify not only to the high effectiveness of this treatment, but also about its safety. During a relatively short period, the manifestations of a number of pathologies of the respiratory system, dysfunction of the bladder of a neurogenic nature, enuresis are eliminated.

Mioelectrostimulation is CMT-physiotherapy, used to correct the functional state of nerves and muscles. One example is the implantation of a miniature pacemaker, which provides the delivery of rhythmic impulses to the heart against the background of the blockade of its conducting paths. In addition, this method of treatment is used for muscle and nerve pathologies.

Fluctuorization and interference therapy

SMT-physiotherapy with the use of variable sinusoidal current of a small voltage and force with a frequency and amplitude changing in a chaotic manner is recommended for diseases of the nervous system (peripheral) accompanied by pain syndrome. Indications include inflammatory pathologies of the surface type (arising on the skin).

Interference therapy is a complex action of two electric currents with the same amplitude and average different frequencies. Pulses are injected by means of two or more pairs of electrodes so that their interference occurs (superimposition and amplification) inside the tissue. Such treatment is recommended for patients with injuries and pathologies of bones and muscles (with ligament damage, for example), CNS, with enuresis, pain syndromes.

Treatment using a medium frequency current

Darsonvalization is the impact on specific areas of the body using electric alternating current with low frequency, high voltage, small strength and impulsive character. Corona discharge (type of gas discharge) acts as an acting factor. It occurs between a special electrode and the surface of the body. With a small air gap, the corona discharge is quiet, with a significant spark - spark. Both of these types are used in the treatment of a sufficiently large number of pathologies. In particular, the indications include neuralgia, varicose veins, neuritis, affecting the auditory nerve, hypertension. The effect of migraine, vegetovascular dystonia, prostatitis, long-term healing wounds is recommended.

Ultrasound treatment is CMT-physiotherapy with the use of a current of small force, high voltage and frequency. The active factor, as in the case of darsonvalization, is the corona discharge. However, with ultrasound treatment, the effect causes less painful sensations.

Dynamic electroneurostimulation is the impact of current pulses, whose shape is set in accordance with the values of the absolute electrical resistance of the skin surface below the electrode. During the procedure, local effects occur. However, the impact can extend to a large area. DENS is recommended for patients with various neuralgias, motor disorders, osteochondrosis, traumatic injuries.

Ultra-high frequency treatment

This effect on the body is carried out mainly with the use of an electromagnetic field of ultrahigh frequency with a wavelength of 1 to 10 m. The active factor is an alternating field capable of penetrating to great depths. The effect is accompanied by the release of heat in the tissues. This is due to vibrations of charged particles.

In addition, there is an oscillatory effect, which is an orientational displacement of dipole molecules - glycolipids, water-soluble proteins, phospholipids, glycoproteins. This, in turn, contributes to a change in their physical and chemical properties, affects the enzymatic and free radical reactions in tissues. UHF is prescribed for chronic and acute inflammatory pathologies of internal and ENT organs, urinary, musculoskeletal and respiratory systems.

Apparatus for physiotherapy

These devices are used to provide medical treatment with the use of laser radiation, magnetic field, electric current, heat and other. The device "Darsonval" is used since the end of the 19th century. One of the characteristic effects in the use of equipment is the vegetovascular reaction. It develops on the principle of an axon reflex and is accompanied by an increase in microcirculation, the expansion of capillaries and arterioles.

In addition, there is a decrease in blood pressure, eliminated vascular spasms, changes the permeability of the walls of blood vessels. It should be noted that the spasmolytic effect is observed not only in the areas exposed, but also in segmentally related regions and in internal organs. With cardiac pathologies, the use of the device improves myocardial nutrition, dilates the coronary vessels, normalizes the rhythm in the background of tachycardia in patients with IHD of moderate severity.

Apparatus "Amplipluss"

This is a versatile multifunctional device for SMT treatment used in polyclinics. The device has 4 independent channels. This allows to influence simultaneously several procedural fields. The main types of treatment include anesthesia, vasodilator, hypotensive, anti-inflammatory effects. In addition, there is anti-edematous, trophicosimulating, absorbable effect.

Indications

Procedures are recommended for patients with severe pain syndrome, vascular disorders, exudative inflammatory processes. Indications include degenerative-dystrophic processes, phenomena of hypotrophy. The device also has electropuncture mode. This allows to affect the biocurrents with sinusoidal simulated currents (CMT-physiotherapy). The patients' testimonies attest to the high effectiveness of the treatment. They note a significant improvement in the condition. According to many patients, CMT-physiotherapy does not cause side effects, typical for pharmacological drugs. The effect of simulated currents is tolerated satisfactorily by patients of different ages.

Contraindications to treatment with the use of electric current

All procedures are performed in accordance with the established diagnosis. With a number of pathologies, electrotherapy is not prescribed. Such diseases, in particular, include malignant tumors, cardiac arrhythmias, severe disorders in the circulation. Among the contraindications are diseases accompanied by high body temperature, inflammatory processes of acute course. This type of treatment is not prescribed for patients with a predisposition to thrombosis.
