Inductothermy

Inductothermy is a physical therapy treatment that uses an electromagnetic field to heat tissue. This treatment method is widely used in medicine and cosmetology to treat various diseases such as arthritis, osteoarthritis, injuries, back pain, headaches and others.

Inductothermy works by creating an electromagnetic field that induces an electrical current in tissue. This current heats the tissue, which leads to improved blood flow and reduced inflammation. Inductothermy can also help reduce pain and improve joint mobility.

To carry out inductothermy, special devices are used - inductors, which create an electromagnetic field. Inductors can vary in shape and size depending on the application. For example, inducers in the form of a belt or collar are used to treat back pain, and inductors in the form of a ring are used to treat arthritis.

The effectiveness of inductothermy has been proven by numerous studies. It can reduce inflammation, improve circulation, and reduce joint pain. In addition, inductothermy can help speed up the healing process of wounds and reduce the risk of complications.

However, like any other treatment method, inductothermy has its contraindications. For example, it is not recommended if you have a pacemaker, metal implants, or pacemakers. Also, inductothermy should not be performed on pregnant women and children under 18 years of age.

Overall, inductothermy is an effective treatment for many diseases and conditions. However, before starting treatment, you must consult your doctor and make sure there are no contraindications.

Inductotherapy is one of the methods of physiotherapy based on the influence of high frequency currents (30 kHz - 300 kHz) for the purpose of treating various pathologies of the central and peripheral nervous system, joints, muscles and connective tissue formations. This method of therapy belongs to a number of heliophysical ones and has a therapeutic effect through thermal, photochemical and electrochemical effects. The therapeutic effect is achieved by heating the tissue when a sinusoidal current is supplied to the tissue. Inductotherapy is based on the primary process of stimulating thermoregulation processes, creating a protective mechanism aimed at maintaining thermal balance in the tissues of the body and activating metabolic processes in cells.

The main mechanisms of the therapeutic effect of induction are: - **Thermal effect** - a thermomechanical mechanism, where high-frequency electrical energy affects the changing polar dielectrics of molecular structures, their heating, leading to a change in structure and a change in the magnetic properties of tissues. The power of the magnetic field exerted on the patient during the thermotherapy procedure has the greatest impact on heat production in the tissues and their temperature. Thus, induction therapy can have both a thermal effect directly on tissues by heating, and a vasodilator effect (vasoconstrictor when heated and dilates when cooled) on blood vessels
