A light-thermal bath is a device that is used to treat various diseases of the musculoskeletal system and nervous system. It is a semi-cylindrical body, on the inside of which there are incandescent electric lamps emitting visible and infrared light. This light has high penetrating power and is able to penetrate into the deep layers of skin and tissue.
When using a light-thermal bath, tissues are heated, which helps improve blood circulation and metabolism. In addition, infrared radiation has an anti-inflammatory and analgesic effect, and also improves tissue elasticity.
The light-thermal bath is widely used in physiotherapy in the treatment of diseases of the spine, joints, muscles and nerves. It is also used for rehabilitation after injuries and operations, as well as in cosmetology for skin rejuvenation.
To obtain the maximum effect from using a light-thermal bath, it is necessary to correctly select its power and duration of the procedure. The following parameters are usually recommended: lamp power – 50-60 W, procedure duration – 10-15 minutes.
In conclusion, we can say that a light-thermal bath is an effective tool in the treatment of many diseases and disorders of the musculoskeletal system. When used correctly, it can significantly improve the patient's condition and speed up the healing process.
Light-Thermal Bath – Indications for use
Light-melting baths are widely used in cosmetology to improve the condition of the skin, as well as in physiotherapy to treat certain diseases of the musculoskeletal system. The course of treatment is up to 15–20 procedures lasting from 3 to 6 minutes.
Light-Thermal Bath: indications: - Radiculitis - Neuralgia - Gastritis - Peptic ulcer of the stomach and duodenum in remission - Myositis and myalgia - Muscle wasting - Skin diseases (dermatitis, eczema, scleroderma) - Postoperative rehabilitation. Contraindications: Pregnancy Lactation Acute inflammatory processes Acute thrombophlebitis General contraindications for electrotherapy. The Light and Warm Bath apparatus refers to therapeutic physical factors. Light and heat therapy uses light and heat energy from visible and infrared radiation. The therapeutic effect is associated mainly with irradiation with electromagnetic radiation in the infrared range and thermal energy and has a positive effect on the functional state of the body, increasing its reserve capabilities, and significantly improves energy metabolism. This helps reduce pain, swelling and inflammation.
