NEW POSSIBILITIES IN PHYSIOTHERAPY - MAGNETOLASEROTHERAPY
Journal Title: Fizjoterapia Polska - Year 2008, Vol 8, Issue 1
Abstract
The characteristic progress in science and technology of the 21st century is being accompanied by significant research developments in the field physical medicine. Before our very eyes physics is entering more and more courageously into treatment, broadening the therapeutic armamentarium and also reducing the side effects of pharmaceutical agents in some cases. Particularly in recent years one can observe increasing interest and research concerning therapeutic application of new physical methods, including variable fields, which until now have been underused. One such method is the combined application of lasers and magnetic fields, known as magnetolaserotherapy. Magnetolaserotherapy, the combined action of laser radiation and a variable magnetic field, has led to increasingly wider use of this treatment modality in various fields of clinical medicine and rehabilitation. Document positive effects of the use of the biostimulating laser and variable magnetic field in the control of pain, acceleration of wound healing and strengthening of the immune system have already been positively confirmed in a large number of clinical studies, which directly translates into the duration, quality and patient comfort duringtreatment. The present paper is based on information contained in available publications concerning magnetolaserotherapy and the authors' experience connected with this method. This article is a clear comprehensive review intended for specialists in broadly defined physical medicine.
