So, What is it?

Magnetotherapy is a physical therapy based on the application of specific magnetic fields on the human body, indicated for the treatment of pain and also of inflammations and oedemas. Clinical studies have demonstrated that magnetotherapy can be effective in the treatment of osteoporosis and to promote both fracture sealing and soft tissue repair and healing.

The functioning of ASA Magnetotherapy, based on the scientific principles of ELF (Extremely Low Frequency 1–100 Hz) pulsed magnetic fields, is characterized by low frequency and low intensity. It can be used, even in automatic mode, either by itself or in combination with other therapies, it can be applied in many fields: Physical therapy, Rheumatology, Sports Medicine, Orthopaedics, Traumatology, Geriatrics.

Magnetotherapy works in presence of orthopaedic braces, casts, or external and internal fixation devices, after a specialized evaluation. The treatment can be applied with clothes on.

ASA MAGNETOTHERAPY CAN BE APPLIED FOR THE TREATMENT OF OSTEOARTICULAR AND NEUROMUSCULAR DISEASES, EITHER TRAUMATIC OR INFLAMMATORY, OF VASCULAR AND SOFT TISSUES CONDITIONS AND FOR TISSUE HEALING. 

THE PRINCIPLES OF ASA MAGNETOTHERAPY

The action of ASA Magnetotherapy devices is based on the scientific principles of ELF pulsed magnetic fields (1-100 Hz), that are the most studied and used magnetic fields. In living organisms, everything is moving and changes in magnetic fields are associated with electric fields changes. Endogenous electromagnetic fields originate from movement of muscles, tendons, etc. and from musculoskeletal system action itself. In humans, muscle vibrations induce mechanical strains and currents of specific frequencies (5–30 Hz), which have been observed in postural muscle activity (relaxed posture) and <10Hz during walking. Physiological frequencies (8-30 Hz) are reported by scientific literature as the frequencies that are most used in clinical applications. Assessing the therapeutic impact of electromagnetic fields, it is important to consider that they can induce biological effects
