Electromagnets are used in physiotherapy procedures, and the magnetic field emitted by them can be constant or variable depending on the settings and capabilities of the equipment. There is evidence that the magnetic field affects the direction of movement of ions in the blood, thus stimulating the production of beta-endorphin, which is of fundamental importance in reducing pain. The other main mechanism of action of the magnet is by dilating the capillaries, thus increasing the blood flow to the affected area, thereby increasing the concentration of oxygen and nutrients. At the same time, unnecessary, waste substances are separated and removed from the affected tissues and the amount of reactive oxygen radicals, which are the cause of intoxication and the feeling of fatigue, is reduced. Oxidative stress is one of the main causes and a key mechanism for the development of an extremely large number of diseases with diverse etiology. It is generally considered that the use of magnets for the treatment of certain diseases is effective due to the following properties and actions of the magnetic field on the body: analgesic effect: mainly associated with the increased production of endorphins, which are natural analgesics vasodilator effect: associated with increased production of endothelial relaxing factor and nitric oxide anti-inflammatory effect: magnetotherapy affects various mediators of inflammation and at the same time increases the activity of white blood cells for phagocytosis antispasmodic effect: vascular relaxation in combination with the influence of other mediators and agents leads to an antispasmodic effect on the transverse striated muscles detoxification effect: associated with the favorable influence of free oxygen radicals antiedematous effect: magnetotherapy can be effective in relieving edema syndrome (swellings of various etiologies), which is due to the improved blood supply, anti-inflammatory properties and the removal of accumulated waste products.
