Treating pain with diamagnetic therapy
PHYSIOTHERAPY is an alternative treatment to several types of ailments such as joint stiffening, muscle aches and weakening, stroke or neurological conditions.
Adults whose bodies have undergone years of strain commonly experience back and neck pains.
Physiotherapists apply a hands-on, one-on-one approach in treatment by first establishing individual complications through examination, then carrying out evaluation, diagnosis and physical intervention.
Physiotherapists are trained in manual techniques that improve mobility, relieve pain, restore function and limit disability.
They are also knowledgeable in body mechanics and the various therapeutic exercises that best suit a patient’s needs.
Understanding different types of pain
The first vital part of physiotherapy is examining the body to correctly identify the type of pain.
Pain can be difficult to diagnose, especially since it can be tough to accurately describe the sensation that causes discomfort.
Nociceptive pain is caused when special nerve endings – called nociceptors – are irritated. This is the pain you experience when you burn yourself, twist your ankle or stub your toe.
It is usually controllable and temporary but chronic diseases such as cancer or arthritis can also be causes.
This type of pain typically responds well to pain medications, anti-inflammatory agents and other drug therapies.
There is also neuropathic pain, which occurs when there is actual nerve damage.
Nutritional imbalance, alcoholism, toxins, infections, autoimmunity or a tumour pressing against the nerves can damage the neural pathways, causing pain. It is described as a burning, heavy or numb sensation.
A non-invasive multifunctional therapy
Diamagnetic therapy utilises an energy transfer system through a high-intensity magnetic pulse, creating stimulation at a cellular level.
This allows for deeper penetration than traditional electrical therapy and prevents aggravation of the inflamed tissue.
The effective control and management of pain assured by this therapy aligns with restoring mobility to patients for a better quality of life.
Diamagnetic therapy also promotes accelerated tissue repair, the movement of cellular liquids encourages drainage, which is important in the repair of affected tissues.
A study by Panacea Clinical Research, a research body that provides clinical research solutions and investigational trial support to medical device companies, found diamagnetic therapy to be effective for patients suffering from osteoarthritis.
This therapy also works on numerous other conditions such as frozen shoulders, lower back pain, stiff neck, joint pain, rheumatic and inflammatory diseases, tennis elbows and sports injuries.
Diamagnetic therapy is applied in orthopaedics and trauma to alleviate skeletal and spinal issues, traumatic and degenerative lesions, formation of bony calluses, slipped discs, fractures and pseudarthrosis.
It is also utilised in sports medicine to treat tendonitis, muscle contractures and tears, distortions and contusions.
In neurology, diamagnetic therapy is used with inflammatory and degenerative affections.
This technology can also be used in rehabilitation or post- surgery recovery, largely due to its non-invasive nature.
Bio-Pharmaceuticals currently has 20 Diamagnetic Physio Centres in Malaysia, bringing noninvasive technology from Italy to perform diamagnetic therapy.
Modern technology
This therapy can only be carried out with a specific machine – the CTU-Mega 18 Diamagnetic Device.
It is a non-invasive system that stimulates the inherent but weak magnetic properties of water, which is a major component of the body’s cellular system.
Water is a diamagnetic matter. In the presence of a magnetic field, water moves in the opposite direction to the magnetic field. Bodily fluids consist of 70% water and are therefore, subject to this principle.
The CTU-Mega 18 has been hailed as the latest effective system for the management of pain in Malaysia.
Its non-invasive treatment method eliminates the collateral effects associated with treatments involving electrical currents.
The lack of superconductors makes it a small, portable and inexpensive machine.
