Symptoms.
Clinically epicondylitis is characterised
with a pain of different intensity in the area of affected
epicondyle which is felt to corresponding surface of
forearm and intensified at palpation. At the beginning
of the disease the rest in the affected joint is
recommended for some days.
Curative effect:
Among physiotherapeutic
procedures magneto-therapy being carried out with the
help of ALMAG device takes the important place.
Under influence of the travelling pulsed magnetic field
the pain relieves, edema resolves, the local blood-
groove improves, the metabolism is normalised,
muscles spasm of extension and flexion hand
decreases. All this results in decrease of an inflammation
and acceleration of joint restorative function.
Treatment procedures:
Procedures are carried out 2 times a day. Coils-inductors are placed around affected
joint (for example, procedures for treatment of knee-joint epicondylitis see fig 5)
The scheme of treatment of elbow joint sinew complicated with a neuritis of an
elbow nerve is as follows:
1) Procedure is carried out in a lying position;
2)
А
LMAG is placed in parallel to body;
3) The patient puts his sick hand with palm up along a body;
4) the first coil-inductor is put on the elbow joint , the second - on the elbow fold, that
is two coils-inductors cover a joint from two sides;
5) Other two inductors have to be put on an internal surface of a shoulder aside to an
axillary crease (hollow).
At shoulder joint epicondylitis it is necessary to influence two areas alternately with
the purpose to rise treatment efficiency:
Procedure
№
1: coils -inductors are placed along cervical and thoracal areas of a
backbone, covering the 5th-10th -centimetre zone along both sides of a spine column.
Procedure time is 5 minutes
.
Procedure
№
2: coils - inductors are placed on the affected epicondyle of a shoulder
joint and the starting area of muscles fixed to it. Time of influence is 15 minutes.
Both procedures are to be carried out at the turn of
а
day with the purpose to reduce the
activity of the hand after procedure. Course of treatment is min. 18 procedures
