Procedures:
Position of the patient - lying on a stomach (belly). Coils-inductors are placed along a
spine column. If it is not possible for any reasons to turn patient over he is slightly lifted
and inductors are put under affected area of a spine column so that the first inductor was
close to the head and one of the inductors was directly on the injured projection. The
treatment is to be started with 15minute procedure, gradually rising it within 5 days up to
20 minutes.
Maximum total procedure duration a day is 30 minutes (if procedures are taken twice
a day). Recommended course of treatment is 18 days, minimum – 15. One day interval is
to be taken after 6
th
and 12
th
day of treatment.
DISORDERS OF THE SPINAL BLOOD CIRCULATION
Spinal cord is supplied with the blood of some artery branches. The front and two back
spinocerebral artery going down to lower end of spinal cord are recharged by the spinal
branches of other arteries coming into spinal cord thought intervertebral foramens. These
foramens are formed between two adjacent vertebras. When intervertebral disks are
affected (osteochondrosis) intervertebral foramen grows narrow, closed adjacent vertebras
traumatize the nervous endings and press blood vessels. The disease aggravation leads to
the onset of ischemia zones (the lack blood circulation) in different spinal column parts.
There are appeared osteophytes in the cervical spine resulting in chronic disorder of spinal
circulation (myelopathy).
Curative effect:
In a complex of medical manipulations ALMAG device pulsed magnetotherapy has
big efficiency. The influence of travelling pulsed magnetic field promotes both the
opening of the additional capillaries, improvement of blood circulation on the whole and
partly compensate inadequate blood supply of spinal cord zones. The treatment by the
device, alongside with medicamental therapy, reduces or completely stops disease
progressing , promotes normalization both of spinal cord and spinal nerves functions.
Procedure:
Position of the patient - lying on a stomach. Coils-inductors are placed along a spine
column covering cervical part. If it is impossible to lay the patient on a stomach, the
patient is slightly lifted and inductors are put under a backbone.
The treatment is to be started with 15minute procedure, gradually rising it within 5
days up to 20 minutes.
Maximum total procedure time a day is 30 minutes if procedures are taken twice a
day. Recommended course of treatment is 18 days, minimum – 15. One day interval is to
