GUIDE
Introduction
This guide provides instructions on therapeutical use of low frequency pulse magnetic field instrument BTL-09.
The manual also gives general guidelines on use of pulse magnetic field therapy in medical practice.
This guide does not provide the reader with legal qualification to diagnose patients or to use a pulse magnetic field
instrument.
BTL-09 was developed as the result of Company's own experience as well as international research on the effects of a
pulse magnetic field on the human organism.
As in all therapy, the use of pulse magnetotherapy is not a cure-all, and does have a certain failure percentage.
However, when intensive rehabilitation is applied, positive results can be expected. This type of therapy has provided
effective, long-term positive effects where other treatment methods had failed.
The effect of a pulse magnetic field on a living organism
Controversy and disagreement still exist regarding the use of pulse magnetic fields in clinical medicine. However,
much information has been gathered in research that proves the positive effects of a pulse magnetic field on the body.
Pulse magnetic field therapy, often used in combination with other treatment methods, has produced surprising and
effective positive results for a wide variety of diseases. It has been proven that a number of medicines have had
unexpected benefits when combined with pulse magnetic field therapy.
Pulse magnetic fields directly affect physiological processes at the molecular and atomic level. The changes in bio-
tropic parameters through the use of magnetic fields indicate that a significant pharmacological effect occurs at the
molecular level. When applying a pulse magnetic field to living tissue, as described in physics by Maxwell, both
intercellular space and cellular membranes are affected. A pulse magnetic field creates, at cellular level, an induced
electric alternate field corresponding to the field generated by the instrument. Biological tissues are not homogenous,
but contain dipoles, ions, and electricity conductive channels. These components are influenced by artificially induced
fields, and cause the activation of a number of defensive reactions, such as the immunity system or changes in
fagocytosis, etc. Electromagnetic waving means the spreading of a variable magnetic field through space and it carries
energy. The irradiated tissue undergoes a number of physical processes such as polarization, iontophoresis and
electromagnetic induction.
According to the latest research, the intercellular space is one of the most important components. It is there that
soliton waves are spread, which irritate receptors on the surface of the cellular membranes. These impulses are
amplified by the membrane and transmitted into the core of the cell, where they affect metabolic processes. This
mechanism causes initiation of the transport of ion mechanisms through the cellular membrane. Loosening of matter
similar to histamine from the tissue under the influence of a pulse magnetic field causes vasodilation and a later neo-
vascularisation. This leads to tissue breathing improvements, and provides essential energy to the cell.
Main effects of a pulse magnetic field on living tissue
A pulse magnetic field is widely used as an analgesic for pain, and as an anti-inflammatory and hypermising (widening
vessels) agent. Under the influence of a pulse magnetic field, the blood supply into the tissue changes, as well as the
speed of nerve stimulus. This leads to significant changes in the muscle tonus (a normal state of continuous slight
tension in muscle tissue that facilitates its response to stimulation). With hypertonia, tonus decreases and vice versa,
which leads to normotonia. In addition, blood structure shows change in the sense of erytropoesis stimulation. The pH
of the tissue changes with a resultant calcium precipitation that is used not only in osteology, but also as a muscle and
nerve response to stimulation.
The biggest effects are proven to be pain relief, and anti-inflammatory effects -- not only with bacteria inflammations,
but also with immuno-allergic diseases.
In a process that is not fully understood or appreciated nowadays, localized pulse magnetic field application appears
to precipitate a response from other systems within the organism, beginning with the nerve and hormonal systems. It
is presumed that body systems participate in this reaction in the following order: 1. Nerve 2. Hormonal 3. Heart 4.
Vessel 5. Digestion 6. Muscle 7. Immunology 8. Bone.
