Magnetic Field Therapy (MFT) - PERTH-System according to Prof. Dr. Werner (Germany) Magnetic field therapy (MFT) is a treatment for a wide variety of symptoms, most notably for pain. While the use of magnets for healing has a centuries-old history, only recently have some controlled studies been done which demonstrate the effectiveness of magnetic field therapy. s
The human body is surrounded by magnetic fields present on the earth, and the body is full of magnetic materials. Magnetic fields penetrate the body easily, because it is 70% water and offers no resistance. A strong magnet held on one side of the hand can easily affect the needle on a compass on the other side of the same hand. Measurements show that tissue that has been exposed to a magnet will keep enhanced magnetic signals for sometime afterwards. Different type of magnets can produce these effects, including flat magnetic pads and electromagnets, such as magnetic resonance imaging(MRI) machines and nerve conduction testing devices.
Possible explanations of its beneficial effect on the body include its ability to increase blood flow, change the alignment of bodily electromagnetic fields, and interact with acupuncture points and meridians on the body. Certainly the placebo effect, in which a treatment is helpful because the patient thinks it is, may be acting in some cases. However, MFT has also been used successfully in treating pain in horses, where the placebo effect presumably is not a factor. Claims of successful treatment have been made for many more conditions,
including cancer, arthritis, headache, sleep disorders, neurological disease, stress-related conditions, and osteoporosis. Some double-blind scientific studies have shown varying results in the use of MFT to reduce pain associated with hip replacement and heel pain. Another small investigation demonstrated improvement in the healing of leg ulcers.
Magnetic therapy can be applied in many ways, from the use of small, simple magnets to a large machine. Small magnets, either embedded in flexible plastic or wrapped in cloth, are strapped over the area to be treated, and left in place for variable lengths of time. They can also be carried in a person's pocket or placed in a shoe. Magnetic blankets and mattress pads also available. Large machines that can generate high levels of field strength are used for treating fractures that are slow to heal, and in pseudo arthritis, a joint disease caused by nerve breakdown.
