Factors affecting Therapy Selection
In order to apply therapy for a known condition and to consider options available, the following factors are taken into account:
- Age
- General health
- Course of the main illness
- Co-existing illnesses
- Administered pharmaceutical
- The number of treatments and their duration
- Other types of physical therapy
- Magnetostimulation, like other forms of physical therapy, usually does not bring immediate effects. Its effects depend on the nature of the illness, its length and coexisting illnesses. The individual reaction to this type of treatment is also important.
- Magnetostimulation complements primary treatment. Changes in treatment (particularly pharmacological) should ONLY be introduced after consultation with a registered GP.
- When lying down on a large applicator (mat, frame bed), the head should always be positioned near the cable outlet.
- Due to the possibility of sleep disorders, particularly in elderly patients, treatment should be avoided late in the evening. This particularly concerns treatment of the head and neck area.
