Amplipulse therapy, as this method of treatment is also called, is the most natural type of treatment. This is due to the fact that the current potential, which affects the body, is as close to the biological indicator of electricity in the human body. Therefore, CMT physiotherapy has become widespread in the treatment of diseases of the musculoskeletal system.
What are sinusoidal modulated currents?
The apparatus used for this type of therapy produces an electric field of medium frequency. The currents are modulated within the amplitude from 10 to 150 Hz. Due to the correctly selected range, they pass unobstructed and almost without absorption through the skin, and the tissues of muscles and nerves are susceptible to the main effect of pulsations. The currents produce an exciting effect on the cellular membranes of cells, which is continuously maintained by equidistributed oscillations in time.
Sinusoidal modulated currents - readings
The presented physiotherapy is effective in the following violations:
- diseases of the spine and joints: arthrosis, osteochondrosis, arthritis, spondylarthrosis;
- vegetative-vascular diseases;
- neurological pathologies: plexitis, neurosis, neuritis, neuralgia;
- violations of peripheral arterial vessels, preventing normal blood flow;
- diseases of the genitourinary tract and urology: a decrease in the tone of the prostate, bladder, prostatitis, stones in the kidneys and urinary ducts;
- gynecological diseases, including - inflammatory processes of the genital organs;
- pathology of the digestive system: colitis, decreased intestinal motility, biliary dyskinesia (hypo- and hypertonic type), stomach ulcer, duodenal ulcer;
- problems of venous circulation: stagnation of blood, puffiness;
- trophic processes in soft tissues: necrosis, pressure ulcers;
- diseases of the mouth: stomatitis, gingivitis , inflammatory lesions of the gums.
It should be noted that CMT physiotherapy perfectly eliminates pain syndrome after the first session and promotes a fairly rapid recovery of motor activity, even with paralysis and paresis.
In addition, sinusoidal modulated currents can be used in disorders of respiratory function, as they contribute to the stimulation of striated muscles.
CMT physiotherapy at home
There are situations when the patient is not able to regularly visit the clinic for procedures, for example, with rupture of ligaments. In such cases, stimulation by currents at home is prescribed by means of portable medical devices. They have smaller dimensions, but they produce oscillations of the required frequency. And the therapy can be performed both independently and with the help of other people.
CMT physiotherapy - side effects
As with other types of physiological therapy, CMT does not have additional negative effects.
The presence of side effects can occur only in those situations when the apparatus is used not to stimulate muscles and tissues, but as a means of enhancing the penetrating power of local drugs. Any unpleasant reactions with such an application of CMT are due solely to the properties of the drug.
CMT physiotherapy - contraindications
It is impossible to use the technique in question if we have:
- tuberculosis;
- any tumor neoplasm;
- circulatory insufficiency 3 degrees;
- acute inflammatory processes with the formation of pus;
- Parkinson's disease ;
- systemic diseases of the hematopoietic system;
- bone fractures, bone fractures;
- fever;
- pregnancy;
- eczema, skin irritations;
- thrombophlebitis;
- stones in the gallbladder or kidneys, if the effect is on the affected organ.
Contraindications to sinusoidal modulated currents also include the presence of a cardiac stimulant, because it can fail under the influence of vibrations.
