culature. LPMF also reduces the risk of blood clots (thrombi). Low-fre-
quency pulsed magnetic therapy activates the parasympathetic nervous
system and promotes the efflux of Ca2+ ions, which leads to relaxation
of the blood vessel muscles (particularly pre-capillary sphincters)
and to subsequent vasodilation. All this contributes to harmonisation
of the heartbeat, circulation and blood pressure. LPMF has proven suc-
cessful, mainly in mild forms of ischaemic heart disease, but also in lower
and upper limb ischaemia, non-healing lower leg ulcers, and in all perfu-
sion disorders. No recanalisation of already obstructed vessels occurs,
but the collateral circulation in the skin and muscle tissues is greatly
dilated.
Vasodilation is desired in any vascular system disorders where the oxy-
genated blood flow is impaired, i.e. in ischaemic disorders of the extremi-
ties, heart or brain, all cases where a better supply of oxygen helps healing
and improving the function of the tissues and organs and also provides
anti-inflammatory effects.
Metabolic-detoxifying effect
Stimulation of metabolism. LPMF passes evenly through the exposed tis-
sues, i.e. through every cell, inducing weak electrical currents there. This
leads to changes in the surface potentials of the cells, changes in cellular
membrane permeability, increased blood circulation, improved oxygena-
tion, nutrient supply and better removal of metabolic waste from the ex-
posed tissues, which are the basic requirements for any healing process.
Enhanced metabolism, removal of waste products and detoxification
initiate any healing and regenerative process. For example, exposition
of the liver using the Biomag®system stimulates liver function, and ac-
celerates and enhances detoxification processes in the whole body.
Local effects are achieved by placing the applicator on the affected area
– e.g. muscle, joint, spine, etc. By using a small applicator, we can achieve
strongerlocaleffectsduetoahigherinduction,whiletheuseoftheapplicator
with a larger application area results in a greater positive whole-body
metabolic effect despite the lower induction.
This effect leads to improvement in many diseases and conditions,
e.g. diabetes, gout, regeneration of tissues after infections (hepatitis,
mononucleosis, toxic destruction of tissues, etc.), and also in eczema
and allergies.
Healing effect
Has been demonstrated for bones and soft tissues, and it is explained
by a nonspecific irritation of the cytoplasmic membrane, which leads
to the activation of the metabolic chain, where the key point is the alteration
of the cAMP/cGMP ratio and increased activation of osteoclasts during
bone healing. LPMF significantly accelerates the healing process, activates
the formation of new tissue (rapid building of bone tissue and calcification)
and leads to increased sensitivity to the parathyroid hormone. Therefore,
low-frequency pulsed magnetic field is used to accelerate the healing
of fractures, pseudo-arthrosis (false joint), and for the reinforcement
of loose and painful endo-prostheses. The LPMF application increases
the level of proteoglycans in cartilage by up to 22%, which allows healing
and regeneration of cartilage that is otherwise difficult and influenced only
to a limited extent. Accelerated wound healing has been demonstrated
not only in blood, but also in soft tissue. The Biomag®series systems
have a positive effect on both sterile (rheumatoid diseases) and microbial
inflammations and their healing. They induce increased phagocytic
activity, including production of superoxide, which inhibits microbial
flora, but can also be a source of temporary impairment, such as in patients
with rheumatism during the first applications. Subsequent activation
of superoxide dismutase leads to alleviation of symptoms and onset
of healing changes. Especially good results are achieved in the radicular
and pseudo-radicular syndromes (sciatica, nerve oppression of various
origin). This effect is a complex of other partial effects and it supports the
natural ability of the human body to heal and regenerate.
Characteristics of the low-frequency pulsed
magnetic field and frequency range used
in the Biomag systems
Polarity of applicators
Pulse of one polarity generated by the Biomag®systems allows the ap-
plicators to always have the same polarity at a certain area (applicator
polarity and its identification are described on page 21).
Frequency low-frequency pulsed magnetic field
Low frequency: 1 to 10 Hz
Pain-relieving and myo-relaxing effects prevail.
Medium frequency: 10 to 15 Hz
Anti-rotational effects prevail, suitable for chronic and degenerative disea-
ses. They have both pain and vasodilatory effects, inflammation, improve
blood flow and sap flow.
Higher frequency: up to 25 Hz
Stimulating effects prevail which support bone healing, improve post-
traumatic conditions and burns, stimulate healing process during acute
disease. It has a detoxifying and healing effect, to a lesser extent also
analgesic and anti-inflammatory.
Frequencies: above 25 Hz (26 to 162 Hz)
Used when we need to increase the intensity of the LPMF effects,
or for certain types of health problems such as burns, difficult fracture
healing, and pseudoarthrosis. Intended for more intensive stimulation of
the healing process, regeneration, and detoxification.

Selection
and use of the applicators
From the applicators available (see below), always select the type that
best suits the particular therapeutic purpose, and place it as close
to the surface of the treated part of the body as possible. Some applicators
can be fixed to the affected part of the body with an elastic strap. Most
of the others allow fixation on the body using optional accessories.
It is good to use it if necessary because precise positioning of the applicator
increases the application process efficiency (for solenoids generating the
spatial pulsed magnetic field, it is sufficient just to insert the treated part
of the body into the inner space of the solenoid). When assessing the suit-
ability of individual applicators, we focus on ensuring that the applicator
is placed comfortably on the body as close as possible to the affected
area, and whether or not in-depth solenoid therapy with an applicator
is needed or a flat applicator is sufficient.
In both modes (EASY and CLINIC) in programs marked with the
symbol, it is convenient to use the applicator with a triple-connector (page 10),
which turns on the individual components of the applicator gradually
and guarantees that when the applicator components are assembled,
or get close to each other, the magnetic field intensity is not reduced.
It also provides better penetration of magnetic field into the treated part
of the body, which improves the efficiency of the application.
