Magnetotherapy- This is a method of physiotherapy treatment based on the impact on the body of low-frequency constant or pulsed magnetic fields with specified parameters. The magnetic field affects the body due to paramagnetic and diamagnetic effects.

Factory devices are very expensive, but to make a similar device yourself according to a simple scheme and from available inexpensive parts is available to every radio amateur.

It has been established that it increases the permeability of our cell membranes, accelerates redox reactions, enhances the activity of enzymes and activates local blood circulation. Magnetic fields relieve pain and inflammation, reduce swelling in tissues, reduce the activity of the blood coagulation process, stimulate regenerative processes in tissues (especially bone and cartilage) and improve their nutrition.

Magnetotherapy provides a decrease in pressure in the system of subcutaneous and deep veins, in the arteries. At the same time, vascular tone increases, due to which there are indications for the use of magnetic therapy in the treatment of hypertension and to reduce the load on the heart. Microcirculation in the affected area is intensified, due to which capillary blood flow is accelerated, the contractility of the walls of blood vessels improves, and their blood supply increases. The microcirculation bed expands, which leads to the emergence of favorable conditions for the opening of shunts, capillaries and anastomoses.

Magnetotherapy improves epithelial and vascular permeability, so the method is used to relieve edema and accelerate the resorption of injected medicines. In this regard, therapy has indications in the treatment of wounds, injuries and their various consequences.

Constant, variable and traveling magnetic pulsed fields enhance metabolic processes in fractures, osteo- and fibroblasts appear faster, bone substance is formed more actively, due to which this method has proven itself in the treatment of fractures.

Magnetotherapy can be used for the following diseases:

Rheumatoid arthritis in mild to moderate severity;
osteoarthritis;
osteochondrosis;
psoriatic arthropathy;
slowly healing fractures, wounds and trophic ulcers;
chronic venous insufficiency and thrombophlebitis;
consequences of burns;
allergic and itchy skin dermatoses;
female chronic inflammatory diseases in the acute stage;
IHD (initial degree of angina pectoris);
hypertension stage I and II;
atherosclerosis;
neurosis and insomnia;
subacute and chronic inflammation of the eyes;
diseases of the gastrointestinal tract (gastric ulcer and 12 duodenal ulcer both during remission and during exacerbation and gastritis, inflammation and dyskinesia of the biliary tract, chronic and subacute pancreatitis, chronic hepatitis and prolonged treatment of acute hepatitis, non-ulcerative colitis, pain after gastric resection) ;
ENT diseases: vasomotor and chronic rhinitis, sinusitis and frontal sinusitis, chronic pharyngitis and otitis media, laryngitis, tracheitis;
bronchopulmonary diseases: prolonged acute pneumonia, chronic bronchitis, non-hormone-dependent bronchial asthma, inactive tuberculosis;
dentistry: periodontal disease, gingivitis, sores on the oral mucosa, acute arthritis of the temporomandibular joint, fracture of the lower jaw, wounds after surgery and trauma;
chronic and subacute diseases of the genitourinary system: cystitis, pyelonephritis, urethritis, prostatitis, impotence;
postoperative and traumatic pain.

Magnetotherapy has contraindications for use in the following cases:

It is strictly contraindicated:

• bleeding;
• acute thrombosis;
• systemic blood diseases;
• thromboembolic and recurrent complications of aneurysm of the heart of the aorta and large vessels;
• cardiovascular insufficiency of stage 2 and above;
• stable angina 3 and 4 functional class;
• severe heart rhythm disturbances;
• acute myocardial infarction;
• the patient has a pacemaker;
• diseases of the central nervous system, accompanied by a sharp excitation;
• mental disorders;
• claustrophobia (under general influences);
• acute period in disorders of cerebral circulation;
• the presence or suspicion of the presence of malignant neoplasms;
• tuberculosis in the active stage;
• the general serious condition of the patient;
• acute stage of various infectious diseases;
• fever;
• exacerbation of chronic inflammatory processes;
• gangrene;
• thyrotoxicosis;
• individual intolerance.
• Children under one and a half years of age are not given magnetotherapy even locally, and up to eighteen it is not recommended to apply the general effect.

Currently, there are many devices and devices for magnetotherapy on the market: ALIMP-1, AMO-ATOS, MAG-30, ALMAG and others. Their main drawback is the cost, which varies from several thousand to several tens of thousands of rubles. In the conditions of Russian reality, for many suffering people these are prohibitive figures.

Therefore, I propose a scheme for a device for magnetotherapy, code-named Hottabych, made on an inexpensive and affordable element base worth about several hundred rubles. This device can be assembled by any even a novice master with his own hands.

Transistor VT3 - KT815, KT817 or similar reverse conductivity (in the KT814 circuit - a typo).

The maximum strength of the magnetic field is such that it attracts metal objects at a distance of 9-10 cm, therefore this device should be used from the minimum values, gradually increasing the value of the magnetic field until the pain syndrome is relieved, focusing on the frequency and voltage of the LED, if it is important for someone more exact value, then you can install an arrow or digital indicator.

It has been noticed that a frequency of several hertz is the most effective (in the proposed device it is modulated by the mains frequency), but in principle, it is individual for each person individually. Coil L1 is taken from a starter of the second magnitude ~ 220v with an open magnetic core and is filled with epoxy compound for safety, it is connected to the device with a flexible cable of 1.5 squares in double insulation. The device is compact, but if someone does not like the high output voltage, then you can replace the transformer with a more powerful one (100 W) with an output voltage of 24 volts and power L1, naturally with a nominal value of 24 volts, from the KBSP2510 bridge connected to this winding. Overall dimensions and weight will increase significantly.

I cannot fail to mention the contraindications for the use of physiotherapeutic methods, including magnetic therapy: violations of blood clotting; problems with hematopoiesis; acute stage of thrombosis; severe heart- vascular diseases: myocardial infarction, heart failure, angina pectoris, aneurysm of the heart, blood vessels; arrhythmia; the use of a pacemaker by a patient; disruption of the central nervous system; increased excitability; mental disorders; malignant tumors; tuberculosis; low blood pressure; pregnancy; up to one and a half years of age.

Magnetotherapy is successfully gaining momentum of application. And although it is not universally recognized as a medical method of therapy (for example, in the United States), in Russia it is officially recognized and is used in public clinics and private practice. The effectiveness of the method has been confirmed by many clinical trials, although scientists still have work to do.

The magnetotherapy apparatus, the scheme of which I presented here, brought noticeable relief to my relatives in the already unbearable pain in the joints. We resorted to his help, since the effect of the procedures in the clinic is lost on the way to them and walking along the floors, and for some reason the procedures themselves became paid.

The production of medical equipment is a licensed activity. As you understand, I do not have such a license and the use of the device presented in my diagram is carried out at your own peril and risk, although taking into account contraindications and our Russian reality (ecology, stress, food, indifference of doctors ...) it will not bring more harm .

Unfortunately, the principle of help yourself is becoming more and more relevant in our country, and if the proposed device helps you, then I will be very happy about it.

Almag 01 is a device that is used to treat many diseases. This device costs about 8-9 thousand rubles. The principle of operation is a traveling magnetic field that accelerates the blood. It consists of a control unit and four inductors that are connected in series and create a magnetic field.

The weak point of this apparatus is the wires connecting the coils in series. I'll tell you how to fix it. In the photo below, the device has only one inductor working. As evidenced by only one burning LED indicator.

The coil that works is the very first in the chain of inductors, therefore, the wires are intact before it. To begin with, we will replace the wires that have broken from the first coil to the second. To do this, we will analyze both. Previously, there were stickers on the inductors on the side of the LEDs, on this device they have already been removed and bolts are visible under them, and on the reverse side of the nut.

We unscrew them, hook them and half them with a slotted screwdriver. It is better to pick up at the place where the rubber cuff enters the body.

We disassemble the second coil.

Option two. The first is to ring the green wires with a tester and re-solder the dangling ones. The second is to solder all the green ones, so as not to disassemble again in the future.

I went the second way. Sequentially solder each conductor, pull it out and change it to another piece of wire. It is better to take a wire stranded and about the same thickness as the original. A thicker wire is more difficult to push through and the covers may not close in the future. The sequence of actions is as follows:

1. unsolder the wire on one side
2. twist with new
3. slip through the cuff
4. solder on one side
5. cut and solder on the other

I only had a thick wire, so I had to tinker to get it through.

After the wires are replaced to the second inductor, turn on and check. If both indicators light up, then everything is OK. We go further, collect the first and disassemble the third.

Here, repairs have already been carried out earlier, we only change the green wire and check. Everything worked, all four indicators light up sequentially. Assemble in reverse order.

I did not photograph all the burning indicators, they light up sequentially. The photo shows the last inductor in the circuit. It is clear that everyone else works before him. The cost of a new device and the cost of conductors are not commensurate, and in this case you don’t need to have strong knowledge in radio electronics! Good luck with the repair!

If you cannot repair it yourself, you can contact me. Repair will cost much less than a new device. You send the device by mail to the postal address indicated by me, and you get back the repaired one. The cost of repair is 1000 rubles. will be included in the invoice. Leave a request for repair through the feedback form.

The apparatus for conducting magnetic physiotherapy was created by the specialists of the company Elamed (Russia). A unique kind of medical equipment has no analogues.

The magnetic field acts on the affected areas, penetrates to a depth of 8 cm, reduces swelling, eliminates pain, stops inflammation, and accelerates tissue repair.

• a traveling magnetic field is generated by round coils-inductors when the device is connected to the network;
• after the penetration of impulses deep into the human body, a positive effect occurs on a large area of ​​\u200b\u200btissues;
• The result is a stronger connection between chemical elements, normalization of metabolic processes, restoration of the functions of organs and tissues, the disappearance of negative symptoms.

How to use Almag

First you need to consult with your doctor and study the section of the instructions that describes the use of Almag for joints. The device works from a network of 220 V, joins in the socket.

The green indicator confirms the presence of power, the yellow one - the activation of the operating mode. The Almag-01 model kit includes an indicator for checking the performance of individual coils.

Inductors can be applied with either side directly to the skin in the projection area of ​​the diseased joint, it is also possible to put gauze. The course of treatment begins with 4 procedures lasting 10 minutes, then it is increased to 15, and starting from the 9th - up to 20 minutes.

After 22 minutes the device switches off automatically. The course usually requires 10-20 procedures, a second course is carried out after 4 weeks, after which a break should be taken for at least 3 months.

About 15% of people are immune to the magnetic field. This explains the negative reviews about the treatment with magnetotherapy devices.

So before purchasing Almag for personal use, it is better to take a course or at least several sessions of magnetotherapy in a hospital. If symptoms disappear or become less severe, this treatment is right for you.

And some more important points:

• the magnetic field is not able to restore the completely destroyed cartilage, eliminate the deformation of the joint. So Almag is effective at 1-2 stages of gonarthrosis, coxarthrosis and other arthrosis;
• with polyarthrosis, one should not try to treat all joints at once. First you need to select 1-2 zones, the most problematic, and concentrate on them. After a break, move on to the next zone;
• you can not use Almag for more than 30 minutes a day;
• after the first 3-5 procedures, exacerbation, increased pain is possible. This is normal, but the intensity of exposure must be reduced;
• magnetotherapy has an aftereffect, the positive dynamics persists and grows for a month after the completion of treatment;
• magnetic therapy sessions should be combined with performing exercise therapy, taking chondroprotectors, lifestyle correction (giving up bad habits, switching to healthy eating, weight normalization).

How to use the treatment device

Compliance with the recommendations specified in the instructions prevents negative effects on the body. It must always be remembered that magnetotherapy gives a positive result only if the procedure is followed exactly, the treatment must be corrected when negative symptoms appear. Important point– complete abstinence from alcohol for the duration of magnetotherapy.

• study the instructions;
• check the integrity of the device, the quality of the cords and all parts. If there is damage, it is forbidden to turn on the device in the network;
• before starting the session, look at the indicators: when ready for work, they glow;
• for the procedure, take a comfortable position: sitting or lying down, depending on the selected treatment area;
• best option- apply a magnetic "belt" with round elements to dry, clean skin. In some cases, exposure through a thin tissue is permissible, but it is desirable to use the standard option - to ensure that the coils are in direct contact with the body;
• conduct a session for ten to twenty minutes. The first procedure - 10 minutes, no more;
• use the device twice a day, preferably at the same time;
• two to three hours must pass after eating. You can use Almag - 01 an hour before lunch or dinner;
• the optimal duration of the course is from 10 to 20 sessions;
• after a month, with the permission of the attending physician, you can repeat the therapy.

How to save on medicines using the Almag apparatus: the principle of magnetic therapy

for sale promoted site inexpensive contact in PM

Let's try to copy the device called Almag-01 according to the available data.

The principle of operation is to influence the human body with 2ms pulses of a magnetic field running at a frequency of 6.25Hz.

The principle of operation is clear, let's start studying the prototype with subsequent implementation in hardware.

In the sense that this is all bullshit. Read reviews about it and similar devices for pumping money from gullible pensioners.

Russia is the only civilized country in which such things are used for prevention and treatment. In all other countries, no one recognizes “magnetotherapy”.

A fool does not ask questions. Stupid and knows everything.

This is not “magnetotherapy”, there are 4 LEDs (possibly 4 IR LEDs) blinking according to “HZwhat algorithm”.. From the same area as homeopathy - “placebo effect”..

Are you sure that this scheme ever worked at all ??

The "tie" of the counters DD1.1, DD1.2 and the decoder DD3 is not clear.

counting pulses on DD1.2 come from the counter DD1.1, on DD1.1 - from the decoder DD3, and they can only come when DD1.2 counts. This is some nonsense.

Registered: Thu Aug 09,:09:39

I also looked at the diagram for a long time and could not understand how the counters count? Then the author's idea hit me. At the input "8" (vyv.11) of the decoder DD3 through the diode VD15 and the resistor R2, 50 Hz pulses are constantly received.

Since the rest of the information inputs are still log. "0", then at the output of the decoder "8" (vyv.9) according to the input code (of course) there are 50 Hz pulses.

The circuit is possible and workable (well, in the sense that the counters count something, the LEDs signal something, etc.), but what it specifically does is not yet known to science.

Extensive experience, at times, does not allow us to find / see simple and obvious solutions.

Always with respect, Alexander.

A funny circuit, but on a microcontroller it would be easier.

for example, “only present at the vd15 anode” and the presence level is not specified. or - “it turned out that the vd15 cathode and the vd7 and vd8 cathodes are connected by a resistor r24 (zero)”, but there is no test data for these diodes, or even a measured resistance relative to the common wire.

"timer started" - timer DD2? “The pulse duration is small and there are no pulses at the output of dd3” How much is small? there are no pulses at the output, but what is there and what is at the inputs and at other outputs? etc.

Registered: Tue Jan 19,:06:55

almost all self-made microcircuits do not use synchronization from the network as in the original, and therefore high-voltage electrolytes are used there, the capacitance of which determines the pulse power to the inductor.

About other countries more specifically. in Europe, in physiotherapy rooms, they are very much used. Only there are not household almags, but normal stationary large units, but no one has yet canceled the essence of magnetic therapy.

I don't know about America. I myself was prescribed a course (in an official clinic, so just in case I inform you), by the way, this pleasure is not cheap - 5 euros for a ten-minute session, and there were already eight sessions.

What do we see? A simple but reliable load switch based on logic and 4 powerful switches.

Well, yes, not quite simple, the logic is tricky, so we will set it aside and simplify it.

Coils of simple design on a plastic frame with a diameter of 73mm, 750 turns with 0.2mm wire, 25 layers of 30 turns.

Let's take the Attiny2313 microcontroller as a heart, it is cheap and simple as satin panties.

We will leave the power part original, slightly changing the power circuit, namely, by adding a smoothing capacitor.

The IRF840 transistors fit perfectly, so let's leave them.

The controller is clocked by an external quartz at 4 MHz.

The signals to the key gates come from the ports PORTD.2-PORTD.5. Signal duration 1.8 ms (the factory announced 1.5-2.5 ms, we will take the average), switching speed between coils

9Hz, which also fits into the manufacturer's criteria (6-12Hz).

LEDs hang on the legs of PORTB.0 and PORTB.1 to indicate the operation of the circuit, one is constantly on, the other blinks with a delay

200ms. At the end of the work, it's about 15 minutes, everything goes out.

Coils are made of anything at hand - a sheet of plastic and sewage pipe D52 mm.

The resistance of the wound coil should be approx. 130 Ohm, for this I had to wind in bulk approximately 0.3mm wire turns.

The original says 30 layers of 25 turns, but I don’t have enough alcohol in my stock to keep it all.

You can read more about how I sculpted the emitter.

Attention! The board is sharpened for the manufacturing method using.

But as practice shows, LUT has not been canceled

On the example of Sinaprog 2.1

In the Advanced tab, simply enter the DF and FD values ​​​​in the High and Low Fuse boxes, respectively. If someone does not know this is a hexadecimal calculus.

For other programs, you can use a good one.

For the first time, this magnetotherapy apparatus (Fig. 1) was brought about a year ago with the words “it works for about a minute and turns off.” It turned out that the internal resistance of the self-restoring fuse increased; after turning on the device, it began to heat up and after a while broke the power circuit.

The second time the same apparatus was brought quite recently - it had broken and burned wires from constant kinks in the places where the cable was supplied to the inductor coils and to the electronic unit (Fig. 2). The repair consisted in removing the broken conductors and soldering the cable.

The scheme of the old version of Almag-01 is easily found on the network, where counters and decoders of the 561 series are used (available in the appendix to the text). The brought device was already assembled on the PIC controller 12F509, so during the first repair I had to copy circuit diagram from the printed circuit board (Fig. 3).

Elements FU2, VR1, C2, FU1, Tv1, R2 and R8 can be attributed to the 220 V power circuit - this is both the protection of the device from possible overvoltage in the network and the protection of the network from the impulse noise that occurs in the device.

Diode VD2 passes only positive half-waves of the mains voltage, and after it there is no storage capacitor, and this indicates that the entire power part (transistors VT1 ... VT4 and their load in the form of inductors) works only during the appearance of these half-waves.

Their presence is also controlled by the PIC controller via the R1, R3, R7, VD5, C5 and R6 circuits. The microcircuit is powered by elements C1, VD3, VD4, C3, R4, VD6, C4, VD11 and C6.

Negative half-waves, passing through the diode VD1 and limited by the zener diode VD12 at a level of 3 V, cause the green LED HL1 "NETWORK" to glow.

The yellow LED HL2 (indicator of the "WORK" mode) lights up when the PIC controller program starts. While the program is running, a “running” pulse appears on pins 3, 5, 6 and 7 of the microcircuit, which controls the transistors VT1-VT8.

The power transistors VT1-VT4, as mentioned above, are powered by positive high-voltage pulses, and VT5-VT8 are powered by a constant voltage of 12 V (VD4, C3).

The inductors themselves consist of a series-connected multi-turn coil and a 2.2 ohm resistor (seen in Fig. 2). An LED is placed in parallel with the resistor. green color glow, which glows during the appearance of voltage on the coil.

The instructions for the Almag-01 apparatus indicate that the pulse flowing in the inductor coil has a duration of 1.5-2.5 ms and follows at a frequency of 6.25 Hz (instruction attached to the text).

To check the indicated time intervals, sensors made in the form of multilayer coils were brought to the first two inductors (Fig. 4), and the voltage induced on them was applied to sound card computer for analysis in the program.

In Fig. 5, the voltage from the first coil is shown at the top, and from the second coil at the bottom. It can be seen that the pulses are shifted by a quarter of the period. Pickups from the appearance of the third and fourth pulses are also noticeable. The repetition frequency, as indicated in the instructions, is close to 6.25 Hz.

Figure 6 and Figure 7 show the position of the pulses in one of the coils relative to the mains voltage and the shape of these pulses in more detail. The approximate duration of that part of the pulse that can be called "positive" is close to the indicated 1.5-2.5 ms.

Finally, a few overview photos. In fig.8, fig.9, fig.10 - a general view of the electronic unit of the device with the cover removed, in fig.11 and fig.12 - on the STP5NK50Z transistors and the PIC controller 12F509, in fig.13 - on the reverse side of the printed fees.

In Fig. 14 - a view of a small printed circuit board, which is in each inductor. All output holes are numbered and correspond to the numbering of the outputs in the electronic unit (on the right in Fig. 10).

The coil itself is wound with a wire with a diameter of about 0.15 mm on a plastic frame with an approximate inner diameter of 56 mm. Winding width - 6 mm, height - 5 mm.

Physiotherapy is a must complex treatment arthrosis. Procedures well complement the action of medications and to some extent can even replace them.

With arthrosis, they resort to a variety of physiotherapeutic procedures - electrophoresis, laser therapy, and exposure to ultrasound. Effective magnetotherapy - the impact on the joints of the electromagnetic field.

The Almag apparatus generating a magnetic field for arthrosis can be used at home, but the treatment plan should be developed by the attending physician.

Magnetotherapy and dynamic electrical nerve stimulation

Every organ in the human body has its own magnetic field. Also, we are all exposed to the geomagnetic field of the Earth, under the influence of which changes in the internal magnetic field occur, which are not always favorable.

The dependence on the magnetic field of blood flow, oxygen transport and trophism (nutrition) of tissues is especially pronounced. After all, blood and cells contain charged particles - ions.

The nervous system is extremely sensitive to electromagnetic fields, since neurons are the carrier of an electric charge. Proteins, nucleic acids and other macromolecules that make up the tissues of the human body have their own magnetic energy, which can be increased and channeled in the right direction through external stimulation.

If you choose the right parameters for an artificially generated electromagnetic field, you can start positive changes in the body:

• accelerate the flow of biochemical and biophysical processes;
• stimulate cellular metabolism;
• increase the permeability of blood vessels and epithelium for medicinal substances, improve the resorption of edema;
• activate blood circulation.

In the Almag device, the principle of operation is to generate a pulsed magnetic field. The operation of the DENAS device is based on a slightly different principle. Dynamic electrical nerve stimulation is the effect of neuron-like impulses on biologically active zones.

The impulse passes through the pathological focus, reaches the brain and activates the immune system. As a result, the body itself begins to fight the disease, its defensive forces.

To influence different organs and systems, to eliminate certain symptoms, different frequencies are selected. In short, this technique is called DENS-therapy, and devices that generate healing impulses are called DENAS.

Magnetotherapy for arthrosis

What happens in the body if magnetic inductors are applied to a diseased joint? The magnetic field has a complex effect on tissues:

• due to the suppression of nerve impulses, the intensity of pain sensations decreases;
• microcirculation of blood and lymph improves, edema subsides, nutrition of articular cartilage normalizes, congestion is eliminated, decay products are removed from the body;
• all processes at the cellular level are activated, tissue regeneration processes are launched;
• relieves muscle spasms.

As a result, the range of motion in the affected joint is restored, clicks and crackles disappear. Using the device allows you to abandon painkillers and NSAIDs or significantly reduce the dosage.

This not only reduces the risk side effects, which these drugs possess, but tangible savings are also achieved. The magnetic field has local and systemic effects.

So, when exposed to the joints, it treats not only arthrosis, but also contributes to the activation immune system, in patients with diabetes, there is a decrease in blood sugar levels.

But the systemic effect can also be negative, for example, in some patients, blood pressure rises. Therefore, the recommended duration of exposure should not be exceeded; if side effects appear, on the contrary, it is reduced.

Advantages

The unique device for magnetotherapy has many positive sides:

• ease of use;
• no allergic reactions after the session;
• the magnetic field helps in the treatment of many diseases of muscles, bone structures, ligaments, joints;
• suitable for home use;
• small size allow you to take a portable device with you for sessions on vacation, in a sanatorium, during travel;
• to use the device does not require special knowledge and medical education;
• the effectiveness of the device Almag - 01 is confirmed by most of the patients;
• ease of use of a magnetic tool at home;
• it is possible to carry out treatment in the presence of many diseases that elderly patients face: vascular pathologies, hypertension, diabetes;
• the ability to use on different parts of the body;
• magnetic therapy reduces the need for medicines, which gives significant savings to the family budget;
• long service life - up to eight years;
• throughout the entire period of procedures, the level of exposure does not decrease (lack of addiction to the device).

Contraindications

We should not forget about contraindications to treatment with Almag devices. They can not be used by expectant mothers, regardless of the gestational age. The magnetic field does not have a carcinogenic effect, but it can activate the growth of cancer cells in the body.

• acute inflammatory, purulent processes;
• early rehabilitation period after a heart attack, stroke;
• severe hypotension;
• blood diseases, clotting disorders, bleeding tendency;
• the presence of a pacemaker.

It should be noted that magnetotherapy was banned in the United States some time ago, but its effectiveness has now been proven. In particular, the FDA has allowed and approved a number of devices from the Russian plant Elamed (Almag, Magofon and others).

It is doubtful that DENAS devices can be purchased only through a network of distributors, unlike Almags, which are sold in pharmacies.

Magnetotherapy is effective as part of the complex therapy of arthrosis. Almag devices are convenient in that they can be used at home. If you spend money on buying a portable device, you won’t have to go to the physiotherapy room, wait in line.

But it should be understood that magnetotherapy is not a panacea, it cannot replace other methods of treatment and is not capable of restoring a destroyed joint. You can not self-medicate, because there are contraindications to the use of devices. More information about the device Almag-01 is described in the video.

Magnetotherapy can be harmful in the presence of certain conditions and pathologies:

• tendency to bleed;
• pregnancy;
• circulatory disorders in the brain;
• confirmed oncopathology of any organ;
• severe blood diseases;
• thyrotoxicosis against the background of malfunctioning of the thyroid gland;
• abscesses, purulent lesions;
• recovery period after a heart attack;
• exacerbation of inflammatory processes;
• the child is under 2 years old.

Do-it-yourself Almag 01 repair

Magnetotherapy is a method of physiotherapeutic treatment based on the impact on the body of low-frequency constant or pulsed magnetic fields with specified parameters.

Factory devices are very expensive, but to make a similar device yourself according to a simple scheme and from available inexpensive parts is available to every radio amateur.

It has been established that it increases the permeability of our cell membranes, accelerates redox reactions, enhances the activity of enzymes and activates local blood circulation.

Magnetic fields relieve pain and inflammation, reduce swelling in tissues, reduce the activity of the blood coagulation process, stimulate regenerative processes in tissues (especially bone and cartilage) and improve their nutrition.

Magnetotherapy provides a decrease in pressure in the system of subcutaneous and deep veins, in the arteries. At the same time, vascular tone increases, due to which there are indications for the use of magnetic therapy in the treatment of hypertension and to reduce the load on the heart.

Microcirculation in the affected area is intensified, due to which capillary blood flow is accelerated, the contractility of the walls of blood vessels improves, and their blood supply increases.

Magnetotherapy improves epithelial and vascular permeability, so the method is used to relieve edema and accelerate the absorption of administered drugs.

Constant, variable and traveling magnetic pulsed fields enhance metabolic processes in fractures, osteo- and fibroblasts appear faster, bone substance is formed more actively, due to which this method has proven itself in the treatment of fractures.

Rheumatoid arthritis in mild to moderate severity;

Slowly healing fractures, wounds and trophic ulcers;

Chronic venous insufficiency and thrombophlebitis;

I went the second way. Sequentially solder each conductor, pull it out and change it to another piece of wire. It is better to take a wire stranded and about the same thickness as the original.

1. unsolder the wire on one side
2. twist with new
3. slip through the cuff
4. solder on one side
5. cut and solder on the other

I only had a thick wire, so I had to tinker to get it through.

After the wires are replaced to the second inductor, turn on and check. If both indicators light up, then everything is OK. We go further, collect the first and disassemble the third.

Here, repairs have already been carried out earlier, we only change the green wire and check. Everything worked, all four indicators light up sequentially. Assemble in reverse order.

I did not photograph all the burning indicators, they light up sequentially. The photo shows the last inductor in the circuit. It is clear that everyone else works before him.

The cost of a new device and the cost of conductors are not commensurate, and in this case you don’t need to have strong knowledge in radio electronics! Good luck with the repair!

If you cannot repair it yourself, you can contact me. Repair will cost much less than a new device. You send the device by mail to the postal address indicated by me, and you get back the repaired one.

Homemade magnetotherapy device

The third issue of "Crazy Hands" is published today in the "Health" section. But there is no mistake in this. The fact is that today, lovers of creating useful things with their own hands are offered a scheme and design of an amateur device for local magnetotherapy at home.

The device was developed by a radio amateur N.I. Zaets from the Belgorod region and is so simple that it is quite accessible for repetition even by beginner radio amateurs. So. Author's description of the device, its scheme and design.

DEVICE FOR LOCAL MAGNETOTHERAPY

Everything in the world rests on the field bonds of atoms, electrons, protons, etc. But the human body itself also produces electrical signals that control our well-being.

Violation of electrical connections in the body causes disease. On the principle of restoration of connections in the human body, the whole teaching of ancient Chinese medicine is based on the impact on biologically active points (zhen-jiu therapy).

Modern medicine and the development of electronics have added various forms of reflexology to this teaching. These are laser, magnetic, light, sound and many other types of therapy. Most of them locally affect painful areas of the body.

The proposed device (its schematic diagram is shown in Fig. 1)

generates low power magnetic field pulses. The device consists of three functional blocks: a generator, a shaper and a current amplifier. The generator is assembled according to the multivibrator circuit on the elements DD1.1 and DD1.2.

The short pulse shaper consists of a differentiating chain C2R4 and elements DD1.3 - DD1.4. The current amplifier is assembled on transistors VT1-VT2 operating in key mode.

Diode VD1 is necessary to protect the protection of transistors from breakdown by self-induction currents. The LED can be used type AL307 or any other by reducing the resistance of the resistor R7 to 2 kOhm. But with such a replacement, the current consumption will increase.

The electromagnet has a winding resistance of at least 20 ohms. The electromagnet coil is wound on a frame with an inner diameter of 10 mm and an outer diameter of 20 mm with PEV2-0.22 wire.

You can take a ready-made (necessarily wooden) spool of thread and wind the wire around it until it is completely filled. The last winding layer, together with soldered flexible leads about 50 cm long, is wrapped with electrical tape.

A magnetic core is inserted into the hole of the coil - a core made of mild steel, for example, grade 3. An M10 bolt without a head can be used as a core for a coil taken from threads.

The device is assembled in a suitable case, where a frequency regulator, an LED, a 6P22 battery (“Krona”) are installed. The wire from the electromagnet is connected to the device with a stereo connector, which simultaneously acts as a power switch.

When first turned on, the change in frequency is controlled by the flickering of the LED when the frequency regulator is rotated. The operation of the electromagnet can be checked by holding it up to a color TV screen (this is safe). Shadows should appear on the screen in sync with the LED flashes.

A drawing of the printed circuit board of the device is shown in Fig.2.

Attention! It is forbidden for people to use the device

During the operation of the device, an electromagnet is brought to a painful joint with a magnetic circuit and slow circular movements are made. Exposure time - up to 30 minutes.

The frequency of the generator is set to the minimum, controlling it by the flashes of the LED. If the pain does not subside, the frequency of generation is slowly increased. At the same time, it must be remembered that a higher frequency is designed to break down salt deposits, so the pain may increase for a while.

This device can be used in the treatment of fractures and wound healing (1), as well as in toothaches.

Another application of this device is the treatment of seeds before sowing. An electromagnet is placed on a non-magnetic box with seeds for 30 seconds. The pulse frequency is minimal.

Long-term practice of seed treatment has shown good seedling vitality, increased disease resistance and fruit size. Although in the first phase, until the true leaf, the plant is stunted, in the subsequent it overtakes the seedlings that were not treated with a magnet. The main thing in this matter is not to overdo it.

For a year now, my back has been aching, recently it has completely overcome it. Wife therapist, says osteochondrosis. The sore really interferes with work while at the machine or workbench - everything is fine, but if you work in an uncomfortable position, it completely unfastens.

The wife says that magnetotherapy is effective and safe, but the prices for factory devices are very inhumane, and the techie brain is looking for alternatives in such cases.

For now, there are two options. The first is a primitive, a coil on a bobbin, a ne555 generator and a key, powered by a crown, a pulsating magnetic field of 0.5-3 Hz.

The second one is more interesting, a coil from a starter, an alternating magnetic field of 50 Hz, modulated by the same 0.5-3 Hz.

Help with experience, the back is waiting for help.

I have one like this.

Safety

Patients should remember that Almag - 01 is an electrical device that operates on a 220 V network, if used incorrectly, negative consequences are possible.

Careful handling prevents accidental injury, impact electric shock, other unpleasant consequences. In preparation for the procedure, during the session and after it, you need to follow simple safety requirements.

• always check the integrity of the device for magnetotherapy;
• before the session, you need to move at a distance of 1.5 m or more from equipment that is sensitive to the effects of a magnetic field;
• do not allow strong tension on the disks and the power cord: you need to choose a convenient area closer to the outlet or use an extension cord;
• it is forbidden to apply the coils of the device to the zone of the heart and brain;
• it is important to ensure that moisture does not get on the device and inside the parts;
• you cannot carry Almag - 01 by the cord;
• for safe, uninterrupted operation of the device for magnetotherapy, standard parameters of the power supply are required: voltage 220 V, frequency - 50 Hz;
• after a certain period of operation, the device switches off automatically. In this case, you need to remove the cord from the outlet, wait 10 minutes, then turn on the device again;
• store the device for home physiotherapy in a non-damp room, in cardboard box. It is necessary to ensure that there are no kinks on the cords and the junctions of the coils.

For the first time this magnetotherapy apparatus ( fig.1) brought about a year ago with the words "works for about a minute and turns off." It turned out that the internal resistance of the self-restoring fuse increased; after turning on the device, it began to heat up and after a while broke the power circuit. The same replacement fuse was not found, so an MLT-0.5 resistor with a resistance of 1 ohm was put in its place.

The second time the same device was brought quite recently - it had broken and burned wires from constant kinks in the places where the cable was supplied to the inductor coils and to the electronic unit ( fig.2). The repair consisted in removing the broken conductors and soldering the cable.

The scheme of the old version of Almag-01 is easily found on the network, where counters and decoders of the 561 series are used (available in the appendix to the text). The brought device was already assembled on the PIC controller 12F509, so during the first repair I had to copy the circuit diagram from the printed circuit board ( fig.3).

Elements FU2, VR1, C2, FU1, Tv1, R2 and R8 can be attributed to the 220 V power circuit - this is both the protection of the device from possible overvoltage in the network and the protection of the network from the impulse noise that occurs in the device.

Diode VD2 passes only positive half-waves of the mains voltage, and after it there is no storage capacitor, and this indicates that the entire power part (transistors VT1 ... VT4 and their load in the form of inductors) works only during the appearance of these half-waves.

Their presence is also controlled by the PIC controller via the R1, R3, R7, VD5, C5 and R6 circuits. The microcircuit is powered by elements C1, VD3, VD4, C3, R4, VD6, C4, VD11 and C6.

Negative half-waves, passing through the diode VD1 and limited by the zener diode VD12 at a level of 3 V, cause the green LED HL1 "NETWORK" to glow.

The yellow LED HL2 (indicator of the "WORK" mode) lights up when the PIC controller program starts. While the program is running, a “running” pulse appears on pins 3, 5, 6 and 7 of the microcircuit, which controls the transistors VT1-VT8. Power transistors VT1-VT4, as mentioned above, occurs with positive high-voltage pulses, and VT5-VT8 are powered by a constant voltage of +12 V (VD4, C3).

The inductors themselves consist of a series-connected multi-turn coil and a 2.2 ohm resistor (seen in fig.2). Parallel to the resistor is a green LED that glows when voltage is applied to the coil.

The instructions for the Almag-01 apparatus indicate that the pulse flowing in the inductor coil has a duration of 1.5-2.5 ms and follows at a frequency of 6.25 Hz (instruction attached to the text).

To check the indicated time intervals, sensors made in the form of multilayer coils were brought to the first two inductors ( fig.4), and the voltage induced on them was fed into the computer's sound card for analysis in the program.

On the fig.5 at the top shows the voltage from the first coil, and at the bottom - from the second. It can be seen that the pulses are shifted by a quarter of the period. Pickups from the appearance of the third and fourth pulses are also noticeable. The repetition frequency, as indicated in the instructions, is close to 6.25 Hz.

On the fig.6 And fig.7 you can see the position of the pulses in one of the coils relative to the mains voltage and the shape of these pulses in more detail. The approximate duration of that part of the pulse that can be called "positive" is close to the indicated 1.5-2.5 ms. The "negative" part is most likely the EMF that occurs in the coil when the transistor is closed.

Finally, a few overview photos. On the fig.8, fig.9, fig.10– a general view of the electronic unit of the device with the cover removed, on fig.11 And fig.12- on transistors STP5NK50Z and PIC controller 12F509, on fig.13- on the reverse side of the printed circuit board.

On the fig.14- a view of the small printed circuit board that is in each inductor. All output holes are numbered and correspond to the numbering of outputs in the electronic unit (on fig.10 on right). The coil itself is wound with a wire with a diameter of about 0.15 mm on a plastic frame with an approximate inner diameter of 56 mm. Winding width - 6 mm, height - 5 mm.

Instructions for use of the apparatus "Almag 01"

If you do not know how to use Almag 01, the instructions for using the device will definitely come in handy. Please read it carefully before starting treatment.

Technical characteristics of the device ALMAG-01:

Circuit diagram "Almag 01"

People planning to use the Almag 01 device will need its scheme. It can be seen that the device consists of several main elements. This:

• electronic unit responsible for generating current pulses;
• impact node - four inductor coils, which are connected to each other and are used to influence parts of the body affected by various diseases;
• cable;
• network cord.

The housing of the electronic unit is made of polystyrene, a light impact-resistant material.

When you turn on the medical device in the network, two indicator lights on the body light up:

• green indicates that the device is connected to the network;
• yellow indicates that the device is working - thanks to the connection with the timer, it goes out 20 minutes after the Almag 01 is connected to the network, while the effect of the device stops, that is, the magnetic field is no longer generated.

The electrical circuit of the device is designed in such a way that for its full functioning between 20-minute sessions, a break is required, the duration of which should be at least 10 minutes.

Equipment

Package Included:

• apparatus "Almag 01";
• magnetic field indicator;
• additional fasteners;
• user manual.

Principle of operation

The principle of operation of the medical device "Almag 01" is based on the use of a traveling pulsed magnetic field (TMP). Any magnetic fields can have a therapeutic effect on the human body, enhancing intercellular and intracellular metabolism 1 .

However, the BIMP has an important feature: its pulses fall in the range from 4 to 16 Hz. According to the research of the American biologist W. R. Adie 2 , this is the range of biologically active frequencies characteristic of our body.

The device has a rhythmic effect on diseased organs and tissues. As a result:

• the electromagnetic characteristics of cells that have changed as a result of the disease are restored;
• the interaction between the chemical elements involved in redox processes improves, and this, in turn, also leads to the restoration of impaired body functions.

The coils-inductors of the device are designed in such a way that a traveling pulsed magnetic field can penetrate deep into the tissues to a depth of 8 centimeters. Thanks to this, it is possible to treat diseases of organs located deep under the skin.

It is also important to note that the device improves blood flow at the site of exposure. It means that:

• blood viscosity decreases and, accordingly, the risk of blood clots decreases;
• the lumen of the vessels increases, additional capillaries open, they become more permeable.

The blood supply in the area affected by the Almag 01 device is significantly improved. Cells are provided with the necessary oxygen, building proteins and immunoglobulins, and inflammation products are promptly removed from them. The metabolism is activated, which leads to the fact that the processes of regeneration proceed more quickly, the cells are restored and renewed, and the progression of the disease slows down.

The nervous system is most susceptible to the effects of BIMP. The use of "Almag 01" helps to stimulate the processes of inhibition, which provides a sedative (calming) effect. You can use the device to treat some cases of insomnia, as the magnetic field favors healthy sleep.

The device normalizes the production and release into the blood of hormones in the brain structures that affect the function of the endocrine organs. Thanks to this, you can use it to:

• correct some hormonal disorders;
• form an anti-stress effect;

Also, the Almag 01 medical device effectively treats pain syndromes of various origins. This is ensured by the fact that BIMP is able to reduce the sensitivity of peripheral nerve receptors, and this, in turn, is the cause of the gradual attenuation and complete disappearance of pain.

The device can also help people with impaired cerebral circulation. A traveling pulsed magnetic field lowers the tone of the cerebral vessels and increases their gaps. This improves cerebral circulation and makes the metabolism more active 3 .

The medical device has a significant impact on the cardiovascular system. Thanks to him, the heart rate normalizes, blood vessels expand, and blood flow improves. This allows, for example, to effectively deal with hypertension.

The impact of BIMP stimulates metabolic processes, provides analgesic, anti-edematous, anti-inflammatory effect. Studies have shown that during the course of treatment using Almag 01, the number of leukocytes in the blood increases. This means that the device stimulates the thymus gland, lymph nodes, spleen and other immunocompetent organs.

This medical device has another important feature. Regardless of what disease you are treating, biologically active points are stimulated during exposure, which causes a reflex reaction of the muscles and internal organs associated with them. This also benefits the body 4 .

Any organism has such a characteristic as the level of adaptation. It can be defined as the ability to withstand the negative effects of the external environment, as well as the ability to self-heal. Course treatment with the help of "Almag 01" not only provides a variety of therapeutic effects, but also leads to a smooth increase in the level of adaptation in the patient. This contributes to the treatment of not only acute, but also chronic diseases.

The device of the device "Almag 01"

The device is extremely simple. Its main elements are an electronic unit that provides the generation of current pulses, an impact unit, which includes four interconnected inductor coils, a cable and an electronic cord. All connections are flexible and one-piece 5 .

There are two indicators on the body of the electronic unit. Green indicates that the device is connected to the network, yellow indicates that the device is working. The yellow indicator is connected to the timer and stops generating the magnetic field 20 minutes after being connected to the network. If the yellow indicator goes out, you need to turn off Almag 01 and reconnect it to the mains in at least 10 minutes.

Coils-inductors are used directly for influencing the human body. Each of them has two working surfaces. This means that it does not matter which side you apply them.

To find out if the device is in working order, use the magnetic field indicator included in the delivery. Alternately apply it to the working surfaces of the coils. It will report on the health of the device by flashing the light or by vibrating (depending on the specific type of indicator that came with your device).

If you connected the device to the mains, and it is working, then the electronic unit starts to generate current pulses, which are distributed over the coils, which convert them into magnetic induction pulses. As a result, a traveling pulsed magnetic field is created with the direction from the first coil to the fourth one. It provides the patient with the necessary therapeutic effect.

Magnetic field indicator in Almag-01

What is the purpose of the magnetic field indicator included in the scope of delivery? This is an important accessory. The indicator will show if the Almag 01 device is working.

How to use the device? To check the performance of the device, it is enough:

• include "Almag 01" in the network;
• put indicator on work surface- you can choose any of the four coils.

If everything is in order with the device, it is connected to the network and generates a magnetic field, a light will flash on the indicator housing. If this does not happen, check that you have inserted the plug into the socket well. If the light does not flash, this may mean the following:

• problems with connecting to the mains;
• device malfunction;
• indicator malfunction.

With some devices, an indicator is supplied that reports the device's performance not by flashing a light, but by vibration.

If "Almag 01" does not work, and the warranty has not yet expired, you must contact the store where you purchased it. They will exchange your defective device for a new one or help you send it to service center for experts to repair the damage.

Safety precautions when working with the device

1. Before using the device, be sure to carefully read the instruction manual.
2. Examine the device. Check that the housing, coils and cables are not damaged. If there is any damage, it is impossible to use the Almag 01 device in any case.
3. The device can only be connected to a working electrical outlet. Suitable sockets with an operating voltage of ~ 220V (-10%, + 10%) or ~ 230V (-10%, + 6%) and a frequency of 50 Hz. Make sure that the network cable is not pulled to the limit when connecting.
4. Protect the device from moisture, shock and shock. When treating the device with a disinfectant solution, avoid getting moisture inside the coils-inductors and the electronic unit.

Medical precautions

1. The duration of the first procedure is 10 minutes or even less.
2. When treating two zones, the total exposure time is no more than 30 minutes.
3. If it is necessary to influence the cervicothoracic spine, the duration of the first three procedures is no more than 10 minutes.
4. It is forbidden to carry out a direct effect on the region of the heart and brain.

The device must not:

• lift and carry by the power cord;
• place near magnetic storage media and magnetically sensitive devices (audio, video equipment and other similar devices).

How to check the performance of the Almag 01 device?

The package includes a special device - a magnetic field indicator. It is designed to test the performance of the Almag 01 apparatus. Using it is very simple:

• turn on the device in the network;
• put the indicator on the working surface of the coil;
• wait for the indicator to flash or vibrate (depending on which model is included in your kit).

If the indicator does not react in any way to the switched on device, then something is wrong with the device.

Advantages

Almag treatment has many advantages. The most important ones are:

• ease of use - to conduct a session, you do not need to have special knowledge and skills;
• the ability to influence not only the skin, but also the internal organs of a person - this is achieved due to the fact that the magnetic field is able to penetrate 6-8 cm inside human body;
• safety of the device - subject to the elementary precautions indicated above, it can be used by elderly people, as well as people who are in a weakened state;
• good tolerance of the magnetic field by patients who are contraindicated in other physiotherapy procedures;
• complete absence any addiction or addiction, as well as side effects - at any time you can safely stop the procedure;
• treatment with "Almag" can be done at home, so you do not have to periodically visit the treatment room, take a queue or arrange an appointment 6 ;
• the ability to cover various problem areas in one course;
• long-term use - the average life of the device is 5 years, but it can last you longer.

The main advantage of the Almag 01 apparatus is, of course, its high efficiency. It is confirmed by clinical studies conducted, in particular, in the Russian Scientific Center for Restorative Medicine and Balneology of the Ministry of Health of the Russian Federation and the Moscow City Clinical Hospital No. 1 named after N. I. Pirogov.

disadvantages

The main disadvantage of the device is that specialists cannot give a 100% guarantee of the effectiveness of magnetic therapy. In some cases, the technique is suitable for the treatment of only mild and moderate forms of diseases.

Mechanism of action

A traveling pulsed magnetic field is much more effective than alternating and constant fields in terms of the effectiveness of its impact on the cells of the human body. Thanks to this device:

• restores damaged cells and tissues;
• improves intracellular and intercellular metabolism;
• stimulates the regenerative processes that occur in tissues.

The course, consisting of 10-20 sessions, allows you to relieve pain and improve well-being, and also promotes recovery.

Instrument statistics

Clinical studies have shown that during the course use of the Almag 01 apparatus, the following is observed:

• in 27.6% of patients - a pronounced improvement;
• 51.4% of patients had a moderate improvement;
• in 21% of patients - a slight improvement.

No deterioration was recorded.

Specialists of City Clinical Hospital No. 11 7 (Ryazan) used the device to treat patients suffering from benign hyperplasia. As a result, in more than 90% of patients, pain in the genital area decreased or disappeared, and in many patients with symptoms of sexual dysfunction, recovery of copulatory function was noted.

In the Central Health Center GVKG them. Academician N. N. Burdenko "Almag 01" was used to treat injuries. Studies have shown that the duration of treatment was reduced by about 10% compared with the control group, consisting of patients who did not participate in sessions using the device.

When will the effect come?

The effect of using "Almag 01", as a rule, does not occur immediately. This largely depends on the disease you want to cure. The device must be used regularly. The course, depending on the disease and its nature, can be from 10 to 20 procedures, its duration must be discussed with the doctor.

Usually the effect can be felt after several procedures. But in some cases, you will need to undergo a full course of treatment, and sometimes you need a second course exposure.
