Life is an Electromagnetic Event
Research on the use of electronic fields for pain management focuses on the multiple mechanisms of pain production. These electromagnetic fields will increase the threshold of pain sensitivity and activate the anticoagulation system. Besides that, strong electromagnetic fields stimulate the production of opioid peptides, activate mast cells and increase the electric capacity of muscular fibres.
It‘s a common observation that the benefits last considerably longer than the time of use. Analgesic effects were still observed at the 7th and even up to 14 days after the last treatment.
High Energy Inductive Therapy and Ion Channels
The membrane proteins have various tasks. The ion channels are for High Energy Inductive Therapy of greatest interest. While small molecules such as O2, CO2 and H2O can diffuse through the cell membrane along a concentration gradient and since lipophilic substances can cross the cell membrane purely passively, the cell membrane is practically impermeable for most ions.
In the extracellular space, the most common ion is Na+, and the most common ion of the intracellular space is K+. Because of the high concentration gradient, a Na+ diffuses into the cell and a K+ diffuses out of the cell from time to time. In this process, there is also displacement of electrical charges each time.
The concentration gradient for Na+ and K+ must be maintained by an active, ATP-consuming process that the cells can fulfil their tasks – in the nerve, for example, the electrical information transfer and processing. This is the task of the Na+ / K+ pump which consumes between 50% and 70% of the entire ATP requirement of the cells.
With the change in voltage induced by the High Energy Induction Therapy, the regeneration of a normal resting membrane potential is facilitated. Normally, the passively passing molecules can once again enter and leave through the cell membrane. The energy production in the mitochondria can once again start up and the normal function of the Na+/ K+ pump is supported. As a result, the preconditions for normalisation of the cell functions are restored.
How Enraf-Nonius COMPACT II Operates
The COMPACT II generates a magnetic field of 3 Tesla, which is about 600 times stronger than a normal magnet bar. This strong magnetic field stimulates nerve cells, muscles, and blood vessels consequently as this application of energy results in a physiological change and/or stimulation which is used to achieve therapeutic effects.
By providing both a static and mobile applicator, the possibility to use one of the pre-programmed recommendations, or create and store own program the end-user is assured to have maximum results with the COMPACT II.
