Magnetotherapy termed "modern" means the Low-frequency Pulsed Electromagnetic Field therapy, shortly also EMF or frequently PMF therapy.

Magnetotherapy is a safe physiatric method in treatment of many diseases. Unfortunately, many people know about the use of permanent magnets only, i.e. static magnetic field.

There is a significiant difference in the way how static and pulsed magnetic fields are used. Long-range experience and many clinical studies confirm, PMF gives more better results.

Pulsed magnetotherapy has had a long history in Europe, namely in the East and Middle Europe, whereas therapy effects of static magnetic fields were researched in the West. In the Czech Republic, for example, the pulsed magnetotherapy is a very popular physiatric method and has become the standard part of therapeutical procedures in the spas, rehabilitation centers, etc.

Modern PMF devices allow to generate various frequencies, modulations, shape of impulses, exposure duration etc. Frequencies used are between 1 and 100 Hz, magnetic flux density being up to 100 mT supremely.
