The magnetotherapy device has low-frequency variables and magnetic fields of influence automatically changing in frequency. It can operate not only from a 220 Volt network, but also from a 12 Volt power source.
The principle of operation of the magnetotherapy apparatus
The magnetotherapy device is used for therapeutic purposes, affecting different parts of the body. An alternating magnetic field is most often used in medical and sanatorium-resort institutions.
Procedures are carried out exclusively as prescribed by the attending physician. The method is of a rather gentle type and has high levels of safety, therefore, it is prescribed for both adults and children who have reached the age of three.

- study period from two to five seconds.
Included with the magnetotherapy apparatus are often: instructions for use, instruction manual, one belt for fixing half a meter long and one one and a half meter long, one power supply, power cable, one magnetic field indicator.
Indications and contraindications for the use of the device
The magnetotherapy apparatus is prescribed in the presence of diseases of the cardiovascular system, non-specific diseases of the bronchopulmonary system, diseases of the nervous system, joints, digestive organs, female genital organs and ENT organs.
Although the method is considered as safe as possible, it still has a number of contraindications, including:
