Electrical stimulation, as a physiotherapeutic procedure for eliminating the symptoms of pathologies of a neurological, vascular, bone, and skin nature, includes many varieties. Their list includes darsonvalization.
The use of this therapeutic method involves the involvement of the darsonval apparatus in the manipulations , under the influence of which the tissues are exposed to high-frequency short-term pulses of alternating current and low voltage.
During the procedure, the patient feels warmth, along with the effect on his body of infrared rays, ozone and ultrasound with low frequency parameters. Darsonvalization as an adjunctive therapy significantly increases the productivity and strength of penetration into tissues of creams and ointments for medical purposes.
The procedure brings a therapeutic effect due to electromagnetic vibrations under the skin, reproduced by means of an electric current charge directed to the skin surface. During the manipulation, there is an increase in the work of the circulatory system, at the same time, with which the outflow of venous and arterial blood flow is accelerated.
All this contributes to the implementation of metabolic processes, an increase in muscle tone along with the elasticity of the venous walls, while the cells are saturated with oxygen and the activation of regenerative abilities. Ozone, the place of release of which is considered to be the gap between the surface of the skin and the hardware electrode, adversely affects microbes and fungi of some species. Such a bactericidal effect is possible due to the high parameters of the oxidizing properties of ozone.
Who needs to apply the method?
The darsonval device is effective in the fight against the following pathologies:
- Dermatological diseases: eczema, lichen, acne, neurodermatitis, warts, psoriasis, scleroderma, keloids, dandruff, seborrhea.
- Damage to the skin due to injuries and inflammatory processes: furunculosis, hematomas, wounds, infiltrates, burns, frostbite, trophic ulcers.
- Diseases of tendons and muscle tissues: aponeurosis, myalgia, myositis.
- Pathologies associated with joint disease: arthritis, polyarthritis, etc.
- Arterial and venous disorders: Raynaud’s syndrome , varicose veins.
- Neurological disorders: neuritis, functional vegetative-vascular diseases;
- Pathologies in the functioning of ENT organs of a protracted complex nature: allergic manifestations in the form of a runny nose, sinusitis, adenoids.
- Local elimination of damage to tissues and mucous membranes, carried out by gynecologists, proctologists, dentists.
It is worth abandoning the use of the darsonvalization method for patients suffering from the following pathologies:
- psychoneurological,
- heart failure,
- oncological,
- fever,
- associated with disruption of the cerebrovascular system,
- implying the presence of moles, papillomas, neoplasms under the skin tissues (at the site of exposure to the therapeutic method).
The darsonvalization procedure by means of electrodes in the form of vacuum tubes made of glass of various shapes (their appearance is affected by the place and volume of exposure) involves the following manipulations:
- the patient assumes a sitting or lying position,
- the fat film and dirt residues are removed from the surface of the skin,
- a cream or ointment prescribed by a specialist is applied.
Jewelry and any other metal objects should not be near the place of manipulation.
Along the massage lines on the body in the area of a certain area of \u200b\u200bthe skin, the doctor effects the electrode, which is used in two ways:
- contact (in case of touching the surface of the skin of the electrode); the patient at the same time hears the sound of an electric discharge and feels a slight tingling sensation;
- at a distance (when the electrode is above the skin surface, without touching it directly), the gap between the objects is 2-4mm; during the manipulation, an electric discharge is visible and a crackle of sparks is heard, at the same time, the patient feels a tingling or burning sensation on the skin.
The degree of intensity of exposure is influenced by the level of susceptibility of the patient, but these are invariably tangible and tolerable parameters.
The duration of the procedure, depending on the expected result and therapeutic goals, ranges from two to twenty minutes. The course of treatment by this method is carried out in a daily or interval mode (a break of one to a couple of days).
The therapeutic effect achieved (from 3 to 30) directly affects the number of darsonvalization procedures. In the course of long courses, or in order to consolidate the results, doctors practice the appointment of a series of manipulations using the apparatus with breaks of two weeks.
How does darsonval cope with the symptoms of osteochondrosis?
A portable device of a medical nature provides for the impact by means of an electric current on parts of the body suffering from the course of an inflamed process. The device perfectly copes with the task associated with relieving the patient of pain, warming up cartilage affected by osteochondrosis, eliminating the manifestations of pinched vessels and increasing the speed of microcirculation of blood flow. Prescribing a course of darsonvalization by a doctor is advisable for prevention, along with basic treatment of pathologies associated with impaired activity of the musculoskeletal system.
Advantages of physiotherapy with the involvement of the darsonval apparatus .
Unlike other methods of influencing tissues during exacerbation of osteochondrosis, the considered method is endowed with the following advantages:
- absence of pain;
- accessibility of manipulations;
- immediate relief after the procedure.
The use of darsonval on a regular basis is recommended for people suffering from spinal steochondrosis that has arisen in the neck, belt, and chest.
The result of the first use of the device is the removal of pain along with a feeling of swelling and inflammation. During the systematic course of darsonvalization, the patient gets rid of uncomfortable sensations in the area of the location of the cervical and lumbar vertebrae, which occur when the body takes one position for a long time.
The best option for purchasing a darsonval portable device at an affordable cost is to visit a specialized store that sells medical equipment. It is worth noting that the device copes well not only with pathological disorders in the spine: several nozzles that are included in the kit can be used to successfully combat diseases of the skin and scalp.
Who is recommended to refrain from using the method:
- pregnant women
- people with pacemakers
- patients with epilepsy and malignant tumors (if the device will affect this particular area).
What is darsonvalization of the front part of the body, head and hair aimed at:
- elimination of dandruff and excessive oiliness of the scalp,
- improving the quality of the hair structure and preventing hair loss.
The device functions according to the following principle: high-frequency current discharges affect the area of the scalp, thereby enhancing the work of the circulatory system. Hair gain health due to ozonation, which contributes to the death of fungi. During the procedure, the specialist combs dry hair with a nozzle (in the form of a “comb”). Within about 15 minutes, the client experiences positive sensations and receives the desired results.
The recommended number of sessions is: 16 – 18 visits to the doctor on a daily basis, or every other day.
