- co-existing illnesses (dEF1 and dEF2 lists are used only

- the number of treatments and their duration

3.1 Magnetostimulation
1. Therapy should be conducted upon
a diagnosis and doctor’s consultation
2. Magnetostimulation, like other forms of
physical therapy, usually does not bring
immediate effects. They depend on the
nature of the illness, its length and coexist-
ing illnesses. The individual reaction to this
type of treatment is also important.
3. Magnetostimulation complements primary
treatment. Changes in treatment (par-
ticularly pharmacological) should be intro-
duced only after doctor’s consultation.
4. When lying down on a large applicator
(mat, frame bed), the head should always
be positioned near the cable outlet.

A table containing applicator combinations
is on page 11. The applicators, when used
simultaneously on a patient, intensify the
effect of variable magnetic field, and, there-
fore, accelerate the therapeutic effect. Two
elliptic applicators of the same color cannot
be used on one patient in respect to the
same body part. It is, however, possible to
use any two applicators on two patients.
Other combinations require consultations
with the distributor.
