Description of High-Intensity Magnetic Therapy Method

High-intensity magnetic therapy uses powerful electromagnetic fields generated by devices to deeply penetrate body tissues. The magnetic field stimulates cellular and molecular processes through magneto-mechanical interactions. Electromagnetic pulses generated by the device alter the electrical potential of cell membranes, enhancing metabolic processes in the tissues. When body tissues are exposed to a high-intensity magnetic field (3 Tesla or more), it promotes tissue regeneration and improves blood circulation by increasing ion movement within the cells. The magnetic field directly affects nerve endings and muscle fibers, contributing to pain relief, reducing inflammation, and speeding up tissue healing. It stimulates deep muscle structures that are inaccessible to other therapeutic methods.


Core Mechanism:

  • Magnetic Field Generation: The device creates a powerful magnetic field that penetrates deep into the tissues.
  • Electromagnetic Induction: The magnetic field induces an electric field within the body's tissues, stimulating nerves and muscles.
  • Muscle Contraction: As a result, muscles contract, allowing for muscle training without active patient involvement.

This combination of deep impact and the ability to continuously stimulate muscles without pain makes magnetic therapy an effective method, particularly for the pelvic floor muscles, which other physical therapy methods cannot directly target.


Field Intensity Thresholds:

As of late 2024, researchers classify devices based on power as follows:

  • Devices below 3 Tesla fall into the category of medium-intensity. This includes medium-class magnets and medium-intensity electromagnetic stimulation. (Scientific source – opens in a new window).
  • Devices rated at 3 Tesla or more are classified as High-Intensity, High-Inductive Magnetic Stimulation.

Biological effects of high intensity magnet therapy

  • Improving cellular metabolism and increasing ATP production
  • Treatment of pelvic floor muscles (gynecology, urology)
  • Improved microcirculation
  • Accelerated hematoma absorption
  • Pain relief (non-pharmacological analgesia)
  • Regulation of immune responses
  • Anti-inflammatory effect
  • Normalization of muscle tone and body contour sculpting
  • Stimulation of lipolysis and reduction of fat deposits
  • Improved nerve impulse conduction

Effects Note:

"Electromagnetic field devices show clinical applications in sports medicine, aesthetics, urology, rehabilitation, physiotherapy, and pain management by stimulating motor and sensory nerves, inducing muscle contractions, and triggering neuromodulation effects. There is no single preferred protocol. For example, improvements in muscle strength can be achieved with various protocols, and the same protocol may yield different results. However, most studies focused on muscle strength enhancement use the maximum allowable intensity (1000-3000 Hz) to produce strong muscle contractions, while lower intensities (1-160 Hz) are more commonly applied for pain management."

In Klinogicare® Quantum Magnetic Storm, you can select either Muscle Treatment Mode (MT Mode), which offers adjustable oscillation frequencies of 1-150 Hz, or Super Transduction Mode (ST Mode) for deep tissue penetration with frequencies ranging from 1000 to 3000 Hz.


Another point from this literature review states:

"It is important to note that stimulation intensity depends on the patient's tolerance. Increasing the stimulus may lead to discomfort, while lower stimulation levels can result in suboptimal outcomes. Apart from muscle strengthening and body sculpting, where frequency is often unspecified, a frequency of 20 Hz is most commonly used in clinical applications. Achieving clinically significant results requires multiple sessions, with more sessions typically needed for the rehabilitation of motor control issues caused by illness or injury, and pain management, while fewer sessions are required for muscle strengthening and body contouring. Some studies on pelvic floor muscle strengthening reported a dose-dependent effect, where more sessions led to greater improvements, and discontinuing therapy often resulted in symptom recurrence."


Based on the results of this review, we conclude that magnetic stimulation leads to improvements in muscle strength, endurance, physical performance, quality of life, increased muscle size, enhanced aesthetics and patient satisfaction, reduction in musculoskeletal pain, better motor control, decreased spasticity and paresis, improved joint range of motion, and a reduction in incontinence symptoms.

How it works
1
The Magnetic Field Penetrates Deep into Tissues, Even Through Clothing
It passes freely through clothing, skin, soft tissues and even bones, affecting, among other things, hard-to-reach areas of the body.
2
The Magnetic Field Induces a Local Electric Field
This electric field is generated within the tissues without requiring direct contact with the skin, ensuring patient comfort.
3
The Electric Field Stimulates Motor Nerves, Triggering Muscle Contractions
It activates natural muscle contractions similar to those that occur during physical exercise, but without physical strain.
4
Cellular Activity Increases
Muscle contractions enhance cellular metabolism, improving blood circulation and stimulating recovery processes.
5
Increased Muscle Strength and Endurance
Regular stimulation helps strengthen muscles, improves their tone and endurance, which is particularly important for rehabilitation.
6
Prolonged Effect
Relief from pain and muscle spasms, improved spine mobility in cases of osteochondrosis or herniated discs. Strengthening the pelvic floor muscles reduces symptoms of incontinence. Faster recovery after injuries, rehabilitation post-surgery, and treatment of inflammation in tendinitis or shoulder periarthritis. The magnetic field helps relax and restore muscles, reduce chronic pain and tension. It strengthens abdominal muscles and aids in rehabilitation after abdominal surgery, as well as restoring muscle tone after childbirth.
How does a magnetic field activate muscles?
Rapid changes in magnetic field intensity generate an electric current in the neuron, a phenomenon known as electromagnetic induction.
Once the current reaches a certain threshold, it triggers what is known as the neuron's action potential. This leads to depolarization of the neural cell, ultimately causing full muscle contraction.
The image on the left illustrates the process of muscle activation under the influence of a magnetic field.

How does the magnetic field activate a muscle?
  • The B-field (magnetic field) generates an
  • E-field (electric field), which leads to
  • Neuron depolarization, triggering activity.
  • The process then continues as follows:
  • Increased activation threshold and subthreshold activation of depolarized neurons
  • Release of neurotransmitters
  • Presynaptic and postsynaptic action
  • Transsynaptic action
  • Behavioral effect (body's response)
The diagram shows the key stages of how the magnetic field affects muscles through the electric field and neural mechanisms that lead to muscle activation.
ICI and ICF refer to neurophysiological processes related to the inhibition and excitation of nerve cells:
  • ICI (Intracortical Inhibition): This is the process by which neurons in the cerebral cortex inhibit the activity of other neurons, reducing their likelihood of excitation.
  • ICF (Intracortical Facilitation): This refers to the process where neurons enhance the excitability of other neurons, increasing the likelihood of activation.

Both mechanisms play a critical role in regulating neuronal activity and can influence muscle contractions, affecting how the magnetic field activates muscle fibers through the nervous system.

The image on the right shows the graph of a neuron's action potential (electrical activity of a neuronal cell).

  • Action potential is the peak on the graph that occurs when the neuron is excited.
  • Threshold is the minimum level of depolarization required to trigger an action potential. If the stimulus exceeds this threshold, the action potential begins.
  • Stimulus is the initial input that causes membrane depolarization.
  • Depolarization is the process of increasing the membrane potential, which leads to the development of the action potential. This is represented by the upward part of the graph.
  • Failed initiations are attempts to initiate an action potential that did not reach the threshold, and therefore did not result in an action potential.
  • Repolarization is the process of returning the membrane potential to its resting state after activation. This is the downward part of the graph.
  • Refractory period is the period during which the neuron cannot be reactivated until it returns to its resting state.
  • Resting state refers to the membrane's condition before and after the action potential, where the membrane potential stabilizes.

The graph describes the electrical changes in the neuron's membrane in response to stimulation, leading to signal transmission through the nervous system.

Operating Principle and Source of Emission

The operating principle is based on generating powerful magnetic pulses that create an alternating magnetic field. This field penetrates deeply into tissues, stimulating electrochemical processes in cells and affecting both the nervous and muscular systems. The source of the magnetic field is a specialized device that generates a high-intensity magnetic field using inductor coils, which produce pulsed magnetic fields. These fields, through the principle of electromagnetic induction, create localized electric currents in the body’s tissues. These currents activate nerve cells and muscle fibers, leading to their contraction and recovery.


The intensity of the magnetic field generated by the induction coil is proportional to the strength of the current passing through the coil and the number of turns in the conductor. The greater the current and the number of turns in the coil, the stronger the magnetic field generated. As magnetic induction increases, electromagnetic induction in the body's tissues also intensifies, allowing for deeper and more effective tissue penetration.


This is why earlier devices, which appeared several years ago, are now technologically outdated and significantly less powerful and effective compared to modern devices. With the improvement of coil parameters and advances in magnetic field generation technologies, contemporary devices like the Klinogicare® Quantum Magnetic Storm are capable of creating stronger and deeper magnetic fields. By incorporating cutting-edge technologies and enhanced materials, modern devices far surpass their older counterparts in terms of technical specifications, power, and depth of impact. The evolution of magnetic therapy devices continues, and while they have already achieved significant advancements, further technological development will proceed until the physical limits of materials and patient safety are reached.

Additional applications beyond professional sports:


  • Rehabilitation after injuries and operations. It helps to reduce inflammation, improve blood flow in the field of interventions and accelerate tissue repair, which accelerates healing, reduces the risk of complications, and helps avoid the formation of dense scars and adhesions.
  • Neurological rehabilitation. Recovery after strokes and traumatic brain injuries - can promote the regeneration of nerve cells and improve the conduction of nerve impulses. This is especially useful when restoring motor functions after a stroke or head injury. Treatment of peripheral neuropathies - for diabetic neuropathy or traumatic nerve damage.
  • Chronic pain of various etiologies and localization.
  • Relaxing muscle spasm, reducing stress and improving overall well-being is an anti-stress effect. Application in the neck and shoulder areas can help to relax muscles, reduce stress levels and improve overall health. This is especially true for people suffering from chronic stress and overexertion.
  • Chronic inflammatory diseases of the joints (arthritis). Autoimmune diseases - improvement of the general condition of patients with diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis or systemic lupus erythematosus, due to the effect on inflammatory processes.
  • Retraining of muscles and restoration of functions (functional rehabilitation). Increasing the range of motion
  • Preventing or slowing down dysfunctional atrophy
  • Stimulation of bone tissue repair. Treatment of osteoporosis and acceleration of fracture fusion
  • Improvement of blood circulation and lymphatic drainage. Stimulating blood circulation in deep tissues inaccessible to other methods, which helps to accelerate healing, and also contributes to more effective removal of toxins and excess fluid, reducing swelling.
  • Postoperative stimulation of the calf muscles to prevent venous thrombosis
  • Increasing the range of motion
  • Cosmetology and recovery after aesthetic procedures. Recovery after plastic surgery (helps reduce swelling and bruising, accelerates recovery after liposuction, facelifts and other operations). Weight loss and cellulite treatment - improving microcirculation and lymphatic drainage helps in the fight against cellulite, improving the appearance of the skin. And one session of 30 minutes is equivalent to several hours of training in the gym.

Procedure and differences from other types of therapy:


  • The procedure is simple and does not require special patient training, and due to the absence of skin contact, epilation / depilation is not required. The magnetic field penetrates deeper without requiring skin contact, which makes the procedure comfortable even in the presence of wounds or damage.
  • Application through clothing - the patient remains clothed during the procedure. During stimulation, he/she focuses on awareness of muscle contractions, which makes it easier to train muscles and increases convenience and comfort.
  • The therapy is non-invasive, painless and has no known side effects.
  • The improvement can be felt after the very first session.
  • Deeper penetration compared to other methods and exposure to deeper layers of tissues, including bones and internal organs.

Functional high-intensity magnetic stimulation is an effective alternative to traditional methods of electrical stimulation, as it has many advantages for rehabilitation. Magnetic fields are significantly less painful, allow deep penetration into heterogeneous biological tissues and do not require skin contact. Unlike electrotherapy, our device does not stimulate painful nerves on the surface of the skin, which makes the procedure more comfortable compared to classical electrical stimulation.


Magnetic fields pass through clothing, fabrics and bones, reaching previously inaccessible areas. The device uses the super-inductive properties of a magnetic field deep inside the body, stimulating muscles that cannot be reached by electrical stimulation or manual therapy.


Increases the strength and endurance of the pelvic floor muscles. It is ideal for the treatment of pelvic floor muscles and incontinence. The pulsed magnetic field generated by the device causes the pelvic floor muscles to contract without the need for electrodes. In addition, the patient learns how to properly perform exercises to strengthen muscles. This provides effective and long-term relief from uncontrolled urine discharge and weakening of the pelvic floor muscles.

Important Note:

For the head, only rTMS (Repetitive Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation) is applied. This method is used to treat neurological and psychiatric disorders such as depression, migraines, and others. A detailed description and comparison of these technologies is provided below. rTMS targets specific areas of the brain through the skull using magnetic pulses, but this procedure must be performed under the strict supervision of specialized professionals and requires specialized non-standard devices. For more information, see research studies on PubMed: Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation for Post-traumatic Stress Disorder and Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation: Neurophysiological and Clinical Applications.


The Klinogicare® Quantum Magnetic Storm falls into the category of universal classic devices and is suitable for use on all parts of the body, except for the head, due to its high power. However, when used on the shoulder girdle and neck, some of the effects listed in the atlas above may still be experienced.

Types of magnetic therapy technologies and their features:

Typically, these are different names for the same technology, but there are some distinctions. The penetration of the magnetic field into tissues depends on the field intensity and pulse frequency. The magnetic field passes through the body’s tissues without obstruction, including the skin, muscles, and even bones, without being absorbed or scattered like light. Different frequencies and intensities of magnetic pulses affect penetration depth and types of tissues. Unlike light emission, the magnetic field influences cellular ion processes, stimulating metabolism and activating regeneration in muscles, bones, and nerve endings.


  • Pulsed Magnetic Super Transduction (PMST): A high-intensity magnetic therapy that uses pulsed magnetic fields to deeply affect muscles, joints, and bones, stimulating tissues and improving regeneration.
  • High Induction Magnetic Stimulation (HIMS): This technology uses high-inductive magnetic fields to stimulate muscles and tissues by inducing electrical currents in the body’s tissues via powerful alternating magnetic fields. These induced currents can activate nerve and muscle cells, causing contraction and regulating muscle tone.
  • Super Inductive System (SIS): A system using high-intensity magnetic fields focused on pain relief, inflammation reduction, and nerve ending stimulation.
  • Extracorporeal Magnetotransduction Therapy (EMTT): A method using high-intensity pulsed magnetic fields to affect muscles and tissues without penetrating the body, effectively used for tissue regeneration, inflammation treatment, and post-injury recovery.
  • Pulsed Electromagnetic Field (PEMF): Low-intensity pulsed electromagnetic field therapy aimed at stimulating cellular metabolism, improving blood circulation, and reducing inflammation in more superficial tissues.
  • High-Intensity Focused Electromagnetic Technology (HIFEM): A high-intensity focused electromagnetic technology used to restore neuromuscular control.
  • Static Magnetic Therapy: The use of permanent magnets to affect the body, applied for pain reduction, but with less proven efficacy.
  • Repetitive Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (rTMS): A method using repetitive magnetic pulses to affect the brain, applied for treating depression and other neurological disorders.
  • Magneto-Thermal Therapy: A combination of magnetic field and heat therapy used to improve circulation and relieve muscle spasms.
  • High-Intensity Magnetic Therapy (HIMT): Another technology that uses a high-intensity magnetic field to affect the body's tissues.

Abstract

Therapeutic methods taking advantage of low-frequency electromagnetic fields, or in other words, electrical currents contactless-induced by time-variable magnetic fields, enjoy an ever-growing interest in rehabilitation medicine. A great interest is paid to the question of using non-conventional techniques, such as the High Induction Magnetic Stimulation (HIMS). Based on therapeutic principles, it is possible to expect positive effects of this therapy, but this problem has not yet been considered, and thus, there are no research results supporting the HIMS application. Due to this, the target of the article presented here is to study effects of the HIMS on viscoelastic properties of skeletal muscles, since this research has till been missing. Within the framework of the present study, the HIMS was applied to 15 subjects and viscoelastic properties of the muscle were measured before and after the application. The evaluation of hysteresis curves acquired show obvious effects of the HIMS on viscoelastic muscle characteristics. After the HIMS application, the muscle tone was decreased and the elasticity of the tissue exposed was increased in the sample studied.

Summary


Background: A new approach to pain management appeared in a physical therapy. It is technology based on the effect of strong pulsed electromagnetic field in human tissue (the value of induction is in the order of units of tesla). This pilot study examines the analgesic effect of this technology with different diagnoses.


Objective: Verification of an analgesic effect of a strong pulsed electromagnetic field on a sufficient statistical sample in a clinical practice.


Methods: The therapy was performed with 57 randomly selected patients with chronic and acute pain of musculoskeletal system. Patients had 6 therapies in average, 1—2 times per week, 10—15 minutes according to the selected protocol. We used the combination of the Visual Analog Scale (VAS) and the Verbal Numerical Rating Scale (VNRS) to determine the analgesic effect.


Results: Regardless of diagnoses the overall decrease of pain was 37.5 %. There was significant release of pain at 46 patients. There was neither improvement nor worsening of pain in 4 of the 50 patients. Seven patients were excluded from the study.


Conclusion: We have demonstrated the analgesic effect of a strong pulsed electromagnetic field on musculoskeletal pain.

Abstract


Objective: To evaluate the effects of high-energy pulsed electromagnetic fields on unspecific back pain.


Methods: A prospective, randomized, sham-controlled clinical trial with repeated measurements was performed. The study included 5 visits (V0 to V4) with 3 interventions during V1, V2 and V3. Sixty-one patients aged between 18 and 80 years with unspecific back pain (acute inflammatory diseases and specific causes were reasons for exclusion) were included. The treatment group (n = 31) received 1-2 pulses/s, with an intensity of 50 mT, and an electric field strength of at least 20 V/m on 3 consecutive weekdays for 10 min each time. The control group (n = 30) received a comparable sham therapy. Pain intensity (visual analogue scale), local oxyhaemoglobin saturation, heart rate, blood pressure, and perfusion index were evaluated before (b) and after (a) V1 and V3 interventions. Change in visual analogue scale for V1 (ChangeV1a-b) and V3 (ChangeV3a-b), and ChangeData between V3a and V1b (ChangeV3a-V1b) for the remaining data were calculated (results were mean (standard deviation) (95% confidence interval; 95% CI)).


Results: Concerning the visual analogue scale: (i) compared with the control group, the treatment group had higher ChangeV1a-b (-1.25 (1.76) (95% CI -1.91 to -0.59) vs -2.69 (1.74) (95% CI -3.33 to -2.06), respectively), and comparable Change V3a-b (-0.86 (1.34) (95% CI -1.36 to -0.36) vs -1.37 (1.03) (95% CI -1.75 to 0.99), respectively); and (ii) there was a significant marked decrease in Change V3a-1b in the treatment group compared with the control group (-5.15 (1.56) (95% CI -5.72 to -4.57) vs -2.58 (1.68) (95% CI -3.21 to -1.96), p = 0.001, respectively). There was no significant ChangeV3a-V1b in local oxyhaemoglobin saturation, heart rate, blood pressure or perfusion index between the 2 groups and for the same group (before vs after).


Conclusion: Non-thermal, non-invasive electromagnetic induction therapy had a significant and rapid influence on unspecific back pain in the treatment group.
