Magnetic therapy treatment in rheumatology is indicated for inflammatory and degenerative diseases affecting joints, muscles and the peripheral nervous system, conditions often characterised by persistent pain and a limitation of movement.
The action of electromagnetic fields helps to reduce inflammatory processes, limit pain and improve motor function, supporting the body’s natural recovery mechanisms. This allows for better joint mobility and more effective management of symptoms over time.
Magnetic therapy treatment in rheumatology helps to modulate and reduce inflammatory processes, helping to contain pain and improve joint mobility. The action of electromagnetic fields even supports motor function, promoting better performance in movements and a more effective management of symptoms over time. The therapy is applied in the presence of numerous rheumatological pathologies, including algodystrophy (Sudeck’s disease), arthritis, periarthritis, osteoarthritis and osteoarthritis, as well as joint rheumatism, bursitis and fibromyalgia. It is also used for conditions such as carpal tunnel syndrome, cervical and lumbar radiculopathies without neurological deficit, heelitis, tendonitis and epicondylitis.

Yes, magnetotherapy is used to modulate inflammatory processes at a joint level and contribute to pain reduction. Electromagnetic fields act to support cellular metabolism and can promote a better balance of inflammatory responses, improving mobility and joint function over time.
Yes, magnetic therapy can be used as a support in the management of fibromyalgia, helping to improve widespread pain, muscle stiffness and quality of life. The combined effect on inflammation and pain perception can promote greater general wellbeing.
