Abstract

The invention relates to of medicine and medicine equipment and concerns techniques and means for medicinal action with electromagnetic fields to living tissues. A method provides a stimulating effect of an electromagnetic field to metabolic processes in tissues of an organism, that result in positive shifts of a functional state of regulatory systems. On a contactless electromagnetic action to members of a vascular system, biomechanical, bioelectrical and bioresonant processes in the vascular system control the tone of a vascular wall with a high degree of selectivity. The method and device allow to reduce treatment periods, post-operative and other types of rehabilitation due to a deep contactless interaction of biological tissues of a patient, provided by sensor fields of the organism at an information level, with low-frequency electromagnetic fields that are created by the inventive device with special bioadequate parameters relative to dynamic (that is, time and shape parameters), amplitude and geometric-spatial properties. The inventive device consists of a specialized biosynchronized generator of low-frequency electrical signals that arrive at an electromagnetic inductor converting the electrical signals into electromagnetic fields having given electromagnetic properties determined as a result of fundamental theoretical studies and experiments.
