Medicine never remained aloof from scientific inventions, trying to use them for the benefit of the health and beauty of patients. The issues of suspension of aging, getting rid of diseases with the help of simple manipulations from time immemorial have been especially relevant. At the end of the 19th century, the French scientist Jacques Arsene D'Arsonval came to the conclusion that high-frequency current can be used to treat people. It was in his honor that the device invented by the scientist was named - the darsonvalizer. The Iskra-1 apparatus for darsonvalization is successfully used today.
The essence of the method
Darsonvalization is a physiotherapeutic procedure by which an organism is exposed to a high-frequency current or an electromagnetic field. There are two varieties of darsonvalization - local and general.
During the local exposure procedure, a high-frequency current of up to 500 kHz passes through a glass tube filled with special gas. The action of such impulses is aimed at irritating skin receptors, as a result of which a number of positive changes occur at the sites of exposure:
- blood circulation improves;
- increased vascular tone;
- substances penetrate into the subcutaneous tissues more easily, thereby improving their nutrition;
- physiological processes are accelerated;
- muscle spasm is eliminated, which leads to the removal of pain;
- the state of the vessels improves (their elasticity and elasticity increase).
The apparatus for local darsonvalization Iskra-1 has been successfully used in outpatient departments and hospitals for the treatment of dermatological, neurological, dental, proctological, gynecological, ENT diseases, as well as diseases of the cardiovascular system.
First of all, general darsonvalization differs from the local way of influencing the body. In this case, the person is affected by the electromagnetic flux, and the name implies that the effect is carried out immediately on the whole organism of the patient. The result of such a physiotherapeutic procedure is to lower blood pressure, improve metabolism, and bring the nervous system to rest.
Indications for the procedure
Although the local darsonvalization method has been used for many decades, it has not been fully studied. Based on the proven positive effect of the Iskra-1 apparatus on the human body, it is generally accepted that the indications for its use are:
- Raynaud's syndrome;
- hemorrhoids;
- varicose veins of the lower extremities;
- periodontal disease and gingivitis;
- frostbite;
- wounds that cannot be healed;
- the initial stage of coronary heart disease;
- rhinitis, neuritis of the auditory nerve;
- neuralgia of various origins;
- cosmetic and dermatological problems with skin and hair;
- skin diseases (acne, diathesis, eczema, etc.).
Contraindications
Despite the fact that the modern market for physiotherapy devices offers a large number of portable darsonvals that can be used at home, it is important to consult a doctor before starting the procedure, since this method has a number of contraindications.
It is not recommended to use the Iskra-1 apparatus, as well as any other darsonvalizer, if the following factors are present:
- intolerance to the method of exposure;
- malignant or benign neoplasms, as well as a predisposition to them;
- nervous diseases, in particular hysteria;
- diseases of the circulatory system;
- tuberculosis;
- patient age up to 6 years;
- pregnancy or lactation;
- the last stages of hypertension;
- hyperthermia (fever) as a result of any disease;
- heart failure.
Possible complications
In deciding to use the Iskra-1 darsonvalization apparatus, the likelihood of side effects should be considered. Therefore, before starting treatment, it is important to consult a specialist and conduct a comprehensive examination.
The most minor complication after the session may be an allergic reaction. The most significant problem that the procedure can provoke is the appearance of cancer, or the degeneration of a benign tumor into a malignant one.
Instrument composition
The apparatus for local darsonvalization Iskra-1 is one of the representatives of the domestic manufacturing industry. The kit of this device includes nozzles that allow it to be used to treat a variety of diseases. Among the nozzles are the following:
- scallop;
- mushroom-shaped small and large;
- auricular;
- gingival;
- rectal large and small;
- vaginal.
Before starting use, it is necessary to familiarize yourself with the instructions for the Iskra-1 apparatus, which is also supplied with the instrument. It is recommended to pay special attention to safety measures when working with darsonval and the procedure for working with the device in order to achieve maximum effect and prevent negative consequences.
