Abstract

This paper illustrates the possibility of application of magnetic fields in clinical practice as exemplified by the available experimental data on the primary biophysical process initiated by magnetic fields. The action of the magnetic fields on various organs is described. Their neurotropic and peripheral therapeutic effects are discussed along with the mechanisms underlying them. Recommendations for the application of magnetic therapy in different pathological conditions are proposed. The indications and contraindications for their use are considered.
