The application of the low-frequency electrostatic field in the clinical practice

The proposed method is based on the application of the alternating low-frequency high-voltage electrostatic field in the variable regime (the possibility to modulate its intensity, duration of the pulses and intervals between them). The electrostatic field is shown to promote generation of vibrations of different strength in the tissues and their penetration into tissues to an appreciable depth. Such vibrations (displacements) in the tissues produce a variety of effects on the neuro-muscular apparatus and local blood or lymphatic vessels depending on their frequency, strength, and duration; moreover, they influence the state of the internal organs. Selected methods for the application of electrostatic therapy for the correction of pathological changes in the locomotor organs, central and peripheral nervous systems, broncho-pulmonary system, digestive organs, lymphatic and venous insufficiency are described. Detailed information is provided concerning the use of these procedures and relevant technical devices for low-frequency electrostatic therapy; their technical characteristics are presented.
