Super Inductive System (SIS)
BTL’s Super Inductive System technology uses a unique high intensity electromagnetic field. The electromagnetic field, produced by a coil placed on the applicator, interacts with the human body and causes neuromuscular tissue to depolarize. According to the selected excitation frequency and the intensity of the electromagnetic field, we can achieve:
- Pain relief
- Joint mobilization
- Fracture treatment
- Treatment of bone edema
- Muscle stimulation, muscle relaxation or strengthening
- Reduction of spasticity
- Increase collagen and healing process
As SIS targets neuromuscular tissue, it can be used in the treatment of acute and chronic pain of the musculoskeletal and nervous system.
With specific settings, the interaction between the electromagnetic field and the muscle, brings about the desired muscle contraction. Due to the repeated contractions of the muscles that surround the joint, the liberation of its movement is achieved.
Due to the strengthening of local blood circulation and tissue metabolism, SIS is indicated in the healing of fractures from the very first stage, as in order to strengthen weak muscles, SIS causes muscle contractions, activating the action potential in the neuromuscular tissue.
With high-frequency stimulation, SIS effectively eliminates muscle tension and can therefore be used in the treatment of spastic disorders.
The treatment affects the body through the magnetic fields it produces through 2 main mechanisms:
- In-depth stimulation of muscle and nerve tissues due to the strong magnetic fields that enter the entire depth and mobilize all the structures, compared to electrotherapy whose course of propagation of the currents is mainly superficial. This effect is more aimed at treating neurological conditions such as peripheral nerve damage, denervated muscles, atrophy, muscle spasms, ankylosis, muscle strengthening, joint mobilization and others.
- Magnetic resonance of all cells of the body through the transient orientation of the magnetic moment of elements with an odd number of protons in their nucleus (mainly hydrogen). Through this biological phenomenon, pain problems, tendinitis, arthritis, fractures and others are treated. The combined effect of the above briefly creates the following biological effects: – analgesia with the production of endorphins – improvement of cell membrane function through a K-Na pump that determines its permeability – regulation of function sympathetic-parasympathetic nervous system – hyperemia – increase in white blood cells – increase in collagen production – faster calcification – anti-inflammatory effect – increase in metabolism.
BENEFITS OF THERAPY
The great benefits of the Super Inductive System are that the treatment can be applied without direct contact with the skin over clothes or even over a cast in case of a fracture for faster healing.
