Functional magnetic stimulation (FMS) is a non-invasive treatment that uses magnetic fields to stimulate nerves and muscles. It can help with a variety of conditions, including urinary incontinence, muscle atrophy, and chronic constipation.
How it works
- A coil in an applicator generates a magnetic field
- The magnetic field penetrates deep into the body, stimulating muscles and nerves
- The stimulation causes muscles to contract, which can help with muscle atrophy and blood circulation
Benefits
- Painless
- No negative side effects known
- Can be used to treat muscle atrophy, neuropathic diseases, and chronic constipation
How it’s performed
- You can sit in a chair or lie on a bed while wearing your clothes
- The length and frequency of treatments depends on your diagnosis and symptoms
- The therapy program is determined after a consultation with a physiotherapist
Other uses
- FMS can also be used to treat urinary incontinence, radiculopathies, and plexopathies
- It can also help with muscle relaxation and pain relief
