2. MECHANISMS OF THERAPEUTIC EFFECTS
2.1. General mechanisms of action
Electromagnetic waves in the millimeter (MM) range have
a low capacity to penetrate biological tissues (0,2-0,6 mm),
are almost fully absorbed by the upper layers of the skin
and by the water, hydrated proteins and collagen bres con-
tained in them and do not have a thermal eect. At the cel-
lular level, electromagnetic waves in the MM range activate
the metabolism through calcium-dependent processes. The
response of the body is manifested in the skin and visceral
reexes as well in the general reaction aimed at strengthen-
ing the adaptation, adjustment and defence capacity. The
healing eects are achieved through the central and periph-
eral nervous system as well as through the protective and
regulatory systems of the body. Electromagnetic waves in
the MM range thus regulate the cellular biochemical activity
and physiological functions of the body in general.
The eects mentioned above are clinically manifested
in anti-inammatory, analgesic and anti-oedematous ac-
tion, improved tissue regeneration, increased non-specic
resistance of the body through stimulation of the immune
system, in enhanced systemic and regional hemodynam-
ics, normalised regulation of the autonomic nervous system
and in anti-stress action.
