The healing effects of magnets were known several centuries ago already. A rumors says that the Chinese would know and use magnets some 4.500 B.C. In the history, magnetic powder was used in a form of pills, compress and so. The compress with magnetic powder worked very well in case of healing injuries, after accidents, pain in joints or back and if joints were contused and swollen. First electromagnets were made during 1826 – 1928 by W. Sturgeon (English) and J. Henry (American).
As for our country, the one who restored the Magnetic Therapy in ‘80s was Dr. Jiří Jeřábek. He presented practical results of the Magnetic Therapy with various types of diseases and also prof. Chvojka who made a huge effort to heal serious fractures by means of Magnetic Therapy. Dr. Jeřábek took part in creation of medical device ULTICARE, which is the unique machine used in treatment and precaution of various types of diseases.
