[Efficiency of therapeutically applied physical factors for vibration disease caused by exposure to local vibration (review of literature).]

Important role in treatment and prophylaxis for vibration disease due to local vibration is played by physical factors. If high frequency components prevalent in occupational vibration, treatment with electric therapy, laser, magnetic fields, lymphatic drainage, hydrotherapy provides influence on leading chains of systemic microangiopathies pathogenesis - dysbalance of regulation influences by vegetative nervous system, vasoconstriction and intravascular changes, vascular permeability and microcirculation disorders. If low frequency coomponents prevalent in occupational vibration, treatment of polyneuropathies and locomotory disorders incorporates trophic processes activation: transcranial electroanalgesia, surface application of mineral waters, manual and subwater massage, ozone therapy, local spark discharges, peloids. Complex use of physical methods also increases human adaptational resources.
