%X One of the basic diagnostic methods of evaluating the microcirculation vessels is the Laser-Doppler examination which makes it possible to determine the dynamics of the flow and to evaluate the level of blood supply. Among the newest methods of adjunct treatment for various diseases is energotonic therapy which is a modern therapy based on researches carried out in various fields of science: medicine, physics, mathematics, physiology, biochemistry and other. Due to such a wide range of research fields the high tone power therapy may be said to be an interdisciplinary phenomenon. The aim of the research was to evaluate the effects of the high tone power therapy on peripheral microcirculation in the lower limbs. Material and Methods: the research group consisted of 30 people aged from 20 to 60 which was divided into two subgroups. The first subgroup included 16 people treated for peripheral vascular disease in the area of arteries and veins of the lower limbs - 4 and 12 people respectively - and the second subgroup included 14 healthy people. All the examined were undergone a series of 10 procedures of energotonic therapy in the lower limbs by means of the SimulFAMx method. In all the examined before and after the therapy the blood flow was measured using the Laser-Doppler method. Results: an increase in the dynamics of the blood flow in peripheral microcirculation in the lower limbs was observed in all the examined. The results showed certain diversification, yet it was not entirely clear. After the therapy there was a significant increase of the blood flow in patients treated for vascular disorders in comparison with the group of healthy people in which only the minimal values increased significantly. Conclusions: initial results indicate that the high tone energy therapy may be a valuable aid in treating disorders of the peripheral blood circulation.
