What is PEMF?
Pulsed Electo-Magnetic Field (PEMF) therapy is a non-invasive treatment that uses electromagnetic pulses to stimulate natural repair processes in the body, such as improving circulation and reducing inflammation. It is cleared by the FDA for uses like bone healing and post-operative pain and is explored for a wide range of conditions, from chronic pain and arthritis to improving sleep.
PEMF Benefits
- Pain Relief & Reduced Inflammation: One of the primary applications, PEMF therapy has been shown to effectively reduce chronic and acute pain by decreasing inflammation and interfering with pain signals sent to the brain. It is used for conditions such as arthritis, fibromyalgia, chronic back pain, and muscle soreness.
- Enhanced Healing & Recovery: The therapy accelerates recovery from injuries, surgeries, and intense physical activity by improving cellular repair mechanisms and tissue regeneration. The FDA has approved PEMF for healing non-union bone fractures.
- Improved Circulation & Oxygenation: PEMF enhances blood flow and helps dilate blood vessels, which allows for more efficient delivery of oxygen and nutrients to damaged tissues while aiding in waste removal.
- Better Sleep Quality: By promoting relaxation, calming the nervous system, and helping to regulate sleep patterns, PEMF can lead to improved and more restorative sleep.
- Increased Energy Levels: At a cellular level, PEMF helps to recharge cells by boosting their energy (ATP) production, which can combat fatigue and improve overall vitality.
- Stress Reduction & Nervous System Support: Many users report reduced anxiety and stress after sessions, which helps in balancing the nervous system and improving mood.
- Improved Bone Health: The therapy stimulates bone growth and has been shown to increase bone density, making it a valuable tool for individuals with osteoporosis or those recovering from fractures.
- Muscle Relaxation & Performance: PEMF can help relax muscles, reduce stiffness and spasms, and decrease lactic acid buildup, which benefits athletes by improving performance and speeding up post-workout recovery.
Can everyone use PEMF?
There are certain situations that PEMF can not be used
- Implanted Electrical Devices: The magnetic fields produced by PEMF devices can interfere with or shut off electronic implants such as pacemakers, cochlear implants, intrathecal pumps, and defibrillators.
- Organ Transplants: PEMF therapy may stimulate the immune system, potentially increasing the risk of organ rejection in patients on immunosuppression medications.
- Pregnancy: The safety of PEMF during pregnancy has not been established due to limited clinical studies.
It is recommended to talk to your health care provider before starting any treatments with Wave Therapy. Some medications can also cause adverse effects because PEMF enhances cellular function. Consequently, this may accelerate the metabolism of the medication.
