PEMF Therapy

Speed healing throughout your body! If you’re looking to improve circulation, mood and sleep or want to reduce pain and increase bone healing and density, give PEMF therapy a try!

Pulsed Electro-Magnetic Field Therapy (PEMF) uses bursts of low-level electromagnetic energy to speed the healing of damaged tissues and bone, relieve injury-related pain, and even stimulate organs. Pulsed Electro-Magnetic Field Therapy sends magnetic energy into the body to naturally influences electrical changes on a cellular level and influences cellular metabolism. Current research demonstrated PEMF therapy healed bones faster, reduced pain due to injury, arthritis and more, and even helped regenerate parts of the liver that had been removed. It can also assist the body with “osteo-integration” when used after knee or hip replacement surgery. PEMF therapy is a safe, non-invasive way to assist your body in creating its own healing and it has become an increasingly popular way to approach injuries and chronic pain, as well as various chronic conditions such as depression, insomnia, lyme, diabetes and osteoporosis to name a few.

What does PEMF therapy do?

Magnetic fields protect against cell injury by improving circulation, repair processes, and energy, and increasing special stress proteins in the cells. These proteins are used to prevent cell breakdown and wear and tear, as well as help speed recovery from injury. Magnetic fields balance cells, tissues and bodily functions at very fundamental levels, even before damage and problems become obvious to you.

Magnetic fields also affect the charge of the cell membrane, which allows membrane channels to open up. By opening cell channels, nutrients are better able to enter the cell, and waste is more easily eliminated from the cell. This helps to rebalance and restore optimum cell function. If you restore enough cells, they will all work more efficiently.

PEMFs are extremely low frequencies (ELFs), to very low frequencies (VLFs), Their role is to stimulate the various functions of the body so that the body can better support and heal itself.

When treatment is begun, the order of healing will follow the body’s own wisdom of what tissue and symptoms will be cleared first, second, etc. Patience and acceptance of this natural order will aid in the healing process.

What are some of the basic beneficial actions PEMFs will have in my body?

Increased Circulation

One of the most basic functions magnetic fields have in the body is to increase circulation.

Improved circulation helps tissues get the nutrition and oxygen they need, while expelling the waste they produce. Good circulation helps with tissue healing and regeneration. The result of improved circulation is the reduction of swelling and the removal of bruising.

PEMFs will enhance optimal energy which allows muscles to work harder and longer, as well as recover more quickly from their work.

PEMFs have been found to reduce chronic, damaging inflammation.

Bone Healing

PEMFs work to repair bones, whether they are damaged by surgery, injury, or disease. PEMFs have been found to improve bone regeneration, such as occurs with osteoporosis and osteopenia, among other bone destroying conditions.

Athletic Injury Healing

PEMFs help the body heal faster. This is especially useful when an athlete experiences an injury such as a sprain, strain, tear or fracture and needs to return to competing as soon as possible.

Blood Oxygenation

PEMFs help with the process of extracting oxygen out of the air we breathe and help it to be transported into the circulation. The absorbed oxygen is then transported through the body to all the cells, where it is absorbed into the individual cells.

Furthermore, in the cells, enzymes and other basic cell energy production processes use the oxygen for cell metabolism, the energy necessary to function properly. The metabolism of an organism determines which substances it will find nutritious and which it will find harmful. Proper blood-oxygen levels at the cell level (not just in the blood) allow this process to continue quickly and efficiently. After the oxygen exchange takes place, veins carry deoxygenated blood and metabolic waste products away from those same cells and back to the heart for recycling again.

In addition to these basic balancing actions, magnetic fields also help with many other functions and conditions, and new ones are discovered regularly.

Some of these other actions include:

• reducing muscle tension
• improving tissue healing
• reducing pain
• increasing energy
• improving clotting factors
• slowing the development of arthritis
• stimulating the immune system
• helping the body to detoxify
• improving the uptake of nutrients
• reducing blood pressure
• helping nerve function
• helping liver function
• balancing the acupuncture meridians
• improving sleep
• making soft tissue more flexible
• reducing arthritic changes
