What is PEMF Therapy?

PEMF therapy or Pulsed Electromagnetic Field therapy is a revolutionary non-invasive therapy that works by sending electromagnetic waves at various frequencies and strengths to generate energy in your cells. Your body is composed of cells, which can become depleted and sick. As the health adage goes—to get well you have to treat the cell. Think of cells as batteries that need to be charged. In PEMF therapy, the electromagnetic waves (this is not electric current) penetrate the damaged areas of the body stimulating the cells to heal, rejuvenate and charge. PEMF is both natural and safe.

PEMF not only relieves pain but has many benefits ranging from enhancing sleep and relaxation to healing injuries, helping injured organs and even addressing chronic conditions such as diabetes, anxiety/depression and arthritis. Copious research is still be conducted on the benefits of PEMF therapy however scientists have already arrived at consensus on many of the benefits of PEMF.

PEMF therapy has been an FDA-approved therapy for over 40 years and supported by NASA research since the late 1960’s.  In 1979 the FDA approved PEMF for treating bone loss. In 1987 PEMF was approved for edema and pain following surgery.  In 2004, spinal surgery recovery was added to the approved list and in 2011 PEMF was FDA approved for treating depression.

PEMF Benefits Include:

• Mitigating and clearing EMF damage – PEMF magnetic waves are safe and healing. EMF waves (electromagnetic fields) released by practically every electronic device are NOT. EMF’s throw off the natural magnetic frequency of your body. Too much EMF exposure causes cells to get stuck together which in turn causes them to lose up to 70-80 percent of their ability to uptake oxygen. Cells must have oxygen to thrive. PEMF helps unstick cells by separating the blood platelets; this opens up the cells to receive the much-needed oxygen. PEMF also works to reset your body’s natural charge and rebalance your electromagnetic energy.

• Helps the body become more alkaline - Disease cannot live in an alkaline environment. PEMF helps keep the body from becoming too acidic. A high acid environment in the body leads to all kinds of disease and health problems.

• Enhances circulation - PEMF increases blood flow and oxygen delivery to the cells. Improved circulation allows white blood cells to reach needed areas so toxins are more easily flushed out from the body. PEMF improves circulation throughout the entire body.

• Reduces inflammation - All disease starts with inflammation. PEMF delivers oxygen to the cells helping heal the cells and reducing inflammation inside the cell membrane. It increases anti-inflammatory cytokines and lowers inflammatory cytokines. PEMF reduces swelling caused by plastic surgery and relieves arthritic conditions and stiffness.

• Increases cellular energy - PEMF stimulates the production of ATP, the energy source of the cell, which activates cellular repair, healing and regeneration.

• Repairs cells - Magnetic fields strongly impact the charge of the cell membrane by opening up membrane channels. When cell membrane channels open up, nutrients can get into the cell and waste and toxins can get out. Remember, to get well you have to heal the cell.

• Slows down and reverses aging - PEMF lowers the oxidative stress that causes aging. It also increases the production of human growth hormone which slows down aging as well.

• Helps with sleep - Improves sleep quality by regulating the body’s circadian rhythm. PEMF helps your body relax completely which helps both your body and your mind to calm down. This results in the release of two hormones, Melatonin and HGH (Human Growth Hormone). These hormones are responsible for good quality, deep sleep. Quality sleep has enormous positive effects as during quality sleep the body heals itself, detoxes and undergoes cellular regeneration.

• Reduces anxiety and stress - PEMF helps regulate the endocrine and nervous system. Many people report significant changes in their body’s ability to manage stress.

• Improves mood and focus – PEMF enhances blood flow which allows you to feel more energized and increases your ability to focus.

• Orthopedics - Helps with bone and tissue healing. Helps with non-union fractures and failed fusions. PEMF uses electrical energy to transmit pulses to the injured tissues. Every magnetic pulse infuses a small electrical signal that encourages cellular repair, resulting in oxygen uptake and better blood circulation.

There are very few contraindications in PEMF. However the following persons should avoid

PEMF treatment:

• people with a pacemaker, cochlear implants, intrathecal pumps and other kinds of electrical

implants. (Primarily because the magnetic field will interrupt with the functioning of these

devices).

• pregnant women

• individuals suffering from active bleeding or during heavy menstruation.

• persons having undergone organ transplants or immunosuppression
