High Intensity PEMF (Pulsed Electromagnetic Field) Therapy

  • PEMF is NOT electric stimulation (such as TENS or IFC)

    A non-invasive pulsed electromagnetic frequency (PEMF) penetrates 16 inches through the body to impact:

    • Muscle, Ligament, Tendon, Bone, Organ, Blood, Lymph, Nerve, & the Brain

    PEMF therapy improves:

    • the permeability of cell membranes

    • micronutrient flow in and out of the cell

    • oxygenation of the cells (hyperoxygenation of cells up to 48 hrs post treatment)

    • inflammation

    • detoxification

    • blood circulation

    • & increases ATP (the source of energy for cells)

      • This all aids in cellular repair and recovery of the whole body

    Typically some slight to very mild discomfort is felt during therapy, like a ticking pulse, at the area of dysfunction. Muscles can jump/contract to the pulse, especially if they are inflamed

    • The intensity can be adjusted a great deal to keep the treatment within your tolerance. Some do not feel anything depending on the body region (distal extremities are less reactive due to less soft tissue mass)

    Mechanism of Action:

    • Speed Bone & Fracture Healing (acute or chronic/non-union fractures)

      • Stimulates osteoblastogenesis, suppress osteoclastogenesis, and influence the activity of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs), osteocytes and angiogenesis

      • Can speed up the healing of recent fractures by promoting callus formation

      • Can also improve bone mineral density (BMD) in the spine, knee, etc. of osteoporosis patients

        • Can increase the number and maturity of bone-building cells (osteoblasts), which leads to stronger, denser bone 

        • Can improve bone microstructure by promoting bone formation and reducing bone resorption

    • Speed Soft Tissue Healing (Sprain/Strain, Tendonitis, Capsulitis, Bursitis, Tears)

      • Increase the production of collagen type I and total collagen

      • Modulating inflammatory response: Can reduce the effects of pro-inflammatory cytokines like IL-1, IL-6, and IL-8 

      • Can increase the proliferation of tendon cells (increase tenocytes)

      • Can up-regulate the expression of genes like SCX, VEGF-A, and COL1A1

      • Can improve the organization of collagen

    • Speed Nerve Healing

      • studies showed it improved the diameter & conduction of the nerve

    • Speed Healing after Surgical Procedures

      • Can reduce postoperative recovery period and improve postoperative outcomes

    • Can Disrupt and Significantly Reduce Biofilm From Bacterial or Fungal Fnfection

      • One study revealed that not only can PEMF inhibit S. epidermidis biofilm formation and disrupt preformed biofilms, but when combined with an antibiotic, it can eradicate up to 89% of an established staphylococcal biofilm

    • And More

    • 2-3 Sessions a week for 2-4 weeks (or around 6-12 sessions)

      • More severe conditions may need closer to 18-24 sessions over the course of 2 months

        • Many patients experience a significant and immediate reduction in their pain. Some patients will feel results gradually after each treatment

  • Include, But Not Limited To:

    • Joint Pain-Back, Shoulder, Knee, TMJ, etc.

    • Disc Disorders- Bulge, Herniation, etc.

    • Carpal Tunnel Syndrome

    • Golfers or Tennis Elbow (Epicondylitis)

    • Plantar Fasciitis

    • Bone & Fracture Healing- acute or chronic/non-union fractures, Osteopenia, Osteoporosis

    • Soft Tissue Healing- Sprain/Strain, Tendonitis, Capsulitis, Bursitis, Tears

    • Nerve Healing- Sciatica, Radiculopathy, Neuropathy

    • Speed Healing after Surgical Procedures-including Joint Replacements

    • Reduce Inflammation and Pain related to Arthritis (and slow down its progress)- Degenerative Joint Disease, Degenerative Disc Disease

    • Migraines, Headaches, Depression, Anxiety, Sleep Disorders

    • Wound Healing, Edema, Abscesses

    • GI disorders- Constipation, Ulcers, Pelvic Inflammatory Disease, Menstrual Disorders

    • Fibromyalgia

    • Shingles

    • Post Workout Soreness- amazing tool for athletes to improve their performance & recovery

    • Can Disrupt and Significantly Reduce Biofilm From Bacterial or Fungal Infection (such as Lyme disease or Candida)

    • As well as-Autoimmune disorders, Dissolving blood clots, Cancer, High blood pressure, Diabetes, AFib, etc (these must also be monitored by your PCP)

    • High Intensity PEMF therapy is used for athletic performance, injury prevention, & injury repair
