Pulsed electromagnetic field therapy, or PEMF is a safe, effective treatment for many types of health conditions. Some people use it for arthritic pain, while others use it for fibromyalgia, insomnia, and even chronic lung and cardiovascular illnesses. Unlike medicine and surgery, PEMF therapy doesn’t have dangerous or serious side effects.
There are many types of PEMF machines on the market, direct to consumer so it doesn’t require multiple trips to the doctor for treatment. The beauty of this is that PEMF can be used on-demand: whenever you have an acute flare-up or especially bad day; or, for daily maintenance of health.
And, since it is safe and doesn’t involve drugs, PEMF therapy can be used with other interventions that you may be currently using to reduce pain and inflammation, which leads to faster healing and recovery.
You may be wondering at this point, “how does Pulsed EMF work?”
PEMF – The Basics
As the name implies, PEMF therapy uses magnetic pulses that it sends into the body to speed up healing of weak cells, and therefore recovery. The human body emanates electric charges (think brain and nerve impulses and charged molecules and ions like Ca+, Mg+, H+ and OH-) and just like inanimate things that require electricity or batteries to keep them going, your body needs “recharging” once in a while. Several trillions of cells comprise your body, depending on how big you are, so it’s not surprising that many of them can break down at any time.
Healthy, normally-functioning cells have a balance between positive and negative charges (see image below). As these charges flow inside and between adjacent cells, electrical currents are produced. This electrical flow is the means by which nutrients and waste products enter and exit through cells, via special structures called ion channels. For example, when nerves are stimulated, they “depolarize,” where the negative and positive charges rapidly exchange position (inside vs. outside the membrane) and move down the nerve. This is called an “action potential” and is the actual means by which our nerves are able to contract our muscles, control our organs and send sensory signals to our brain.
When this critical flow of electrical currents through cells is disrupted, cells don’t carry out their functions as well as they need to. This leads to illness and symptoms. Things like trauma, disease processes, and exposure to toxins can alter these electrical signals. Pulsed electromagnetic therapy uses the same, natural frequencies produced in the body to give these cells a boost in energy. This restores the positive and negative charges in the weakened cells to their ideal state so they can once again function normally.
You may have heard of the dangers of electromagnetic fields (EMF) or electromagnetic radiation, especially if you follow alternative health websites. The frequencies used for PEMF therapy is nowhere near that of harmful EMF such as X-rays, gamma rays and microwaves. PEMF generates non-ionizing radiation, identical in frequencies already emitted by your body and therefore generally accepted as harmless to humans.
Health Benefits of PEMF therapy
There are many research studies that support the use of PEMF therapy for a wide range of disorders, from acute (recent; active) injury or health problems to chronic pain.
According to studies, PEMFs are useful in treating post-surgical pain; pain related to diabetic neuropathy, joint pain from osteoarthritis, and chronic lower back pain. PEMF therapy has also been shown to increase the healing rate of nonunion fractures, and even increase bone density in those who have osteoporosis. PEMFs ability to increase microcirculation to tissues is likely a factor.
Perhaps most impressively, PEMFs can help your body decrease inflammation, which is present in many chronic conditions including fibromyalgia, inflammatory arthritis, chronic fatigue syndrome, and autoimmune disorders such as Chron’s disease.
There are even studies that found PEMF therapy to have measureable, positive effects on those battling depression and anxiety, with long-term, daily treatment.
Conclusion: Pulsed EMF is a safe alternative for healing
If you are battling disease and/or pain, consider trying Pulsed EMF. It has scientific research going back over 40 years that support its many health benefits, and it is comparatively safe/ low risk to most individuals (those with heart conditions and implants should check with their doctor first). PEMF machines produce electromagnetic fields at the same frequency as the human body’s, so cells respond to them in a positive way.
PEMF machines available for home use are low intensity, so there is no danger of excessive exposure that could lead to significant adverse side effects. Treatment time can vary from just a few minutes to continuous, overnight use, depending on the problem being treated. The machines offered on our site are established leaders in PEMF technology, from the Russian-manufactured Almagia line to the HTC products—FlexPulse, BioBalance and TeslaFit lines.
There are some higher intensity machines (TeslaFit) meant for use in clinics that are more effective for long-standing, chronic conditions rooted deep inside the body; but most conditions can benefit from the lower intensity units.
The FlexPulse is a low intensity, portable PEMF unit available direct to consumer. It was developed based on NASA stem cell research done over 15 years ago, and decades of research on brain entrainment (synchronizing biological frequencies) and neurofeedback. By increasing stem cell (cells that can turn into any type of cell) production, the FlexPulse promotes safe, natural regeneration with no side effects. Specific, pre-programmed frequencies mimic brain patterns to promote relaxation or alertness, enhance sleep, and relieve pain depending on your treatment goals.
The FlexPulse is a compact, wearable system that comes with two small pad applicators making it easy to use anytime, anywhere. The system comes with a 30 -day satisfaction guarantee and a 2-year International warranty, making it a no-risk healing alternative.
