Pulsed Electromagnetic Field (PEMF) therapy utilizes electromagnetic fields to deliver pulsed energy waves to the body. At the cellular level this regenerative therapy targets inflammation and stimulates repair. PEMF has been used for various therapeutic purposes and has gained attention in the fields of medicine, rehabilitation, and wellness. Here are some common applications of PEMF therapy:

1. Pain management: PEMF therapy has been used to alleviate pain associated with various conditions, including musculoskeletal disorders, arthritis, fibromyalgia, and neuropathic pain. The electromagnetic pulses are believed to help reduce inflammation, increase blood circulation, and promote the production of endorphins, which are natural pain-relieving substances.

2. Bone healing and fracture recovery: PEMF therapy has shown promising results in aiding the healing process of fractures and promoting bone regeneration. It is often used as an adjunct treatment alongside traditional approaches.

3. Wound healing: The electromagnetic fields delivered through PEMF therapy may stimulate cellular activity and enhance tissue regeneration, making it beneficial for wound healing.

4. Neurological disorders: Some studies suggest that PEMF therapy may have a positive impact on certain neurological conditions such as multiple sclerosis, Parkinson's disease, and stroke rehabilitation.

5. Sleep disorders: It is believed to help regulate the sleep-wake cycle and promote relaxation, leading to improved sleep quality.

6. Sports performance and recovery: Athletes and fitness enthusiasts have utilized PEMF therapy to potentially enhance performance, reduce muscle soreness, and expedite recovery from injuries or intense workouts.

It's important to say, that while there is evidence supporting all these benefits of PEMF therapy for many conditions, the research is still ongoing, and we are getting results and learning more everyday. Check pubmed.gov for research on PEMF and your condition to see if it might help.

PubMed® comprises more than 35 million citations for biomedical literature from MEDLINE, life science journals, and online books. Citations may include links to full text content from PubMed Central and publisher web sites.

INTRO TO ELECTROMAGNETIC SCIENCE
Intro to Electromagnetic Science
Magnetic field therapy can be effective in a wide range of health conditions. But before it is used for healing, it is important to have a basic understanding of some of the physical characteristics of magnetic science, including electric and magnetic fields and some of their actions on the body.

All matter is made up of moving particles. Forces exist in the space around these moving (electrical) particles. Those forces are magnetic fields. By definition, force is an interaction that changes the motion of an object.

An electric field is the force field created by the flow of electricity (caused by the attraction and repulsion of electric charges). A magnetic field is the force field created as a consequence of the flow of electricity. Electric fields and magnetic fields always exist in tandem – one cannot exist without the other. An electromagnetic field, then, is the combination of an electric field and a magnetic field.

Let’s back up briefly and talk about charge. Electric charges can either be positive or negative. Positively charged substances repel other positively charged substances, but attract negatively charged substances. Conversely, negatively charged substances repel other negatively charged substances, and attract positively charged substances.

Our bodies are fundamentally electric. When a person goes into cardiac arrest, for example, a defibrillator is used to apply electrical energy to the heart so that it can reestablish a normal rhythm.

So, the electricity that flows through our body creates electromagnetic fields. External magnetic fields and the body’s native magnetic fields interact regularly. Because of these interactions, a magnetic field passing through the body will have an electromagnetic effect on a cellular level.

Electric and magnetic fields control our chemistry by changing and influencing the motion of charged particles. This movement stimulates a vast array of chemical and electric actions in tissues, helping them rebalance or heal themselves where necessary. Additionally, this increased motion of ions and electrolytes helps cells increase their available energy by as much as 500%.

Electromagnetic fields affect the charge of the cell membrane, rebalancing it so that membrane channels can open up. These channels are like the doors and windows of a house – by opening them, oxygen and nutrients are better able to enter the cell, and carbon dioxide and waste are more easily eliminated from the cell. This helps to rebalance and restore optimum cell function.

If you restore and rebalance enough cells, they will all work more efficiently. Cells of the same type come together to make tissues, which come together to make organs. By restoring or maintaining cellular function, you will in turn restore or maintain organ function, allowing the entire body to function better. This is the basis for magnetic field therapy – affecting and improving basic cellular function in order to combat a variety of health conditions and when possible, prevent cellular damage from happening in the first place.

PEMF has been used for decades to treat a variety of conditions and is non-pharmaceutical and has no side effects.

PEMF can help reduce inflammation and pain in addition to accelerate healing.
PEMF can be used either as a preventative to injury, especially for animals involved in sport, or to treat specific conditions such as:
* Arthritis
* Tendon and Ligament Tears
* Joint Conditions
* Neurologic Injuries
* Hip Dysplasia
* Degenerative Joint Disease
* Degenerative Myelopathy
* Fresh and Delayed Union Bone Fractures
* Stiffness and Muscle Soreness
* Post Op ACL surgery
* Stress
* For animals with pain due to orthopedic diseases as well as spinal and neurologic pain
* Spinal compression and to help relieve the pain associated with intervertebral disc disease

Rocky has bilateral ACL partial tears diagnosed Jan. 06, 2023. He received PEMF and herbal supplements and one prolozone injection. He’s vet said this is normally what you see at 6 months + for recovery.

When they can’t decide who is first for PEMF 🤣🤣

There is substantial scientific literature showing electromagnetic fields have interesting and potentially significant biological effects on animal cells and tissues. PEMF devices can affect the levels of calcium and nitric oxide in tissues, which can influence extensive and complex pathways involved in metabolism, inflammation, pain transduction, tissue growth and repair, and many other biological activities. PEMF devices also have been shown to affect gene expression, vasomotor tone, and many other physiologic processes.

The US Food and Drug Administration has approved the use of PEMF in the treatment of non-union fractures. As a form of treatment, magnetic therapy is most often used to enhance healing from injuries and wounds or to treat chronic conditions such as tendonitis, degenerative joint disease, hip dysplasia, vertebral disease, and lameness caused by other musculoskeletal or neurologic conditions.

As a whole, PEMF therapy is free from side effects.
