I am asked frequently if PEMF uses an electric current/stimulation such as ArcEquine, EquiPod or TENS device. It does not, they are completely different deliveries. MagnaWave is a Pulsed Electro Magnetic Field. Although the goal with most modalities is to aide the body in healing of various issues and degrees, many can only target a small area, others (PEMF) have the ability to address the whole body. Which includes passing through soft tissue, bone, digestive systems, etc. Yet can also target small areas.
Similarities Between Microcurrent Technology and MagnaWave PEMF
1. Stimulation of Cellular Function:
Both technologies work at the cellular level to enhance cellular function, and both technologies are frequency therapies that work with the body’s natural frequencies.
2. Non-Invasive:
Both are non-invasive therapies designed to support the body’s natural healing processes without the need for medication or surgery.
3. Pain Relief and Anti-Inflammation:
Both modalities help reduce pain and inflammation by improving circulation and reducing stress in tissues.
4. Holistic Healing:
They address the root causes of discomfort (e.g., poor circulation, inflammation, or cellular dysfunction) rather than simply masking symptoms.
Differences Between Microcurrent Technology and MagnaWave PEMF
1. Method of Action
• Microcurrent Technology:
Delivers extremely low levels of electrical current directly to the skin via electrodes or probes.
Mimics the body’s natural electrical signals to restore balance and encourage healing in targeted areas.
Limited to superficial tissue and relies on skin contact for effectiveness.
• MagnaWave PEMF:
Uses pulsed electromagnetic fields to induce electrical charges in cells, enhancing ion exchange and cellular activity.
Penetrates deep into tissues, including muscles, tendons, bones, and joints, without direct skin contact.
Works through casts, clothing, or fur, making it especially versatile for hard-to-reach areas or cases where direct contact isn’t possible.
2. Depth of Pe*******on
• Microcurrent Technology:
Effective primarily for surface-level or slightly deeper tissues. It is ideal for skin healing, scars, and certain musculoskeletal issues but limited in depth.
• MagnaWave PEMF:
Can pe*****te up to 16 inches into the body, depending on the device and settings.
This makes it highly effective for treating deeper tissue injuries, bone healing, and systemic conditions.
3. Application Flexibility
• Microcurrent Technology:
Requires electrodes or probes to be precisely placed on or near the treatment area. This can make it less convenient for large or hard-to-reach areas.
• MagnaWave PEMF:
Does not require direct contact with the skin. It works through barriers like clothing, casts, or animal fur, providing ease of use in a variety of situations.
4. Target Area vs. Systemic Benefits
• Microcurrent Technology:
Primarily targets specific, localized areas and is not as effective for full-body systemic benefits.
• MagnaWave PEMF:
Can be used both locally and systemically, promoting circulation and cellular health throughout the body.
5. Suitability for Conditions
• Microcurrent Technology:
Not suitable for all conditions: Microcurrent is most effective for mild pain or soft tissue injuries, such as minor strains or scars. It may not be appropriate for severe or acute problems, or for addressing deeper structural issues.
• MagnaWave PEMF:
Versatile for both mild and severe conditions, including chronic pain, deep tissue injuries, bone fractures, and systemic inflammation.
6. Session Length
• Microcurrent Technology:
In animals, microcurrent devices often need to be worn continuously for 12 hours to 5 days to achieve optimal effects. This can require careful monitoring and adjustment.
• MagnaWave PEMF:
Sessions typically last 15 to 45 minutes and are conducted at spaced intervals, making it a more time-efficient option for both practitioners and clients.
Advantages of MagnaWave PEMF
1. Deeper Tissue Pe*******on:
The electromagnetic waves can reach tissue layers that microcurrent technology cannot, including areas beneath casts, splints, or bandages.
Effective for treating deep-seated pain, joint issues, or bone injuries.
2. Convenience and Versatility:
No need to remove clothing, bandages, or casts for treatment.
Works for humans and animals alike, making it highly adaptable for different applications.
3. Systemic Healing:
MagnaWave can improve whole-body circulation and reduce inflammation throughout the body, offering broader benefits for chronic conditions or full-body recovery.
4. Accelerated Recovery:
Deep pe*******on and stimulation enhance circulation and cellular repair more effectively than superficial methods, speeding up recovery times.
5. Time-Efficient Sessions:
With sessions lasting only 15 to 45 minutes, MagnaWave PEMF provides significant results in a shorter period compared to the extended wear required for microcurrent devices.
Complementary Use of Microcurrent and MagnaWave PEMF
Both modalities can be highly effective when used correctly, and their unique strengths make them excellent complements to each other when applied by an educated practitioner
