2020 Study on NIH National Library of Medicine explains science behind and success of PEMF on healing bone, cartilage, joint inflammation!
EXCERPT: The US FDA has approved pulsed electromagnetic fields (PEMFs) as a safe and effective treatment for nonunions of bone. … Recently, cell membrane receptors have been identified as the site of action of PEMF and provide a mechanistic rationale for clinical use. … Through these actions, PEMF can increase the structural integrity of bone and cartilage ECM, enhancing repair, and alter the homeostatic balance of signaling cytokines, producing anti-inflammatory effects. PEMFs exert a proanabolic effect on the bone and cartilage matrix and a chondroprotective effect counteracting the catabolic effects of inflammation in the joint environment.
