🧲What is Pulsed Electromagnetic Field Therapy - PEMFT🧲
▫️Commonly used in vet physio practice, this applicator of PEMFT uses a triple coil alignment within the matt with an electrical current running through to create the magnetic field. This in turn stimulates the damaged cells within the body, accelerating healing times. Depending on the tissue being targeted, the pulse rate and frequency of the electrical current is altered.
▫️It generates a significant depth of field, reaching deeper tissues and structures such as the hip joint.
✅It has a multitude of benefits, as displayed above, and is a great piece of kit as it is hands off and non-invasive so is often very suitable for patients who suffer from acute or chronic pain and do not tolerate hands on techniques initially.

A snippet of research supporting the use of PEMFT:
PEMFT has been found to be useful in metabolising damaged bone affected by trauma, particularly in conditions of impairment such as osteoporosis induced diabetes (Bartolomeo., et al. 2022). Similarly, Barnaba et al (2013) found significant results within their human based study in which cellular proliferation of osteoclasts were stimulated greater than that of their control group who were not exposed to PEMFT. This emphasises the advancement of the modality and having a greater understanding generates significant beneficial results during treatment. It has also shown clinical efficacy within the treatment of osteoarthritis, and by suppressing the inflammatory response and is an adjunct to the management and treatment of pain (Luigi & Tiziano, 2020). This is an especially great complementary approach for non-pharmaceutical pain management.
I use the Biomag from Westville Therapy by Dr David Somerville who has an extensive background in orthopaedic mechanics and research.
