Pulsed Electromagnetic Field Therapy (PEMF)

PEMF therapy is a non-invasive way to reduce pain and inflammation. It can be used to supplement and enhance currently existing healthcare modalities. Research has proven Neurological and Psychological benefits with the use of PEMF.

All energy is electromagnetic in nature, and nothing happens in the body without an electromagnetic exchange between cells. Your body is made up of roughly 35 trillion cells which are performing 1,009 processes a second. Every cellular function in your body DOES NOT happen without a magnetic field exchange.

Pulsed electromagnetic fields stimulate and exercise the body's cells. PEMF infuses the body with energy at the cellular level that supports the body's self-regulating, self-regenerating and natural healing abilities.

By using a Pulsing magnetic field generator you can directly force the natural cellular functions that are responsible to heal and maintain your body.

The body may use that energy to:

• heal and regenerate itself

• enhance its natural recovery process

• assist with muscle fatigue and discomfort after exercise

• increase energy or support relaxation

• balance the body’s interconnected systems 

In addition to these basic balancing actions, pulsed electromagnetic fields also help with many other functions and conditions, and new ones are discovered regularly.

Some of these other actions include:

• reduces pain and inflammation

• reduces muscle tension

• Speeds up recovery of acute injury (e.g. fractures, strains, sprains, tears, bruising)

• Enhances muscle function-Improving strength, endurance, and muscle regeneration

• improving skin and wound healing

• Improves bone healing- increases calcium transport and absorption in bones and cartilage in joints.

• increases circulation

• Increases blood oxygenation and oxygen utilization of diseased or damaged tissues

• Increases energy

• Reduces stress

• Restores cell membrane potential and improves cell hydration

• Influences cell behaviour by inducing electrical changes around and within the cell and increasing ATP

• Stimulates the immune system

• Helps the body to detoxify

• improves the uptake of nutrients

• reducing blood pressure

• helping nerve function

• helping liver function

• improving sleep- Improving sleep and relaxation through melatonin production

• pain reduction Pain management or treatment for chronic injuries (e.g. back pain, joint pain)

• Stimulates endorphins, serotonin and the body’s natural healing process

• Provides relief for chronic physical and mental conditions such as arthritis, multiple sclerosis (MS), osteoporosis, plantar fasciitis, chronic fatigue syndrome, Fibromyalgia, depression, Parkinson’s disease, anxiety, and many more.

These are only a few applications of PEMF therapy. Research on PEMF is ever-expanding because each body responds uniquely based on its needs.

PEMF therapy can benefit a wide array of persons, whether they’re experiencing a new health issue, or have been managing the same condition for years.

Bear in mind, though, that you don’t need to be already experiencing an injury to benefit from PEMF treatment—it’s also effective when used proactively and for prevention’s sake.

By treating the body with pulsed electromagnetic forces before any conditions arise, you can help protect yourself from more serious problems down the line. The best way to ensure cell health is to begin with pulsed electromagnetic field treatment before you think it’s needed—this will give you the best chance of not only treating developing issues, but also improving the quality of your body’s healing process in case of a future injury.

So how does it work?

Some of the basic actions of a cell are to generate energy to eliminate waste, to repair and regenerate itself, and perform its predetermined functions based on the cell’s type and location in the body. Magnetic fields cause or increase motion of ions and electrolytes in the tissues and fluids of the body. It’s both easy and quick to move an ion or electrolyte in a living organism using magnetic fields. This movement stimulates a vast array of chemical and electric actions in the tissues of the body, helping them to rebalance or heal themselves where necessary.

All cells need energy to function. Cellular energy requires ATP (Adenosine Triphosphate) and is fundamental to all cell and body functions and is necessary to sustain life itself. ATP regulates cell metabolism by transporting chemical energy within our cells. Low ATP levels cause our cells to be sick, and decrease their ability to heal, regenerate, or function properly. Through the increased motion of ions and electrolytes, magnetic fields help cells increase their energy (or “charge”) by up to 500%.

Magnetic fields also affect the charge of the cell membrane, which allows membrane channels to open up. These channels are like the doors and windows of a house. By opening cell channels, nutrients are better able to enter the cell, and waste is more easily eliminated from the cell. This helps to rebalance and restore optimum cell function. If you restore enough cells, they will all work more efficiently. Cells of the same type come together to make tissues, and those tissues come together to make organs. So, by restoring or maintaining cellular function, you will, in turn, restore or maintain organ function, allowing the entire body to function better. We all know that the body ages over time. Maintaining the function of every individual cell at an optimal level every day is an important part of slowing aging.

What to expect

You will either sit in a chair or lie down on a massage table and we will apply the PEMF’s by using different attachments on the machine to target the specific areas of concern. You will remain fully clothed, but will need to remove jewelry, eyeglasses, metal belt buckles, watches, coins from pockets, etc. You can expect to feel different sensations in the body while the magnetic field is being applied. Most people find it quite relaxing.

Who should not use PEMF’s

If you have any electrical implanted devices such as a pacemaker or cochlear implant, etc., organ transplants, pregnancy, or breast feeding, you should not use PEMF therapy.
