PEMF Therapy
PEMF therapy (“pulsed electromagnetic field” therapy) is a non-invasive therapy that uses calibrated magnetic pulses to stimulate the body’s tissues at a cellular level. As these pulses pass through skin, muscle, and bone, they induce small electrical currents that can interact with processes such as ion exchange, calcium signaling, and cellular energy production. PEMF was originally developed to support bone fracture healing and has since been studied for pain management, inflammation, and tissue repair.
- Potential benefits include:
- Support for joint comfort and mobility
- Soft tissue recovery
- Circulation
- Reduced localized inflammation
- Relaxation and sleep
PEMF can also complement other therapies, such as regenerative injections, IV therapy, and hormone optimization. It is not appropriate for everyone, however. Patients with implanted electronic devices such as pacemakers, as well as those who are pregnant, should not begin PEMF without clinical clearance.
