What is PEMF Therapy Used For

Peripheral neuropathy, a result of damage to your peripheral nerves, often causes weakness, numbness and pain, usually in your hands and feet. It can also affect other areas of your body.

Your peripheral nervous system sends information from your brain and spinal cord (central nervous system) to the rest of your body. Peripheral neuropathy can result from traumatic injuries, infections, metabolic problems, inherited causes and exposure to toxins. One of the most common causes is diabetes mellitus.

People with peripheral neuropathy generally describe the pain as stabbing, burning or tingling. In many cases, symptoms improve, especially if caused by a treatable condition. Medications can reduce the pain of peripheral neuropathy.

PEMF therapy can stimulate the repair and regeneration of peripheral nerves. 

PEMF therapy can promote ATP production and improve circulation.

PEMF therapy can increase the supply of oxygen and nutrients through the vascular system.

PEMF therapy can improve the removal of waste metabolites through the lymphatic system.

PEMF therapy can reduce inflammation and promote the self-healing of peripheral nerves.

When you have diabetes, a number of factors can affect your body’s ability to heal wounds. Diabetic wound is the most common chronic wound. Due to the narrowed blood vessels, diabetic wound healing is impaired because less oxygen can reach the wound and the tissues do not heal as quickly. Further the high blood sugar destroys nerves, so patients are less sensitive to pain. With this loss of sensation, patients do not feel developing blisters, infections, or existing wound changes.

Therefore, wound healing is complicated not only by the fact that patients do not feel wounds as they occur, but they also have no pain to alert them that a wound is getting worse.

PEMF therapy is a non-invasive technique used in wound healing by introducing micro currents of electromagnetic fields to the targeted tissues. PEMF therapy can enhance collagen synthesis, angiogenesis, and bacteriostasis consequently fostering wound healing.

PEMF therapy promotes microcirculation of chronic diabetic foot ulcers.Circulation is vital for the wound healing process. The circulation in an area is vital for removing dead tissue, for removing the debris from the wound and for removing the toxins from the area. Circulation is also vital for providing nutrients to the wound area. An increased nutrient to the area means the body has the building blocks to repair damaged tissue and to build new cells. By improving circulation, you are therefore supporting the entire wound healing process

Diabetic neuropathy is nerve damage that is caused by diabetes. It results in damage to the nervous system. It is a progressive disease, and symptoms get worse over time.

Neuropathy happens when high levels of fats or sugar in the blood damage the nerves in the body. It can affect virtually any nerve in the body, with a wide range of symptoms.ranging from pain and numbness in your feet to problems with the functions of your internal organs, such as your heart and bladder.

Four main types of neuropathy can impact on the nervous system, including:

• Peripheral symmetric neuropathy: This affects the feet and hands. It is the most common form of diabetic neuropathy.

• Autonomic neuropathy: This occurs in the nerves that control involuntary functions of the body, such as digestion, urination, or heart rate.

• Thoracic and lumbar root, or proximal, neuropathy: This damages nerves along a specific distribution in the body, such as the chest wall or legs.

• Mono neuropathies: These can affect any individual nerve.

Typically the neuropathy sufferer will benefit somewhat with medical intervention but the effects seem to diminish as the condition worsens. 

PEMF is a non-surgical, drug free technology that uses the power of electromagnets to stimulate cell regeneration, increase blood flow, and transport calcium to bones and cartilage. As a result, it reduces inflammation, alleviates burning and tingling, and reduces pain.

PEMF therapy works on the source of the pain and stimulates natural repair processes to heal damaged tissues by activating energy at the cellular level. It helps to calm the nerves and aids in recovery from injury and inflammation.

PEMF therapy can help to restore correct polarization to neurons, helping them to function properly.

The PEMF stimulation promotes blood flow to your damaged nerves, which can accelerate nerve repair and improve your symptoms. It can also lower inflammation, which may be causing nerve impingement.

Dystonia is a very complex, highly variable neurological movement disorder characterized by involuntary muscle contractions. It’s cause is not known. Researchers believe that dystonia results from an abnormality in or damage to the basal ganglia or other brain regions that control movement. There may be abnormalities in the brain’s ability to process a group of chemicals called neurotransmitters that help cells in the brain communicate with each other. 

Patients with dystonia may experience uncontrollable twisting, repetitive movements or abnormal postures and positions. These can affect any part of the body, including the arms, legs, trunk, face and vocal cords.

Dystonia’s may affect

·  One part of the body (focal dystonia’s)

·  Two or more parts of the body that are next to each other (segmental dystonia’s)

·   Two or more parts that are not next to each other (multifocal dystonia’s)

·  The trunk plus two different body parts (generalized dystonia’s)

Blepharospasm:

This dystonia affects mainly the eyelids. The eyelids are repeatedly and involuntarily forced shut. Occasionally, only one eye is affected at first, but ultimately, the other eye is also affected. It usually begins as excessive blinking, eye irritation, or extreme sensitivity to bright light. Many people with blepharospasm find ways to keep their eyes open, such as yawning, singing, or opening the mouth wide. These techniques become less effective as the disorder progresses. Blepharospasm can severely impair vision if the eyes cannot be kept open as needed.

PEMF exerts therapeutic effects on the nervous system, but its specific mechanism associated with excitotoxicity is still unknown. It is a non-invasive tool for the electrical stimulation of neural tissue, including cerebral cortex, spinal roots, and cranial and peripheral nerves.

This might provide novel insights into the pathophysiology of the neural circuitry underlying neurological and psychiatric disorders.

Numerous studies show that there is hope for those using PEMFS for psychiatric and neurological conditions.

Tennis elbow, also known as lateral epicondylitis, is a condition in which the outer part of the elbow becomes painful and tender. Golfer's elbow is a similar condition that affects the inside of the elbow. 

It develops where tendons in the forearm muscle connect to the bony part on the inside of the elbow. Tendons attach muscles to bones. Due to injury or irritation, they can become swollen and painful.The pain may also extend into the back of the forearm and grip strength may be weak. Onset of symptoms is generally gradual.  

The scientific evidence suggests that PEMF may induce a localized analgesic effect by modulating factors involved with pain signaling and the inflammatory mediatory response. Clinical studies report that PEMF is an effective therapy for pain relief as an adjuvant in different musculoskeletal conditions. It has various biologic effects on soft tissues. PEMF is used in patients with bone fractures and many musculoskeletal disorders such as osteoarthritis, spondylitis, and rotator cuff tendonitis. Many studies have investigated and reported the benefits of PEMF.

Experimental studies on the biological effects of PEMF encourage the use of this modality for treating tennis elbow. The degeneration in the common wrist extensor tendons that attach to the lateral epicondyle and microtrauma in collagen fibers due to misuse, overuse, and repetitive use are responsible for the occurrence of lateral epicondylitis. No thermal effect can be observed in low frequency PEMF applications. 

Effectiveness is indicated by changing the cell membrane potentials and ion transport. This leads to an anti inflammatory effect because the edema is inhibited and microcirculation is enhanced. Furthermore, some in vitro cellular studies have shown that low frequency PEMF can stimulate collagen synthesis, production, and maintain tendon alignment through the induction of collagen producing cells and growth factor synthesis, such as transforming growth factors β.It seems logical that PEMF can decrease edema and induce the healing of collagen fibers in tennis elbow.

Epilepsy is a broad term used for a brain disorder that causes unprovoked, recurrent seizures. They are episodes of uncontrolled and abnormal firing of brain cells that may cause changes in attention or behavior.There are two main types of seizures. Generalized seizures affect the whole brain. Focal, or partial seizures, affect just one part of the brain.

Epilepsy is one of the oldest and by far the most popular neurological diseases. It affects all age groups – from infants to seniors. Though epilepsy can be hereditary, it doesn’t mean that you are safe if it doesn’t run in your family. Epilepsy can develop as a result of head trauma, stroke or brain tumor.

Epileptic seizures are caused by excessive electrical discharges inside the brain cells. The electric activity inside the body is determined by adenosine triphosphate (ATP) found in its every cell. It is when brain cells release ATP that the episode happens. ATP is then broken down to adenosine which in turn inhibits the electric activity and stops the seizure. Therefore, the amount of ATP affects the likelihood of recurring episodes. And that is where a natural treatment for epilepsy – PEMF therapy – comes in!

Humans are constantly influenced by the electromagnetic fields of the Earth, and scientists have noticed a correlation between the dissipating electromagnetic fields and the number of epileptic patients which is still rapidly growing. PEMF therapy uses low-frequency pulses that gently stimulate the brain to produce more ATP. 

Seizures have many causes, so results may be unpredictable depending on the cause. Give PEMF therapy a try! It doesn’t mean that you need to stop taking your usual medication. PEMF doesn’t interfere with drugs which makes it a great holistic remedy to add to your treatment plan. It is no epilepsy cure, but it can definitely improve your condition by decreasing the number of episodes as well as their severity

NOTE: PEMF may not be suitable for some electrically sensitive epileptic patients 

Erectile dysfunction (ED), also known as impotence, is a type of sexual dysfunction characterized by the inability to develop or maintain an erection of the penis during sexual activity. ED can have psychological consequences causingembarrassingstress, relationship strain and low self-confidence.

PEMF therapy can be highly beneficial to Improve pelvic blood flowdue to its vasodilatory effect. Polarisation of blood cells during their passage through the magnetic field of the applicator modifies the muscle tone of blood vessels, arteries and capillaries, resulting in their dilation and an improved supply of oxygenated blood and nutrients to the tissues.

Furthermore, low-frequency pulsed magnetic therapy activates the parasympathetic nervous system and promotes the efflux of Ca2+ ions, which leads to relaxation of the blood vessel muscles (especially precapillary sphincters) and subsequent vasodilation. All this contributes to harmonisation of the heartbeat, circulation and blood pressure, and, of course, to an improvement in erectile dysfunction and impotency.

Bell's palsy is a form of temporary facial paralysis resulting from damage or trauma to the facial nerves. The facial nerve-also called the 7th cranial.It usually affects only one side of the face at a time.

Symptoms of Bell's palsy can vary from person to person and range in severity from mild weakness to total paralysis.  These symptoms may include twitching, weakness, or paralysis on one or rarely both sides of the face.  Other symptoms may include drooping of the eyelid and corner of the mouth, drooling, dryness of the eye or mouth, impairment of taste, and excessive tearing in one eye. 

The PEMF technique is potentially useful as it makes possible to stimulate the intracranial part of the facial nerve from the cortex to the periphery and can effectively evoke responses reflecting the brainstem function. It passively induces ‘fluid flow’, creates ‘streaming potentials’, to trigger biochemical coupling, signal transduction and elicitation of the repair and regenerative processes.

Magnetic stimulation non-invasively activates vasoregulatory components of the facial nerve, and also promotes increased cerebral blood flow bilaterally in the forebrain.

Pulsed electromagnetic fields as noninvasive, painless and non-pharmacological treatment may be applicable in the cases when conventional medicine is non-effective or contraindicated and no other modalities for the treatment.

Fibromyalgia is chronic condition that causes pain all over the body and a host of symptoms of sleep problems, fatigue, emotional and mental distress. People with fibromyalgia may be more sensitive to pain than people without fibromyalgia. This is called abnormal pain perception processing.

The exact cause of fibromyalgia is unknown. Researchers think that below factors might contribute to its cause:

•  Stressful or traumatic events, such as car accidents

•  Repetitive injuries

•  Illnesses such as viral infections

Traditional treatment of fibromyalgia is limited to treating the symptoms with prescription medication, behavioral intervention and exercise.

PEMF therapy has been studied and found to be beneficial treatment for fibromyalgia. It is easy to apply and is a non-invasive, side-effect free treatment. It is an ideal adjunct treatment as it addresses the issue and its symptoms quite effectively.

The top benefits of using PEMF therapy are pain relief, better sleep, more energy, better oxygenation and circulation, nerve and tissue regeneration, relaxation and stress reduction and improved immunity.

•  The body handles pain by producing endorphins in the central nervous system and the pituitary gland. Endorphins block the transmission of pain signals to the brain. PEMF stimulates the production of natural endorphins and therefore is very effective in dealing with pain, especially chronic pain It improves blood flow.

•  Fibromyalgia patients have bad blood circulation and suffer from fatigue. Low-frequency PEMF therapy has proven to increase blood flow and oxygen level in tissues which results in pain relief.

•  It improves the work of the lymphatic system. Blood vessels deliver oxygen to cells and tissues as well as remove wastes. When tissue does not receive enough oxygen, it dies. PEMF therapy stimulates blood vessels to carry plenty of oxygen to the tissues and cells which results in better functioning of the circulatory system that reduces pain and swelling.

•  PEMF improves the sleep quality by stimulating the pineal gland to produce Melatonin which is the most important hormone for sleep, anti-aging, and is also a powerful antioxidant.Owing to a good rest at night, you won’t experience fatigue that prevents you from being productive. 

Bones are living materials, with blood vessels and nerves running through them. A broken bone is called a fracture. In order for a fracture to heal, the bones must be held in the correct position and protected. Soon after a fracture occurs, the body acts to protect the injured area, and forms a protective blood clot and callus around the fracture. 

PEMF can be used to stimulate bone repair, the same way piezo-electrical forces do. They help the bone factory release the necessary minerals for osteogenesis or the bone creation. The process of fracture healing recapitulates bone development and can be considered a form of tissue regeneration

PEMF therapy has been used for several years to supplement bone healing at the cellular and molecular levels. It has also been advocated to promote the synthesis of extracellular matrix proteins and exert a direct effect on the production of proteins that regulate gene transcription.

Any fracture may be prone to infection in the injury area, causing non-unions. PEMF combats these infections by boosting the immune system through stimulating the lymphatic system, increasing oxygenation, and detoxifying.

Pre-clinical studies have shown that the site of interaction of biophysical stimuli is the cell membrane. Its effect on bone tissue is to increase proliferation, synthesis and release of growth factors. On articular cells, it creates a strong A_2A and A₃ adenosine-agonist effect inducing an anti-inflammatory and chondroprotective result. In treated animals, it has been shown that the mineralisation rate of newly formed bone is almost doubled, the progression of the osteoarthritic cartilage degeneration is inhibited and quality of cartilage is preserved.

The non-union of the bones is mainly due to poor blood supply during the healing process. Thermally assisted PEMF therapy improves blood circulation and dilates blood vessels. This helps by delivering nutrients, repairing molecules, stimulating growth factors, increasing oxygen, eliminating waste, and many other actions.

Biophysical stimulation has been used in the clinical setting to promote the healing of fractures and non-unions. It has been successfully used on joint pathologies for its beneficial effect on improving function in early OA and after knee surgery to limit the inflammation of periarticular tissues.

The body handles pain by producing endorphins in the central nervous system and the pituitary gland. Endorphins block the transmission of pain signals to the brain. PEMF stimulates the production of natural endorphins and therefore is very effective in dealing with pain, especially the fracture trauma pain.

PEMF treatment is recommended as an adjunct to standard fracture management. Indications for use include non-unions, failed fusions, and congenital pseudarthrosis.

Guillain-Barré syndrome (GBS) is a rare and serious neurological disorder in which the body's immune system mistakenly attacks healthy nerve cells in the peripheral nervous system.It can cause muscle weakness, reflex loss, and numbness or tingling in parts of your body. It may lead to paralysis, which is usually temporary.

Body’s nerves are like household electrical wires, connecting your brain to the rest of your body and transmit signals to your muscles.The muscles won’t be able to respond to signals they receive from your brain if these nerves are damaged.

There is a central conducting core in the nerves called the axon that carries an electric signal. The axon (an extension of a nerve cell) is surrounded by a covering, like insulation, called myelin. This myelin sheath surrounding the axon speeds up the transmission of nerve signals and allows the transmission of signals over long distances.In most cases of GBS, the immune system damages the myelin sheath and the axons. 

There's no cure for Guillain-Barré syndrome. But PEMF is a non-surgical, drug free technology that uses the power of electromagnets to stimulate cell regeneration, increase blood flow, and transport calcium to bones and cartilage. As a result, it reduces inflammation, alleviates burning and tingling, and reduces pain.

PEMF therapy works on the source of the pain and stimulates natural repair processes to heal damaged tissues by activating energy at the cellular level. It helps to calm the nerves and aids in recovery from injury and inflammation.

PEMF therapy can help to restore correct polarization to neurons, helping them to function properly.The PEMF stimulationpromotes blood flow to your damaged nerves, which can accelerate nerve repair and improve your symptoms.It can also lower inflammation, which may be causing nerve impingement.

Headache is one of the most common and debilitating pain conditions in the world. It is pain or discomfort in the head, scalp, or neck. It is classified in two main categories primary and secondary headaches.

Primary headaches, arising due stress or emotional distress, or it can result from a medical disorder, such as migraine or high blood pressure, anxiety, or depression.

Secondary headaches, or those that result from another medical or neurological condition, include sinus headaches, medication overuse headaches, or headaches that occur because of an infection, disease of the blood vessels in the brain, head injury, trauma, or more serious condition such as a tumor.

Headache pain results from signals interacting among the brain, blood vessels, and surrounding nerves. During a headache, specific nerves of the blood vessels are activated and send pain signals to the brain. 

PEMF therapy can help you minimize the pain from a headache or eliminate it altogether. However, not all headaches start or end the same way.There is a fair amount of research on PEMF therapy and how it can reduce headache pain, as well as how it can be used to reduce the frequency of headaches.

Studies show that PEMF therapy could benefit migraine patients in several ways:

Migraine pain is associated with uneven distribution of blood flow in the brain. PEMF therapy improves blood circulation and dilates blood vessels in the brain.This helps by delivering nutrients, repairing molecules, stimulating growth factors, increasing oxygen, eliminating waste, and many other actions. 

Migraine pain results from inflammation inside the cranium. PEMF therapy can reduce inflammation by targeting cells and stimulating nerves directly and lowering this neurogenic inflammation.

PEMF Therapy helps with stress headaches in three basic ways. One is to reduce the brain’s reaction to stress. The second is to help the body to eliminate the neurotransmitters and hormones produced by stressful fight-flight reactions. The third is to defend the cells and tissues of the body from the physical changes induced by stress chemicals and hormones.

Good sleep is necessary for optimal health and can affect hormone levels, mood and weight.Sleep disorders are a group of conditions that disturb the regular sleep pattern and affect the ability to sleep well.

The most important sleep disorders are:

• Insomnia
• Sleep apnea
  
• Restless legs syndrome
• Narcolepsy

Researches show that anxiety and sleeping disorders are well connected. Stress leads to unhealthy melatonin sleep and then results in restless sleep. The sleep clock then will go so far behind, which is impossible to recover.

Circadian rhythm disorders are also related to sleep disorders. People typically sleep at night, which are driven by circadian rhythm – an internal “clock”. This clock is a small part of the brain that controls your sleepiness and alertness. Abnormalities associated with this clock are called circadian rhythm disorders. It can cause jet lag, adjustments to shift work, delayed sleep phase syndrome and advanced sleep phase syndrome.

Prescription medicine and drugs tend to provide relief from sleep disorders, which results in some problems such as addiction, withdrawal symptoms and many other side-effects.

PEMF is a non-surgical, drug free technology that uses the power of electromagnets tostimulation at cellular & molecular levels. Brain being a dynamic and bioelectric organ is sensitive to PEMFs.

PEMF therapy improves sleeping disorders using the process of Brainwave entrainment. When presented with an external resonating stimulus around the brain, resonant molecules or electrical activity start to react to the stimulation frequency by establishing a pattern of mutual resonance. This is called frequency following or entrainment.

Studies of brainwave electrical activity have found 2 different stages of sleep, rapid eye movement (REM) and non-rapid eye movement (NREM). NREM sleep accounts for almost 80% of total sleep time in the adult. The early phase of NREM sleep is the deepest sleep period, which usually occurs in early night. And the brainwave patterns during this time are in lower frequencies. PEMF therapy can keep the brain in this optimal state.

The Pineal gland releases a large amount of the hormone “melatonin” in darkness, which also enhances the sleep quality. Researches have shown that PEMF therapy can stimulate an increase in melatonin production.

PEMF therapy also has positive effects on calming the brain and regulating circadian rhythms. And studies show that circadian rhythms have an important role in controlling sleep patterns and cycles.

Hypertension is is another name for high blood pressure (tension) in the arteries, which are the vessels that carry blood from the heart to the rest of the body.

Blood pressure is the force that a person’s blood exerts against the walls of their blood vessels. This pressure depends on the resistance of the blood vessels and how hard the heart has to work.Narrow arteries increase resistance. The narrower your arteries are, the higher your blood pressure will be

Normal blood pressure is below 120/80.While theBlood pressure between 120/80 and 129/80 is an elevated blood pressure, and a blood pressure of 130/80 or above is considered high.

Uncontrolled high blood pressure can lead to severe health complications and increase the risk of heart disease, stroke, and sometimes death.

Treatment for hypertension includes both prescription medication and healthy lifestyle changes.

PEMF therapy has been proven to benefit a large number of cellular and biological processes in the body. It can also improve many functions of the cardiovascular, endocrine and autonomous nervous systems.

Poor circulation is the root cause of high blood pressure.PEMF therapy has been proven to improve circulation. It can help to also moderate the circulatory system and dilate the blood vessels.

PEMF increase nitric oxide(NO)production,which induces vasodilation, enhances microvascular perfusion and tissue oxygenation.The inner lining of the blood vessel uses nitric oxide to signal the proximal smooth muscles in the blood vessel wall to relax, and make blood vessels widen. The subsequent increase in blood flow leads to a decrease in both blood pressure and heart rate.

Inflammation is a defense mechanism in the body. It is a complex biological response of body tissues to protect the body from infection, injury, or disease.

During an injury or sickness, white blood cells release inflammatory chemicals into the blood and affected tissues to protect the body from foreign invaders, such as bacteria and viruses. The chemical release increases blood flow to the affected areas causing redness and warm. Some chemicals may leak into tissue and cause swelling. This protective process may also stimulate nerve endings and cause pain. 

Acute inflammation is usually caused by trauma, harmful substances, or microbial invasion of the bacteria and viruses.

Chronic inflammation may be associated with chronic conditions of diabetes, cancer, heart disease, stroke, respiratory disease, arthritis, inflammatory bowel disease, and Alzheimer’s.  PEMF treatment is known to reduce chronic inflammation and ease pain.

PEMF triggers a metabolic reaction that reduces inflammation. It modulates inflammatory processes through the regulation of pro and anti-inflammatory cytokine secretion during different stages of inflammatory response.

PEMF therapy has been shown to accelerate healing by eliminating the inflammation prolonging T cells these cells.PEMFs also inhibit growth and the natural death of unwanted lymphocytes that decreases inflammation

It can be especially useful in the case of chronic inflammatory diseases such as:

• Rheumatoid arthritis
• Psoriasis
• Tendinitis

.

Knee pain is a common complaint affecting people of all ages. It can be caused by a sudden injury, an overuse injury, or by a specific underlying medical condition.

It can be divided into three major categories:

• Acute injury: such as a fractures, torn ligament, or meniscal tear
• Medical conditions: rheumatoid arthritis, osteoarthritis, infections
• Chronic use/overuse conditions: osteoarthritis, chondromalacia, IT band syndrome, patellar syndromes, tendinitis, and bursitis

Treatment will vary depending on the cause. Symptoms of knee injury can include pain, swelling, and stiffness. It may involve prescription or over-the-counter medications, physical therapy, acupuncture, and surgery.

Patients with chronic knee pain often rely on analgesics for pain relief. Long-term use of such treatments may have several side effects. Researches prove that PEMF might provide a safe and effective alternative to pharmacologic treatment.

PEMF therapy can be helpful in several symptoms of the knee pain, including the pain , stiffness, inflammation, edema, and degenerations. It can stimulate healing of damaged cells and tissues to relieve injury-related pain via sending pulsed energy into the knee area. It can promote bone and connective tissue regeneration in the degenerative conditions of rheumatoid arthritis

Chronic knee pain can cause the malfunction of the mitochondria in the tissue cells, resulting in metabolic syndrome, while Metabolic Syndrome is what causes Arthritis. Mitochondria, as the battery packs of your cells, are vital to your health. PEMF therapy can charge up your mitochondria directly and then return them to normal condition.

When you have serious inflammation in your joints and left it untreated, the enzymes that stem from inflammation can damage the tissues further. PEMF therapy can reduce the inflammation in the joints, tendons and ligaments, and keep a healthy level of synovial fluid, so your joints can move freely and without restriction.

Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) or the Lupus is a chronic multisystem inflammatory disease caused when the immune system mistakenly attacks its own tissues. The cause of Lupus is unknown. It is believed to be caused by either genetic issues or by environmental conditions.

It causes inflammation inthe cartilage, the lining of blood vessels, and other connective tissues of the body. It can affect multiple organs including the joints, skin, kidneys, blood cells, brain, heart and lungs.It is characterised with the symptoms including fatigue, joint pain, rash and fever.

There's no cure for lupus. The current available treatment options focus on improving quality of life by addressing symptoms and minimising flare-ups. It includes the lifestyle changes of sun protection, diet, anti-inflammatory medications and steroids.

PEMF therapy can be beneficial in several symptoms due to its anti-inflammatory, analgesic effects, its positive action on microcirculation, and Immunomodulation. The improved blood flow brings more oxygen to all the cells of the body promoting better health. PEMF stimulates the mitochondria being body’s power house to function efficiently and deliver more energy.

Osteoporosis is a health condition involving body’s entire skeletal system in which the density and quality of bone is affected. It is characterized by porous bones due to reduced low bone mass and micro architectural deterioration of the bone tissue resulting in fragile bones with a high risk of fractures.

The stage before osteoporosis is called osteopenia. 

Osteoporosis is a major and growing health problem worldwide. In this condition bones become thin, weak and fragile. Activities as twisting and bending, minor bump, minor fall or accident can cause a fracture and a broken bone

PEMF therapy is a natural and non-invasive method to help with osteoporosis. It can stimulate the regeneration of bone tissue and slow the decrease of bone density. On the other hand, PEMF therapy can promote metabolism and slow down the loss of bone mineral substance.

The improvements in osteoporosis due to PEMF therapy can be explained by a number of mechanisms. There are two main types of cells that affect bone density. Osteoclasts can resorb or take away old and worn-out bone, while osteoblasts can build new bone.

PEMF therapy stimulates osteogenesis by simultaneously increasing osteoblastic activity and decreasing osteoclast formation, thereby shifting the metabolic process towards bone osteogenesis. PEMF therapy also enhances fibrocartilage turn-over to bone cells and increasing ionic calcium channels. In addition, PEMF therapy increases blood supply at the site of application, which is considered to improve bone healing.

Furthermore, PEMF therapy has an inhibitory effect on the resorption phase of wound healing that leads to early callus formation. PEMF therapy can save many elderly people from undergoing surgery. Therefore, it is being suggested that PEMF therapy be the first line of treatment for osteoporosis.

Muscular dystrophy is a group of progressive genetic Neuromuscular diseases that involves loss of muscle mass and consequent loss of strength.This damage and weakness of the muscles is due to the lack of a protein called dystrophin, which is necessary for normal muscle function. The absence of this protein can cause problems with walking, swallowing, and muscle coordination.

There are more than 30 different types of muscular dystrophy, which vary in symptoms and severity.

There is currently no known cure to prevent or reverse this condition, but certain physical and medical treatments can improve a person’s quality of life and delay the progression of symptoms.

PEMF therapy can help in below 

1. PEMFs stimulate cells and motor neurons.
2. When motor neurons are stimulated they release neurotransmitters.
3. Neurotransmitters send signals to muscle fibers.
4. When the signal hits the muscle fibers movement occurs.

Further PEMF therapy also allows for optimal blood flow, detoxification, neuronal regeneration, bone growth, cartilage regrowth, pain management, enhanced immunity, restorative sleep, reduction of stress, treatment for depression and anxiety. 

Multiple sclerosis means “scar tissue in multiple areas.”. It is a chronic, complex, and often disabling disease of the central nervous system. In the case of MS, the immune system attacks the myelin sheath that surrounds and protects the nerve fibers, causing inflammation.

Body’s nerves are like household electrical wires, connecting your brain to the rest of your body and transmit signals to your muscles. The muscles won’t be able to respond to signals they receive from your brain if these nerves are damaged.

There is a central conducting core in the nerves called the axon that carries an electric signal. The axon (an extension of a nerve cell) is surrounded by a covering, like insulation, called myelin. This myelin sheath surrounding the axon speeds up the transmission of nerve signals and allows the transmission of signals over long distances. In most cases of MS, the immune system damages the myelin sheath and the axons. 

The cause of MS is still unknown. Scientists believe that a combination of environmental and genetic factors contribute to the risk of developing MS. 

The symptoms of MS vary widely from person to person and can affect any part of the body. The main symptoms include:

·         fatigue

·         difficulty walking

·         vision problems, such as blurred vision

·         problems controlling the bladder

·         numbness or tingling in different parts of the body

·         muscle stiffness and spasms

·         problems with balance and co-ordination

·         problems with thinking, learning and planning

There's currently no cure for MS, But PEMF is a non-surgical, drug free technology that can alleviate many of the major symptoms of MS, including muscle stiffness, fatigue, pain, sleep, cognitive function, mood changes and other impaired physiologic functions.

Fatigue is the most common symptom of multiple sclerosis. Most of patients with multiple sclerosis report having fatigue. PEMF can increase oxygenation, nutrient uptake, and ATP production it can increase the energy levels and reduce fatigue

Sleep disturbances can also be a major factor for fatigue and depression, caused by chronic pain, and medications. PEMF can help with addressing these symptoms for a better sleep

PEMF therapy works on basic cellular and physiologic levels. It can help to restore correct polarization to neurons, helping them to function properly. The PEMF stimulation promotes blood flow to your damaged nerves, which can accelerate nerve repair and lower the inflammation.

Ilioinguinal neuropathy is a rare but disabling condition. The condition may arise spontaneously or in the setting of pelvic surgery.

To date, most therapeutic options have been limited to neuropathic pain medications, anti-inflammatory medications, nerve blocks with local anesthetics, or neurectomy. Long-term results of non-surgical interventions are fair at best. Pulsed radiofrequency lesioning may be a good treatment for chronic ilioinguinal neuropathy in cases refractory to conservative management. – Journal of Hernias and Abdominal Wall Surgery PMID: 17273814

PEMF therapy can stimulate the repair and regeneration of peripheral nerves.

PEMF therapy can promote ATP production and improve circulation.

PEMF therapy can increase the supply of oxygen and nutrients through the vascular system.

PEMF therapy can improve the removal of waste metabolites through the lymphatic system.

PEMF therapy can reduce inflammation and promote the self-healing of peripheral nerves.

Osteonecrosis, also known as avascular necrosis (AVN), aseptic necrosis or ischemic bone necrosis, is a painful condition arising due to the death of bone tissue because of the loss of blood supply.

It is mostly found in the hip and shoulder, but can affect other large joints such as the knee, elbow, wrist and ankle. It may be caused by long-term use of steroid medicines, alcohol abuse, joint injuries, and certain diseases, such as cancer and arthritis. It may also occur at some point in time after cancer treatments.

As osteonecrosis progresses, more and more tiny fractures occur in the weight supporting bones of the body, such as the hip. Gradually the bone usually collapses few weeks or months later after the blood supply is cut off. Most often pain develops gradually when the bone begins to collapse

PEMF Therapy can be a very effective drugless & surgery free approach for early stage osteonecrosis. The electromagnetic waves of PEMF can penetrate deep into the bones of affected area completely and redevelop blood supply and oxygenation to the affected bones, thus resulting in impressive increase in bone density

PEMF Stimulates Osteogenesis of Bone Marrow Mesenchymal Stem Cells and Bone Repair. It promotes the increased callus formation around the necrotic bone and also increased new vessel formation. The links below show you some of the clinical studies done on the same.

This pilot study found that the use of pulsed electromagnetic fields produced beneficial effects in patients suffering from osteonecrosis of the femoral head.( N.S. Eftekhar, Osteonecrosis of the Femoral Head Treated Pulsed Electromagnetic Fields (PEMFs): A Preliminary Report, 1983, p. 306-330.)

This study examined the use of pulsed electromagnetic fields in the treatment of osteonecrosis. Compared to published findings concerning surgical treatment, results showed PEMF therapy to be superior in producing improvement.(M. Hinsenkamp, Preliminary Results in Electromagnetic Field Treatment of Osteonecrosis, Bioelectrochem Bioenerg.30, 1993, p. 229-236)

Parkinson's disease (PD) is a progressive neurodegenerative disorder of the central nervous system that affects the dopamine producing nerve cells in the brain. Itleads to hand tremors, stiffness, and difficulty with walking, balance, and coordination.Symptoms may also include apathy, depression, constipation, sleep behavior disorders, loss of sense of smell and cognitive impairment.

The exact cause of Parkinson's disease remains unknown. It may have both genetic and environmental components.Treatments can help relieve symptoms, but there is no cure for it.

PEMF can also help Improvements in several symptoms associated with Parkinson's disease and depression. It also can stimulate Improved dopamine production, enhanced circulation and oxygen utilization

PEMF induce a protective and anti-inflammatory effect primarily due to up-regulation of growth factors thus helping to slowdown the neurodegeneration.

PEMF stimulates cortical neurons and causes brain cells to return to normal functioning frequencies. Neurons are electrically excitable cells that process and transmit information through electrical and chemical signals. Neurons connect to each other to form neural networks. Sensory neurons, respond to touch, sound, light and all other stimuli affecting the cells of the sensory organs send signals to the spinal cord and brain.

A common cause of shoulder pain is soreness of the tendon (a cord that attaches a muscle to a bone) of the rotator cuff. This is the part of the shoulder that helps circular motion. Another common cause is soreness of the subacromial bursa (a sac of fluid under the highest part of the shoulder).

Pain can develop due to arthritis, inflammation, trauma, tears, dislocations, and fractures. Below are the main shoulder pain conditions

Rotator cuff tendonitis and bursitis: Rotator cuff tendonitis happens when the tendons in the rotator cuff (the group of muscles and tendons that surround the shoulder joint) become irritated or damaged.

Rotator cuff tears: The same overuse that leads to tendonitis can lead to rotator cuff tears. Eventually the chronic inflammation and degeneration can cause the tendon to wear down and tear.

Arthritis: Patients can experience intense shoulder pain as a result of arthritis as well,

Frozen shoulder: Also known as adhesive capsulitis, frozen shoulder happens when there’s inflammation in the lining of the capsule of the ball socket joint. The shoulder capsule thickens and tightens, which creates the discomfort.

Calcific tendonitis: It is a condition where calcium deposits (up to 1 to 2 centimeters in diameter) build up in the muscles or tendons.

Spinal issues: cervical spine and disc issues can be the root cause of shoulder pain.

Pain results from many different things, and PEMF for pain management helps address different causes of pain.It offers a safe, effective alternative to drugs for pain management.

PEMF therapy emits low frequency electromagnetic energy to stimulate the cells in the body. These electromagnetic pulses alternately engage and relax the cells to improve circulation, increase oxygen levels, and charge the cells. PEMF therapy triggers body’s natural healing processes, which in turn help pain blocking, decreased inflammation, increased cellular flexibility, increased blood and fluids circulation, increased tissue oxygenation and improved nutrient absorption of cells

This is a joint inflammation found in patients with psoriasis. It affects 5-10% of individuals living with psoriasis. It is similar to rheumatoid arthritis. In most cases joint inflammation begins before dermatological symptoms develop (psoriasis is a reddish skin rash that erupts periodically causing skin peeling, it may be treated with light therapy, and another important aspect is diet: alcohol and red meat should be avoided). Nails become thickened and blotchy, suggesting a fungal infection.

Psoriatic arthritis mostly affects the fingers and toes.

When affecting joints (psoriatic arthritis) is similar to rheumatoid arthritis, and the inflammatory changes lead to deformation and degeneration of joints.

PEMF therapy has an anti-inflammatory effect by causing differentiation of mesenchymal stromal cells/pericytes (MSCs) in synovial tissue, thus playing a vital role in tissue repair. It has also been reported to increase the functional activity of MSCs to improve differentiation to chondrocytes and osteocytes.

PEMF activate multiple intracellular pathways, including numerous processes and biochemical mechanisms within both the immune and microvascular systems. 

Psoriasis is a varied illness causing different types of skin problems: itching, peeling, pinpoint hemorrhages, and a scaly or inflamed skin surface. Mostly affects the hairy scalp, knee, elbow, and nails, but it may occur on any area of the body.

There is no cure for psoriasis or vaccine to prevent it. There are effective treatments for the symptoms of psoriasis such as topical ointments, orals, and biologics, but these options often have side effects with prolonged use.

PEMF therapy is fully complementary with existing allopathic medical treatments for chronic skin conditions such as Eczema or Psoriasis and does not carry the risks and side effects resulting from the prolonged use of chemical and biologic substances.

PEMF therapy is Widely accepted as an anti-inflammatory, immunity boosting therapy,it directly affects the cells responsible for the inflammation. Also, it helps in improving oxygen carrying capacity of cells in the body; thus mitochondria, the power houses of the cells are supercharged. This boosts the immunity of the body to an extent where toxins and allergens are fought off effectively.

Dilated, tortuous veins, mostly in the legs (but also including hemorrhoids). Swelling, pain and cramps in the foot and knee.A sensation of heavy legs after standing for long periods of time.A fraction of the blood flows backwards to the lower part of the leg due to valvular incompetency (valves of in the leg veins do not work properly, which can be due to heredity).The veins become dilated and tortuous due to the increased pressure. An inactive lifestyle (too much sitting and resting, too little physical activity), regularly lifting heavy objects, and pregnancy may also contribute to the development of varicose veins. Its incidence is higher among tall and overweight people. Circulation improves and congestion is cleared up in response to the magnetic field.

PEMF influence cell behavior by inducing electrical changes around and within the cell.  It improves blood supply by increasing micro-circulation, increasing the oxygen to the to the tissues and cells,and regenerating cells. It also improves peripheral circulation and oxygenation, causing better transport of nutrients and improving wound healing. Thus It provides fast pain relief and significantly lowers fatigue of the legs.

A venous skin ulcer is a sore on your leg that’s very slow to heal, usually because of weak blood circulation in the limb.

It can last anywhere from a few weeks to years causing Ulceration of the affected area.These wounds are slow to heal and recur frequently. Leg ulcers are not a distinct disease condition, but are most frequently caused by vascular disease: venous insufficiency (90% of cases), arteriosclerosis (6%), hypertension, heart failure; it may also be a co-morbidity of diabetes or a consequence of other diseases (such as renal failure or clotting disorders).

The healing power of PEMF therapy is based on the ability of magnetic fields to improve circulation. In response to venous insufficiency the skin and underlying connective tissues around the ankle shrink and become pale and dry, accompanied by peeling. Red blood cells released from blood vessels due to capillary damage cause dark red blotches on the surface of the skin. Necrotic tissue is replaced by granulation tissue, and the ulcer may reach the tibia.These wounds are not always painful, but chronic ulcers may lead to the need for amputation.

The sciatic nerve then branches into other nerves, which continue down your leg and into your foot and toes. “sciatica” is commonly used to describe any pain that originates in the lower back and radiates down the leg. Sciatica pain is caused by an irritation, inflammation, pinching or compression of the sciatic nerve, which originates in your buttock/gluteal area.

Causes include:

• Bulging Disc or Herniated Disc– when a soft cushion of tissue between the bones in your spine pushes out

• Spinal Stenosis – Nerve compression caused due to narrowing of the part of your spine where nerves pass through

• Spondylolisthesis – when one of the bones in your spine slips out of position

• Piriformis syndrome – It develops when muscle spasms develop in the piriformis muscle thereby compressing the sciatic nerve.

• Spinal tumor -Benign or cancerous (malignant) abnormal growths in the lumbar region causing the nerve compression. 

There are a several treatments available for sciatica, ranging from medication to reduce swelling and inhibit pain, exercise, steroid injections, chiropractic, massage, acupuncture and in severe cases surgery.

PEMF is a non-surgical, drug free technology that can help to address both the symptoms and the cause in relieving sciatica.

Pain Relief - PEMF electromagnetic waves stimulates the production of natural endorphins. Endorphins are chemicals produced by the body to relieve stress and pain. They work similarly to a class of drugs called opioids

Inflammation primarily causes pain because the swelling pushes against the sensitive nerve endings. PEMF therapy has an anti-inflammatory effect by causing differentiation of mesenchymal stromal cells/pericytes (MSCs) in synovial tissue, thus playing a vital role in tissue repair. It has also been reported to increase the functional activity of MSCs to improve differentiation to chondrocytes and osteocytes.

PEMF triggers a series of metabolic reaction that reduces inflammation. It modulates inflammatory processes through the regulation of pro and anti-inflammatory cytokine secretion during different stages of inflammatory response.

PEMF therapy has been shown to accelerate healing by eliminating the inflammation prolonging T cells these cells.PEMFs also inhibit growth and the natural death of unwanted lymphocytes that decreases inflammation

Nerve Repair - All sciatic problems involve nerve damage from one cause or another. PEMF has been demonstrated to help with nerve regeneration by creating small electrical currents to stimulate nerve regeneration.

All cells, including nerves require ATP production to function properly. PEMF stimulates ATP production at a cellular level in every single cell in the body, ensuring healing and empowering cells to do what they were designed for. Oxygenation is dramatically increased and healthy cell life is maintained, while damaged cells are quickly treated or replaced.

PEMF therapy has also been proved effective in reducing the associated symptoms of pain, fatigue, sleep disturbances, and depression.

Stroke is the third most frequent cause of mortality (cardiac disease and cancer are first and second, respectively). In order to minimize the degree of brain damage and compromise to quality of life, stroke requires immediate treatment. Stroke is an infarction of the brain tissue, meaning that cells in a certain cerebral region die due to inadequate blood supply. It may be caused by various gene mutations. Risk factors: high cholesterol levels, smoking, hypertension, genetic polymorphisms (variations in genes).

Stroke develops suddenly, therefore early diagnosis is very important! Symptoms: sudden, unilateral paralysis, weakness or numbness of the face, arm, or leg; aphasia (sudden difficulty remembering words or losing the ability to speak); blurred vision; confusion; memory impairment. Characteristics of subarachnoid hemorrhage (bleeding between the arachnoid membrane and the innermost layer of the membrane surrounding the brain) described below: vomiting; impaired consciousness; sudden strong pain in the head, neck, or face.

TIA – transient ischemic attack (transient circulatory impairment): may signal an oncoming stroke, their symptoms are identical, but the duration of TIA isshorter (a few minutes up to a maximum of 24 hours).TIA may be recurrent. Due to its fast course there is no cell death.

TYPES OF STROKES

Ischemic stroke: there is no bleeding. Represents 80% of stroke cases. Caused by a blood clot obstructing one of the arteries of the brain. Due to a lack of nutrients and oxygen, the brain cells supplied by the artery die.

Thrombotic stroke: caused by a locally developing blood clot (thrombus) – areas of greatest risk are those affected by arteriosclerosis (plaques).

Embolic stroke: caused by a blood clot originating from a different part of the body and transported via the blood circulation. It can include any type of tissue debris, such as blood clots developed in response toatrial fibrillation (arrhythmia).

Hemorrhagic stroke(bleeding in the brain): bleeding caused by the rupture of a blood vessel inside the brain.

Intracerebral hemorrhage: bleeding that occurs within the brain tissue itself.

Subarachnoid hemorrhage: bleeding due to the rupture of one of the arteries found in the membranes surrounding the brain, the re-leased blood gets into the cerebrospinal fluid.

PEMF therapy can help to stimulate the cells, neurons and tissues damaged in a stroke to recover faster, because PEMF therapy improves blood circulation, microcirculation​ and the cellular oxygenation​​ . It also helps to stimulate stem cells and the production of adenosine triphosphate (ATP), the fuel of the cell.

An enlarged prostate or the benign hyperplasia (BPH) is a nonmalignant age associated prostate gland enlargement in males. It occurs due to the cell’s multiplication of the prostate gland. These additional cells cause prostate gland to swell, which squeezes the urethra and limits the flow of urine.

Symptoms include frequent urge to urinate, getting up at night to urinate, difficulty in urinating, and dribbling of urine at the end of urination. 

Medications may slightly reduce prostate size and improve symptoms but have less benefit as the prostate gets larger.

Recently there have been two therapeutic studies that lend support to the use of PEMFs to noninvasively, and safely, reduce the size of the prostate. One of these is a studies is in humans, the other in dogs.

Arthralgia is pain in one or more of your joints. The pain may be described as sharp, dull, stabbing, burning or throbbing, and may range in intensity from mild to severe. There are many different causes of arthralgia, including injury, illness, infection, arthritis, and other ailments. 

Treatment of arthralgia depends on the specific cause of the pain. The use of drugs, both prescription and over-the-counter, is one of the most common ways that people relieve joint pain. The drugs used to joint pain often come with risks and unwanted side effects, so people look for alternatives to treat joint pain naturally.

PEMF therapy for pain relief is a powerful tool. It is a safe and effective option can also help treat joint pain naturally. It seems to be able to relieve the pain intensity and improve functionality in individuals with pain conditions.

A person’s body has natural electric fields or molecules that contain magnetic energy. It is found in ions, such as potassium or calcium, that help the cells send signals in the body. The pulsed energy waves in a PEMF therapy device stimulate these cells and trigger a healing effect. 

PEMF waves penetrate all cells, increases ion exchange, normalizes circulation and increases oxygen utilization of the cell. The waves move through the cells in those damaged regions and stimulate and encourage healing.

Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is a psychiatric disorder condition that's triggered by experiencing or witnessing a terrifying event. Symptoms may include flashbacks, nightmares and severe anxiety, as well as uncontrollable thoughts about the event.

PEMF therapy has been proven to help treat some of the symptoms of PTSD, especially depression. PEMF therapy can deliver repetitive magnetic pulses that stimulate various nerve cells controlling depression and mood. According to the study published in Clinical Psychopharmacology and Neuroscience in 2013, all patients with PTSD receiving PEMF therapy showed a reduction both in re-experiencing symptoms and in overall depression.

Many combat veterans with PTSD often lack a sound, restorative sleep because of the traumatic events they have encountered. Low frequency PEMF devices can make them feel relax in the evening and help them fall and stay asleep. PEMF therapy also has positive effects on calming the brain and regulating circadian rhythms. And studies show that circadian rhythms have an important role in controlling sleep patterns and cycles.

The immune system is the body's defense against infections. It works hard to protect you every day. It is your body's version of the frontline military performing a remarkable job of defending you against disease-causing bacteria, viruses, parasites, and other micro organisms. It is a complex network of cells and proteins including the white blood cells, antibodies, complement system, lymphatic system, spleen, bone marrow, and thymus.

The immune system keeps a record of every microbe it has ever encountered and defeated, in types of white blood cells (B- and T-lymphocytes) known as memory cells. This means it can recognize and destroy the microbe quickly if it enters and attacks the body again, before it can multiply and make you sick.

Stress has a significant effect on your immune system. PEMF therapy is a drug-free and safe method to treat stress. PEMF devices emit pulsating electromagnetic fields and work using principles of brainwave entrainment and brain stimulation to up-modulate certain neuroendocrine functions, which increase the production of hormones and neurotransmitter chemicals to help fight depression and mental illnesses.

After an injury, the immune system is responsible for maintaining a delicate balance between proinflammatory and pro-regenerative immune cells. PEMF is emerging as innovative treatment for regulation of inflammation, which could have significant effects on tissue regeneration. PEMF modulates inflammatory processes by suppressing inflammatory responses at the cell membrane level through the regulation of pro- and anti-inflammatory cytokine secretion during different stages of inflammatory response.

Several studies have reported that PEMF can modulate both cell surface receptor expression/activation and downstream signal transduction pathways, thereby restoring homeostatic cell functions such as viability, proliferation, differentiation, communication with neighboring cells, and interaction with components of the extracellular matrix (ECM).PEMF can activate multiple intracellular pathways, including numerous processes and biochemical mechanisms within both the immune system and tissue regenerative processes, such as the musculoskeletal system and the nervous system.

The immune system is a system of cells that play the same role within the body. During the infections and diseases cells can become fatigued and dysfunctional.PEMF helps to recharge our white blood cellsand thus boost the immune system very effectively by activating and restoring energy to the cells, decreasing inflammation, stimulating circulation and increasing cellular oxygenation.

PEMF waves penetrate all cells, increases ion exchange, normalizes circulation and increases oxygen utilization of the cell. The waves move through the cells in those damaged regions and stimulate and encourage the immune system. 

PEMF has highly beneficial effects on neutrophils, which are, along with leucocytes, the immune system’s main weapon in fighting pathogens.

Cartilage is the tissue that covers the articular ends of the bones. It is a dense and flexible elastic structure which significantly reduces friction between the bone contact surfaces and keeps them from rubbing together. It does not contain blood vessels or nerves and hence has a very slow recovery speed

PEMF stimulates the osteoblasts and the extracellular matrix in rebuilding bone structure and cartilage. It energizes the chondrocyte cells which produce the cartilaginous matrix thus speeding up the production of cartilage. Therefore, the stimulation of these cells produces new cartilage where previously it was damaged or worn out. At the same time the osteoclasts break down bone structure that has been damaged, worn out, or weakened, while the osteoblasts are stimulated to regenerate new bone structure.

Since the symptoms of cartilage damages include pain, inflammation and discomfort, PEMF therapy has been proven to be very effective to help reduce pain, increase circulation and decrease inflammation.

PEMF is able to reduce pain very effectively by activating and restoring energy to the cells, decreasing inflammation, stimulating circulation and increasing cellular oxygenation.

Pulsed magnetic fields can also dramatically improve oxygen utilization in injured tissues and promote cell repair. Various scientific investigations have shown that pulsating magnetic fields can reduce pain sensations.

PEMF triggers a metabolic reaction that reduces inflammation. It modulates inflammatory processes through the regulation of pro and anti-inflammatory cytokine secretion during different stages of inflammatory response.

PEMF therapy has been shown to accelerate healing by eliminating the inflammation prolonging T cells these cells.PEMFs also inhibit growth and the natural death of unwanted lymphocytes that decreases inflammation

PEMF therapy thus can help in the prevention of invasive hips and knees replacement surgeries.

Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS) or Lou Gehrig's disease

ALS is a progressive disease characterized by the loss of motor neurons, or the nerve cells involved in the control of the voluntary muscles.

In ALS, both the upper motor neurons (those in the brain) and the lower motor neurons (those in the spinal cord and muscles) degenerate or die and stop sending messages to the muscles. Gradually the muscles start to weaken, twitch, and waste away or atrophy. Finally As the muscles get weaker, it gets harder to walk, talk, eat, and breathe.

Current treatments for ALS cannot reverse the damage caused by the disease or provide a cure.

PEMF has also shown positive effects with ALS or the Lou Gehrig's disease and can help to slow the deterioration in function, prevent complications, and increase the comfort and independence of patients.

PEMF can influence the below factors

Excitotoxicity: - Glutamate-induced excitotoxicity is common in the pathogenesis of many neurological diseases including ALS, and as such Riluzole, an anti-glutamatergic agent is the only approved therapy for ALS. An exciting new study has demonstrated that PEMF therapy protects against excitotoxicity by acting as an endocannabinoid modulator.

Depression: - A key benefit of PEMF for ALS patients is its role in treating depression. Neuropsychiatric conditions are overrepresented in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) and major depressive disorder is considered to be an early marker of cerebral neurodegeneration. An ALS diagnosis is almost always preceded by a depressive episode. PEMF is FDA-approved for treatment resistant depression

Detoxification: - Since PEMF therapy improves blood flow and cellular detoxification, it addresses the toxicity related causes of ALS, mainly from environmental pollutants and heavy metals.

Acute bronchitis is swelling and inflamed tissue in the main passages that carry air to the lungs. This swelling narrows the airways, which makes it harder to breathe. Other symptoms of bronchitis are a cough and coughing up mucus. It usually lasts up to 3 weeks.

Chronic bronchitis is a daily productive cough that lasts for 3 months of the year and for at least 2 years in a row. The symptoms of chronic bronchitis can flare up during the winter months.

Antibiotics are often the first course of treatment, but there are times when they take a long time to be effective. Sometimes the medications fail.

This article is going to share with you how you can use PEMF therapy to beat bronchitis, and possibly prevent it from developing in the future.

You can use PEMF therapy to beat bronchitis in the following ways.

    Strengthen and rebuild weakened, damaged, or injured cells. Healthy cells prevent illness, and if they are damaged and you become ill, your bout of bronchitis or any illness can be reduced when you use PEMF therapy.
    Reduces inflammation. PEMF therapy has been shown to reduce inflammation. This has been shown mainly through studies in orthopedics when sports injuries have occurred. Many seek help in reducing inflammation in joints, muscles, and tissues. When inflammation is reduced, swelling is also reduced, thus reducing pain. When bronchitis develops the bronchial tubes become inflamed. This can cause more coughing spells to be triggered, and as the coughing continues the inflammation can become worse. As the cells receive stimulation from the pulsed electromagnetic fields, the tissues, blood vessels and capillaries can heal. Research has shown us that PEMF also helps for the bronchial spasms.

Carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) is a medical condition of the hand function that occurs due to compression or squeezing of the median nerve running from the forearm into the palm.

The carpal tunnel is formed by the bones, tendons and ligaments that surround the median nerve. Since the median nerve supplies sensation to the thumb, index, and middle finger and part of the ring finger (digits one through four), and provides motion to the muscles of the thumb and hand, CTS sufferers notice numbness, tingling, pain and weakness in these areas.

Since the symptoms of Carpal Tunnel Syndrome include pain, inflammation and discomfort, PEMF therapy has been proven to be very effective to help reduce pain, increase circulation and decrease inflammation.

PEMF works on the mitochondrial level to stimulate the debilitated cells in the tissues, ligaments and the carpal tunnel itself for a rapid recovery in mild to medium cases

One important study compared PEMF therapy to surgery, demonstrating that PEMFs were at least equal to if not better than surgery.

Ankylosing spondylitis is a form of arthritis featuring chronic inflammation of the spine and the sacroiliac joints (sacroiliitis). This lifelong condition, also known as Bechterew disease, usually starts in the lower back. It causes inflammation between your vertebrae, which are the bones that constitute your spine, and also in the joints between your spine and pelvis.

Early symptoms of AS include back pain and stiffness. It typically begins in early adulthood. Over time, AS can fuse your vertebrae together, limiting movement.

There's no cure for Ankylosing spondylitis. Medication and exercise can ease pain and help keep the back strong.

PEMF is a non-surgical, drug free technology that can help to ease the symptoms and slow down the progression. It uses the power of electromagnets to stimulate cell regeneration, increase blood flow, and transport calcium to bones and cartilage. As a result, it reduces inflammation, alleviates burning and tingling, and reduces pain.

PEMF therapy works on the source of the pain and stimulates natural repair processes to heal damaged tissues by activating energy at the cellular level. It helps to calm the nerves and aids in recovery from injury and inflammation.

PEMF therapy can help to restore correct polarization to neurons, helping them to function properly. The PEMF stimulation promotes blood flow to your damaged nerves, which can accelerate nerve repair and improve your symptoms. It can also lower inflammation.

Neck pain is a very common situation. Neck muscles can be strained from poor posture — whether it's leaning over your computer or hunching over your workbench.It causes the neck discomfort, headaches or limited cervical vertebra activity.

Neck pain can originate in the muscles, nerves, tendons, joints, and bones of the neck. Maybe your neck is constantly sore, stiff, or tight, or maybe you feel a sharp pain when you turn your head in a certain direction. Neck pain can also be accompanied by a tingling sensation or numbness.

The following are several common causes of neck pain.

• Muscle Strain: Neck muscles can be strained from a long time working or driving without changing position, sleeping on an uncomfortable pillow or in a bad position, etc.
• Injury: The neck muscles and bones can be easily damaged by car accidents, falls, sports, etc. These injuries can cause neck pain or stiffness.
• Cervical Spondylosis: The cervical vertebrae degenerate with age. When they degenerate to a certain extent, it will cause cervical vertebra hyperplasia and cervical disc herniation, which will press the neck nerves, muscles, ligaments, and then lead to neck pain.
• Diseases: Certain diseases like Rheumatoid arthritis, Osteoporosis, Fibromyalgia are also common causes of neck pain.

It is well-known that PEMF therapy has a significant effect on pain relief by altering the local tissue environment from the part of pain begins. It can easily penetrate the neck area using a low frequency pulsed electromagnetic field to improve circulation and cell metabolism so that our cells regain their positive charge and return to health status. 

Clinical studies have shown that PEMF can help with neck sprains, chronic wound repair, as well as acute ankle sprains. It is a safe and effective treatment option for neck pain. Pulsed electromagnetic field therapy is non-invasive and it’s a drug-free alternative to treat neck pain.

Complex regional pain syndrome (CRPS)

It is a form of chronic pain that usually affects an arm or a leg. CRPS typically develops after an injury, a surgery, a stroke or a heart attack. The pain is out of proportion to the severity of the initial injury.

CRPS is uncommon, and its cause isn't clearly understood.There is no cure. It can get worse over time, and may spread to other parts of the body. Occasionally the symptoms go away, either temporarily or for good.

There are 2 types of the CRPS

• CRPS type 1 follows an injury such as a fracture or sprain but with no nerve damage and is sometimes referred to as reflex sympathetic dystrophy (RSD) or Sudeck's syndrome.
• CRPS type 2 follows damage to a nerve in the limb and is sometimes referred to as causalgia.

Symptoms in the affected area are

• Dramatic changes in skin temperature, colour, or texture
• Intense burning pain
• Extreme skin sensitivity
• Swelling and stiffness in affected joints
• Decreased ability to move the affected body part

People with CRPS become anxious or depressed due to the long-term (chronic).Treatment is most effective when started early. In such cases, improvement and even remission are possible.It focuses on relieving the pain, and can include medicines, physical therapy, and nerve blocks.

PEMF is a therapy trusted by medical practitioners to help people live a more active, pain-free and drug-free lifestyle. It works in assisting the release of the body's natural endorphins, thus can reduce pain and also promote increased range of motion. It can further help dilate blood vessels, which may reduce inflammation and increase blood flow.  

PEMF devices emit pulsating electromagnetic fields and work using principles of brainwave entrainment and brain stimulationto up-modulate certain neuroendocrine functions, which increase the production of hormones and neurotransmitter chemicals to help fight depression and mental illnesses.

Depression is an illness that involves the body, mood, and thoughts and affects the way a person eats and sleeps, the way one feels about oneself, and the way one thinks about things. A depressive disorder is not the same as a passing blue mood and is more than a case of persistent sadness.

Symptoms of depression also include

• feelings of worthlessness,
• hopelessness,
• helplessness,
• guilt,
• lack of interest in daily activities,
• irritability,
• loss of energy,
• loss of appetite,
• sleep problems,
• self-loathing,
• thoughts of suicide.

Currently, Depression is often treated with antidepressant drugs called SSRIs (Selective Serotonin Reuptake Inhibitors). But there are many problems with the use of SSRIs for depression. They may need at least 4-6 weeks to take effect since they cannot be working specifically at the brain synapse level. So they have to recruit a lot of synapses to have a positive benefit. Also, it is estimated that 30% of patients with depression are resistant to antidepressant drugs.

PEMF therapy is a drug-free and safe method to treat depression. PEMF devices emit pulsating electromagnetic fields and work using principles of brainwave entrainment and brain stimulation to up-modulate certain neuroendocrine functions, which increase the production of hormones and neurotransmitter chemicals to help fight depression and mental illnesses.

Osteoarthritis (also known as OA) is a progressive & degenerative disease of the musculoskeletal system.It is commonly referred to as "wear and tear" of the joints.It tends to occur in the hand joints, spine, hips, knees, and great toes. 

It is a disease of the entire joint, involving the cartilage, joint lining, ligaments, and bone , characterized by breakdown of the cartilage (the tissue that cushions the ends of the bones between joints), bony changes of the joints, deterioration of tendons and ligaments, and various degrees of inflammation of the joint lining (called the synovium).

Symptoms include:

• Joint pain and stiffness
• Knobby swelling at the joint
• Cracking or grinding noise with joint movement
• Decreased function of the joint

“Although NSAIDs remain the gold standard for the treatment of pain in OA, there is increasing need to find conservative and alternative approaches, in order to avoid the toxicity associated with the chronic use of the analgesics, mostly in the elderly population,” wrote Dr. Gian Luca Bagnato of the University of Messina (Italy) and his colleagues (Rheumatology [Oxford]. 2015 Dec 24. doi: 10.1093/rheumatology/kev426).

PEMF therapy can be a very important tool for the treatment of arthritis as it has shown promising therapeutic effectiveness on bone- and cartilage-related pathologies, It can work well to improve symptoms and may keep the condition from getting worse by slowing down the progression . 

The goal of osteoarthritis treatment is to reduce pain and improve function.PEMF therapy has been shown to reduce inflammation of all types and improve blood flow which is essential for healing of tissues.

"Asthma" is an ancient Greek word meaning "short breath”, It is a chronic lung condition featuring narrow, inflamed airways (bronchial tubes) producing extra mucus. This can make breathing difficult and trigger coughing, wheezing and shortness of breath.

When the breathing tubes of the lungs become chronically inflamed, they can become sensitive to inhaled environmental allergens and irritants that can trigger asthma. These environmental triggers may include pollen, pollution, and tobacco smoke etc.

Asthma signs and symptoms include:

    • Shortness of breath
    • Chest tightness or pain
    • Trouble sleeping caused by shortness of breath,         coughing or wheezing
     • A whistling or wheezing sound when exhaling                      (wheezing is a common sign of asthma in children)
    

Coughing or wheezing attacks that are worsened by a        respiratory virus, such as a cold or the flu

Asthma happens due to inflammation of the airways. Reducing inflammation is the key to bringing greater healing to lungs and ultimately the entire body.

PEMF improves airway patency due to its spasmolytic and anti- inflammatory effects, enhances the microcirculation of oxygenated blood in the lung tissue as well as blood oxygen saturation due to its strong vasodilatory effect on the pre-capillary arterioles and capillaries, and it reduces swelling.

There is sufficient body of research information about PEMF therapy for Asthma, it’s effects, uses and how beneficial it has been for several users.
