Unknown Benefits of PEMF Therapy

PEMF Therapy

Pulsed electromagnetic field therapy (PEMFT or PEMF therapy) employs electromagnetic fields to treat non-union injuries and stress. The FDA had approved many such stimulation devices by 2007, one of which is the PEMF mat.

The FDA issued a notice to a manufacturer in 2013 for marketing the tool for unapproved applications such as cerebral palsy and spinal cord injury. 

Unknown benefits

PEMF Therapy in the affected areas will lead to lower pain, swelling, and increased movement. PEMF therapy can assist you with several situations, including regenerating injured cells, restoring broken tendons, and fixing fractured bones. Athletic output can be increased, inflammation minimized, cell metabolic stimuli enhanced, and injury can heal faster. In addition, PEMF therapy enhances cellular oxygen uptake by up to 200 percent. This alleviates the discomfort caused by a lack of oxygen.

The procedure is non-invasive and appropriate for people of all ages. After just a few treatments, promising effects were shown, even after years of chronic pain. PEMF Therapy has been practiced in Europe for over 20 years in over 400,000 sessions for individuals suffering from migraines, sports injuries, and other pain syndromes. It has also been licensed by the FDA to facilitate the healing of non-healing bone unions.

Delayed union or nonunion fractures

It was reported that 5–10 % of fractures might develop delayed union or nonunion under the usual treatment. These non-union bone fractures will bring along prolonged pain and disability for the patients and result in heavy social and economic burdens. Surgery is currently the preferred treatment for delayed unions and nonunion fractures, but probably may bring about serious complications, such as neurovascular damage, infection, or implant-related problems. As an alternative, PEMF therapy, which has attracted the attention of clinicians in recent years, has the potential to reduce the risk of these complications.

 Improved immunity

You are exposed to innumerable pathogens each day, especially if the immune system has an imbalance. Besides the pain and discomfort, you would need to spend a substantial amount of money and time on proper treatment.

PEMF treatment energizes your white blood cells to ensure that the immune system functions best, reducing the chance of your pet being ill.

Nerve and tissue regeneration

PEMF therapy also makes it easier for patients who are concerned that their injuries will not heal properly. PEMF therapy experiments indicate that tissue healing is speeded up when applied.

PEMF therapy has neuro regenerative features that help heal damage from old wounds by regrowing the nervous tissue, cells, and cell products!

Diabetic Neuropathic Benefits

The ectopic firing of unmyelinated C-fibers with sodium and calcium channel build-up triggers neuropathy pain and, more importantly, peripheral neuropathy. Due to the safely induced low-frequency currents that depolarize, repolarize and hyperpolarize neurons, PEMF was believed to modulate neuropathic pain if that is guided into a single foot.

Tendon disorders

Tendon disorders, which involve both acute and chronic tendon injuries and tendinopathies, are among the most common musculoskeletal disorders, causing pain and disability. Non-operative treatment, such as nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, ultrasound, and physiotherapy, is generally considered the first-line treatment. Tendon pathologies can take a long time to heal from, and the findings are often disappointing.

Earlier studies have shown that PEMFs can help regulate the inflammation of articular tissue and promote anabolic pathways leading to tissue reparation. Many experiments have recently been performed to assess the effectiveness of using PEMFs to treat tendon disorders.

Additional conditions

PEMF mat has been shown to help with lateral epicondylitis, degenerative disc disease, fibromyalgia, in addition to the key applications listed above. As seen, the PEMF indications can broaden with time and practice for the treatment of musculoskeletal disorders.
