GUIDED PEMF THERAPY
Our body has its own electromagnetic field due to the voltage that each cell carries, creating an intricate electromagnetic exchange that underlies every cellular and tissue function. In nature, electromagnetic fields are abundant. Pulsed Electromagnetic Field Therapy (PEMF) delivers low-frequency electromagnetic fields that penetrate the body, reaching every cell, tissue, organ, and bone without being absorbed or altered. As these fields pass through the body, they stimulate the electrical and chemical processes in the tissues, promoting better cell function and overall health.
Much like a battery, the human body relies on this electrical energy for maintaining optimal health. However, factors such as increased age, injuries, and illness can lead to a decline in these vital electric charges. PEMF Therapy serves to restore healthy electrical balance within the body, enhancing cellular vitality and contributing to improved overall well-being.
Over the past 40 years, researchers all over the world have studied the effects of PEMF, conducting thousands of peer-reviewed studies. As a result, PEMF has been known to aid with:
-
Reducing, if not eliminating joint discomfort
-
Stimulating bone growth
-
Postoperative edema and pain
-
As an adjunct to cervical fusion surgery
-
Depression in patients unresponsive to medication
-
Reversing bone loss and muscle degeneration
