What is PEMF?

Pulsed electromagnetic field (PEMF) therapy is a non-invasive treatment that uses electromagnetic fields to stimulate tissue healing.  It's also known as low field magnetic stimulation. 

How it works

• A device generates rhythmic pulses of electromagnetic energy 

• The pulses induce small electric currents in the tissue 

• The currents stimulate nerve and muscle cells, which can help with pain and healing 

What it's used for

• Pain: PEMF therapy can help with pain from injuries, osteoarthritis, and cancer treatments 

• Healing: PEMF therapy can help with healing fractures, chronic wounds, and other tissues 

• Mobility: PEMF therapy can help improve mobility after surgery 

• Fatigue: PEMF therapy can help with fatigue related to multiple sclerosis 

Who can use it? 

• PEMF therapy can be used to help many conditions, but it's not recommended for people with pacemakers, during pregnancy, or those trying to conceive

How it's used 

• The patient lies on a therapy pad while the device generates pulses

• The strength and frequency of the pulses can be adjusted for each person

What to expect

When you come to your session, please drink 8 oz of water before the session.  Not soda or liquids, it must be water.  You will want to drink another 8 oz of water after the session to help remove the toxins released by increased cellular activity.

You will be asked to remove metal and electronic devices from your pockets.  This includes phones, car keys, pagers, watches and any large metal objects.  A protective box will be provided for you to place these items to protect them from possible interference from magnetic fields.

The session will last between 15 and 25 minutes.  During that time, you will remain on your back on the massage table with your eyes closed.  Music or bionic beats will be played during your session.  If you have problems laying on your back for that amount of time, please let me know.

During your time on the table, you should relax your body to allow the gentle magnetic pulses to pass into your body.

When your session is over, take a moment to sit up before getting off the table. 

After you are comfortable, you can put on your shoes, retrieve your items from the protective box and go about your day.
