PEMF (Pulsed Electromagnetic Field) therapy has been used to treat a wide range of conditions, including pain, inflammation, depression, and anxiety. Here are some examples of PEMF therapy:
Reduced Pain & Inflammation
PEMF therapy has been shown to relieve pain in patients with various conditions, such as osteoarthritis, fibromyalgia, and joint pain. Patients with knee osteoarthritis who underwent PEMF therapy reported significant reductions in pain and improvements in their overall function.
Additionally, PEMF therapy has reduced inflammation in individuals with various conditions, including rheumatoid arthritis.
Improved Healing & Sleep
PEMF technology, with its ability to improve blood viscosity, circulation, and cell metabolism, holds potential in reducing recovery time. Pulsed Electromagnetic Therapy may help manage discomfort, increase performance, improve muscle fitness, and importantly, reduce recovery time from post-surgery, sports or workplace-related injuries.
Despite the lack of published clinical research, there is broad anecdotal evidence that PEMF treatment significantly improves sleep quality through enhancing circulation. This reassures us of the potential benefits of PEMF technology.
Research & Development
In 1979 the FDA (the U.S. Food and Drug Administration) allowed PEMF to be used on humans for non-union fractures and bone healing. Ten years later, this was extended to treating pain and oedema in soft tissue.
Because of the detrimental effects of low gravity on astronauts’ bone and cartilage formation, NASA funded a US$3.5 million research and development program into PEMF. NASA was awarded a patent for PEMF technology in 2009.
