How It Works?

Pulsed Electromagnetic Field

PEMF is cellular exercise based on the principles of pulsed electromagnetic field therapy. Exercising the cells in this way allows for an exchange of fluids. Toxins are expelled, and fresh minerals, nutrients, and water enter the cell, stimulating optimal function.
In fact, magnetic therapy was deemed so powerful, and became so popular, that magnet-based products such as boots, girdles, and caps were sold through the mail. Thomas F. Valone’s 2003 presentation to the Whole Person Healing Conference & Tesla Energy Science Conference shed some light on PEMF’s early beginnings even more.

PEMF stands for pulsed electromagnetic field. Pulsed electromagnetic field therapy, also known as PEMF therapy or PEMFT, is a safe and effective treatment option with a wide range of applications. There are many different uses for pulsed electromagnetic field therapy including recovery and healing, injury prevention, and promoting good mental and physical health. Here’s a look at how PEMF therapy works and common uses for PEMF therapy.

How PEMF therapy works

A pulsed electromagnetic field system includes a main PEMF device and a PEMF coil. You control the system through the PEMF device, which sends pulsed electrical signals to the coil. This coil might be a paddle, a mat, a loop, a hoof box, or some other mechanism. The type of PEMF coil you need depends on how you intend on using your system.

The coil produces the pulsed electromagnetic fields, for which PEMF therapy is named. Our system generates these fields of electromagnetic energy in pulses. These pulses alternately engage and relax the cells in the body — effectively massaging the cells.
There’s electromagnetic energy all around us at all times. You find EMFs produced in nature and by man-made devices. The reason that PEMF therapy works is because of the duration of the treatments, the concentration of the energy, and the pulsing and the frequency of the electromagnetic fields.

PEMF therapy sends electromagnetic pulses deep through the tissues of the body. Electricity is only used to power the device and create the PEMF pulses. Electrical signals never enter your body. Pulsed electromagnetic field therapy offers a safe, painless, and effective treatment with wide-re The frequency ranges specified for pulsed electromagnetic field therapy devices range between 1 Hz to more than 1000 Hz. Many independent studies done during the last 30 years clearly indicate that frequencies which are beneficial for human applications are mainly between 1 and 50 Hz.

Electromagnetic pulsing frequencies above 100-200 Hz quickly decrease in their ability aching health benefits.

How PEMF therapy improves your health

Chiropractors, massage therapists, physical therapists, trainers and many other wellness professionals offer PEMF therapy. Equine trainers and veterinarians offer PEMF therapy as well. Pulsed electromagnetic field therapy works on the molecular level to promote good cell health and proper cell function for both humans and animals. Here are just a few of the health benefits of PEMF therapy.

• Improved immune response
• Reduced recovery from exercise and physical competition
• Reduced recovery time from illness and injury
• Increased nutrient absorption
• Improved circulation
• Increased cellular oxygenation
• Reduced pain, swelling, and inflammation
• Wound healing and tissue repair
• Improve mood and reduce stress
• Promotes wellness and good overall health
• Improved mobility and range of motion

The FDA approves PEMF therapy as a treatment option for several health issues including anxiety and depression, healing nonunion bone fractures, muscle stimulation, and migraine headaches.

PEMF Therapy pulses a magnetic field into the body, creating an extraordinary healing effect. The results are less pain, reduction in swelling, and increased range of motion in the affected areas. Damaged cells are reenergized by boosting electrical charges within the cell that restore it to its normal healthy state. Cellular metabolism increases, blood cells are regenerated, circulation is improved, and absorption of oxygen is increased by upwards of 200%. The immune system becomes healthier and the liver, kidneys, and colon are better able to eliminate waste and toxins.

The Earth and the body each produce a vast range of frequencies.

Where can I find more information about PEMFs?

The websites, DrPawluk.com and FlexPulse.com as places and the book “Power Tools for Health” where you can find credible, scientifically based information and education about pulsed electromagnetic field therapies.  I also provide reviews of different PEMF products that give you options of different approaches using pulsed electromagnetic field therapy. These reviews help to reduce confusion about the different devices, objectively and with balance. Furthermore, there is a PEMF Buyer’s Guide on the DrPawluk.com site about how to make decisions as to which PEMF system is best for you.

Pulsed electromagnetic fields energize the cells and carry nutrients and oxygen. It optimizes the body’s natural healing abilities.

Pulsed electromagnetic field therapy offers many health benefits. PEMF therapy directly treats joint pain in several ways:

• improved immune response
• improved circulation
• increased cell oxygenation
• improved cell health
• promotes proper function
• removal of waste material from cells
• reduce swelling, and inflammation
• reduce pain and soreness
• improve mobility and range of motion
• improved nutrient absorption

Cells need to recharge with energy in order to function properly, absorb nutrients, and dispose of waste materials. PEMF can help your body produce energy by boosting blood circulation and oxygenation in the cells. When all the cells work efficiently, the body’s natural healing powers improve dramatically.

Pain Relief with PEMF

The mechanism of pain in our body is controlled by electrical signals sent to the brain. When pain becomes chronic, there is usually a disturbance in blood supply and circulation to the cells, preventing healing processes. PEMF therapy stimulates blood supply and oxygenation while removing toxins. Pain is reduced and healing is promoted.

Back Pain

Back pain affects almost everyone at some point. It is often associated with overuse of the back and spine and heavy lifting. Conditions such as arthritis and osteoporosis, as well as degenerative changes can affect the back and cause chronic pain. Other common causes are muscle strains, bulging or ruptured discs, spinal stenosis, and scoliosis.

Cells need to recharge with energy in order to function properly, absorb nutrients, and dispose of waste materials. PEMF can help your body produce energy by boosting blood circulation and oxygenation in the cells. When all the cells work efficiently, the body’s natural healing powers improve dramatically.

Middle-range intensities (such as 5 gauss or 500 microtesla – 10 gauss or 1 millitesla) should be used for most health conditions, and at least 10 gauss or higher should be used for chronic conditions and dysfunction of the muscles or bones.Because the pulses are stronger, the cells they pass through receive more electromagnetic charge.

PEMF Cautions

Pacemakers/Defibrillators – If you have a pacemaker, defibrillator or any type of similar implant do not use the PEMF feature as it may cause interference.
