What is PEMF?
Pulsed Electro Magnetic Field therapy (PEMF) is a form of
treatment which is reparative in nature and is, therefore, commonly used by
orthopedics that use it for the treatment of failed fusion, non-union
fractures, and depression. When it comes to bone healing, PEMF treatment makes
use of pulsed magnetic fields which are directed at the injured area. (Diniz, 2002) These pass through
the injured tissue and are said to be effective for the purpose of cellular
repair. There are many FDA approved devices that make use of such a simulation.
These devices serve to provide a solution which can facilitate bone repair. You
can keep your cells healthy and fine tuned by performing Pulsed
Electro-Magnetic Field therapy daily even if it is only for a minutes.
Uses of PEMF
PEMFs can be used to:
·
Reduce inflammation, pain, any possible platelet
linkage or in reducing the possible effects of stress on the body.
·
It can be used to increase energy levels in an
individual, oxygenation of blood and tissue, cholesterol level and blood
pressure, the quality of sleep, the ability to regenerate cells, cellular
detoxification and in can help in the uptake of nutrients.
·
Accelerate the repair process of the soft tissue
and the bone.
·
Balance the immune system and stimulating the
DNA and RNA.
·
Relax muscles.
This treatment has been used for decades now, for the
treatment of numerous conditions in various medical disciplines. This treatment
has been found to be effective on humans, as well as animals. Realizing its
great potential and its importance, the National Institute of Health has made
PEMF research its top priority. Treatment has already been approved by the FDA
for treating a number of problems, like:
·
Healing of wounds.
·
Mending broken bones.
·
Treating depression.
·
For reducing welling on tissues and for reducing
pain.
·
Most of the PEMF devices which are used for
therapeutic purposes are considered to be safe by various organizations and
multiple standards.
How it works?
Everything consists of energy. Energy has a dynamic presence
and has a frequency along with which it operates and this frequency changes within
seconds.
We are aware of the fact that the nature of all forms of
energy is electromagnetic. All the atoms, cells, and chemicals are capable of
producing fields which are electromagnetic and are called Electro-Magnetic
Fields (EMCs). All the organs in our body are capable of producing their own
distinct Bio Electro-Magnetic field. Apart from this, there are 70 million
cells in our body all of which communicate with each other by exchanging
electromagnetic frequencies. The importance of the electromagnetic activity is
such, that without it life is not possible.
Electromagnetic energy is responsible for controlling the
chemistry which controls the functions of tissues in the body. When
electromagnetic energy in the body is disrupted, cell metabolism is impaired
and leads to diseases.
PEMF treatment is used to correct impaired chemistry and as
a result, it corrects the cells’ functions. PEMF treatment provides your cells
with electromagnetic fields which are life enhancing. Even the weakest PEMFs
are able to pass through your body without getting absorbed or altered by any
organ or bone, in anyway. This passing through of PEMFs helps in restoring most
chemical and electrical processes in tissues and they act like support for
cells.
