What is Pulsed Magnetic Therapy?
Pulsed magnetic therapy, also called pulsed electromagnetic field therapy (PEMF), is a reparative technique which uses safe electrical pulses. Electrical energy is used to create magnetic pulses which travel through injured tissues directly to the cells in the human body. These magnetic pulses vary in strength from ultra low to high intensity and are controlled by the pulsed magnetic therapy machine.
When the electrical energy is on, the pulsed magnetic energy travels into cells and stimulates them. The cellular membrane expands. As the electrical energy is turned off, the cell membrane relaxes.
One can compare this process to lifting weights in the gym. A person contracts a muscle while lifting a dumbbell and then relaxes the muscle in between repetitions.
Why use Pulsed Magnetic Therapy?
The benefits of this therapy can easily be seen by comparing this process to the process of humans exercising their body. People are encouraged to exercise for the various benefits working out provides. The human body functions better when exposed to a regular exercise routine. Blood flow and heart rate improve as does a person’s overall energy. The body as a whole functions better when exposed to a workout regime.
Pulsed magnetic therapy provides similar exercise for the cells within the human body. The pulsed magnetic therapy exercises cells and allows cells to function better in regards to cell metabolism. When a cell functions at optimal levels, a person’s healing process is increased.
What successes have been seen using Pulsed Magnetic Therapy?
Pulsed magnetic therapy has caused significant changes with various patients and their health conditions. Some of these cases are:
- In a migraine study, 73% of the patients reported a reduced decreased number of headaches
- Resolved neck and shoulder pain caused by osteoporosis
- Dramatic improvement in patients recovering from surgery in regards to their range of motion
- Resolved pain caused by fibromyalgia
Who practices Pulsed Magnetic Therapy?
Doctors from all over the world have become aware of the uses, benefits and results of pulsed magnetic therapy. Dr. Cohen, from Go Beyond Relief, located in Greenville, NC has been successfully using pulsed magnetic therapy with many patients.
