What is Pulsed Electromagnetic Field Therapy?
PEMF (Pulsed Electromagnetic Field Therapy) therapies are an innovative form of treatment that use pulsed electromagnetic fields to improve health and well-being. These devices emit pulses of low-level electromagnetic energy that penetrate the body, stimulating cells and promoting their natural ability to repair and regenerate.
PEMF is a form of recharging your cells by increasing and promotes the movement of ions and electrolytes. Supports cellular metabolism, increases ATP production and aids the the body's own natural healing.
PEMF therapy can be used by almost anyone to help with almost any condition or problem. Because magnetic fields affect us on a cellular level, they are not condition-specific. Studies on PEMF therapy has shown that it decreases inflammation, increase circulation, enhance muscle function, speeds up bone healing, reduce the effects of stress, and improve blood oxygenation, among a myriad of other things.
The PEMF machine is high powered, but it generates low frequency energy. The strength of the electromagnetic field is comparable to the natural electromagnetic field of the earth.
PEMF for Depression
Pulsed electromagnetic field therapy has also been shown in studies to be effective in treating depression, even in people with treatment-resistant depression. One study treated individuals with low-level transcranial PEMF, or T-PEMF. The treatment group was found to experience a 62% reduction in depression symptoms according to the Depression Rating Scale after 5 weeks of treatment.
The researchers concluded that T-PEMF therapy could play an important role as an additional treatment option for depression and treatment-resistant types of depression.
PEMF Against Cancer
Pulsed Electromagnetic Field (PEMF) therapy has emerged as a promising option in the treatment of cancer, complementing conventional treatment protocols. Research published in the journal Cancer Medicine highlights several benefits and specific applications of PEMF therapy in oncology.
Research has shown the effectiveness of PEMF therapy in treating several types of cancer, in both in vivo and in vitro studies such as prostate, breasts, lungs, ovaries, skin and pancreas.
The study notes that all groups treated with PEMF in in vivo studies showed a slower tumor growth rate compared to controls. This confirms the ability of this therapy to modulate the electrochemistry and physiology of cancer cells, while regulating mitosis processes and cell membrane function. PEMFs have also been shown to induce changes in membrane transport capacity by affecting ion valves and the osmotic potential of cells. These actions reduce stressors at the cellular level, improve DNA transcription rates, and modulate immune responses to improve the health of cancer patients.
Pulsed Electromagnetic Field (PEMF) therapy has shown great potential in promoting cartilage growth and repair, offering an effective treatment option for conditions such as arthritis. Scientific studies support these benefits, highlighting PEMF's ability to address joint problems safely, inexpensively, and non-invasively.
Combining massage with PEMF
Using PEMF before a massage therapy helps the client in general and also helps to relax the muscles. It relaxes and detoxifies the muscles when using PEMF consistently, due to the cumulative physical effects of keeping stress levels to a minimum.
By using the PEMF before lymphatic drainage therapy, it helps to open up the lymph vessels for better results.
The PEMF therapy helps to mechanically stimulate the lymphatic vessels and waste products are flushed away from the cells more efficiently. PEMF therapy supports immune health by mechanically stimulating lymphatic drainage and blood flow.
The PEMF was designed to help clean and repair all lymph issues. It supports lymph flow and may also open up blocked or scarred lymph tissue. It may also be used to help with swollen legs or arms.
Ways to build up your immune system:
- Get eight hours of sleep – Sleep deprivation can have detrimental effects on the immune system.
- Avoid drinking alcohol – A glass of wine or a bottle of beer will harm you, but too much of it will weaken your immune system.
- Eat nutritious foods – Eat a diverse diet rich in vegetables, fruits, nuts, seeds, and legumes.
- Spend time outside – Sunlight promotes the production of vitamin D, which impacts the immune system positively.
- Use PEMF therapy – PEMF therapy has very beneficial effects on the immune system, as numerous studies prove.
May be used alone or as an add - on to the other therapies we provide.

PEMF for pets
Pulsed Electromagnetic Field (PEMF) therapy is not only effective for humans, but it has also been shown to be a valuable tool in veterinary medicine. This therapy is used to treat a wide range of conditions in animals, including dogs, cats, and horses, offering benefits similar to those seen in humans. PEMF favors healing at the cellular level, reduce inflammation, reduce pain, and improves circulation.
The U.S. FDA has approved the use of PEMF therapies in animals to treat:
- Inflammation (including tendonitis, osteomyelitis, and pain)
- Bone abnormalities and fractures Lameness and vertebrae disease
- Neurological disorders Musculoskeletal conditions
- Chronic diseases
- Degenerative joint diseases
The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) recommends PEMF as a therapy for spinal cord problems in animals, skin conditions, and complications from circulatory problems, cancer, and diabetes.
