PAIN REDUCTION & ANALGESIC EFFECT
PEMF therapy, or pulsed electromagnetic field therapy, has been shown to be beneficial for pain management and increasing pain tolerance. Studies have suggested that this is due to the anti-inflammatory properties of PEMF, as well as its influence on neuron communication and opioid receptors. PEMF therapy has become increasingly popular for those seeking relief from chronic and acute pain, and can be performed safely and conveniently at home. Regardless of the cause of your pain, PEMF therapy may be a simple and effective solution.
PEMF therapy is widely acknowledged to be beneficial to a range of pain types, such as disc herniation, lower back pain, fibromyalgia, arthritis, thermal pain, and post-operative pain. Two studies that focused on lower back pain sufferers found that not only did pain reduce, but performance and overall functionality improved, with an increase in range of motion for the participants [36][37].
Three further studies have tested the analgesic effects of PEMF therapy [38][39][40]. One of the studies showed that when PEMF was used, the pain threshold of participants increased significantly for thermal sensory pain, as measured by temperature tolerated [38]. Another study used an fMRI to measure pain responses in participants and showed that pulsed electromagnetic fields changed the response, as measured by changes in cerebral blood flow on the MRI [39]. If you're looking for an effective, non-invasive pain relief solution, then PEMF at home could be the answer.
PEMF therapy is an exciting and powerful way to reduce pain and anxiety levels, particularly for fibromyalgia and rheumatoid arthritis patients. A number of studies have demonstrated that pulsed electromagnetic field therapy, or PEMF, can be a powerful short-term pain relief solution. One study, looking at post-operative breast reduction patients, found that PEMF at home therapy led to a significant reduction in both pain levels and narcotics use [42]. These findings all conclude that PEMF therapy can be an effective way to alleviate pain and even accelerate the healing process.
ANTI-INFLAMMATORY EFFECTS
PEMF therapy has been used to reduce pain due to its anti-inflammatory properties. Studies have shown that when PEMF is used, pro-inflammatory biochemicals are decreased while anti-inflammatory biochemicals increase. For example, a study on breast reduction patients using PEMF therapy post-surgery found that their blood levels of IL-1β, a pro-inflammatory cytokine, were reduced, leading to less pain and accelerated wound repair. PEMF therapy is a popular choice for pain relief, and is even available for home use, so that you can reap the benefits of PEMF therapy from the comfort of your own home.
Not only is PEMF an increasingly popular form of at-home therapy that has been shown to help reduce inflammation but studies have observed the inhibitory effects of PEMF on the pro-inflammatory response in bone cells, decreasing levels of IL-6 and IL-8 cytokines [43]. PEMF is also able to increase the levels of anti-inflammatory cytokines in human tendon cells [44], providing further evidence of its efficacy in reducing inflammation and pain. With PEMF therapy, you can experience the benefits of this powerful, non-invasive pulsed electromagnetic field therapy in the comfort of your own home.
BRAIN HEALTH - NEURONAL REGENERATION
Pulsed Electromagnetic Fields (PEMF) have been shown to have incredible effects on human tissue, including the regeneration of neurons. Since the 1970s, it has been known that PEMF can consistently enhance the regeneration of nerve cells [3]. A 2003 study performed by NASA went even further, finding that PEMF can increase the growth of progenitor cells (stem cells for the brain) by 2.5x to 4x [46], making it a viable option for repairing damaged tissue and moderating some neurodegenerative diseases [47]. PEMF therapy is becoming increasingly popular and is even available for home use, making it easier than ever to experience the potential benefits of pulsed electromagnetic field therapy.
Two studies have observed the effects of pulsed electromagnetic fields (PEMF) on neurites in human cell lines, and both studies found that PEMF had a significant effect on neurite development and growth [48][49]. One of the studies observed increased neurite length, as well as increased neuron size, which they attributed as evidence of maturity of the neuron [48]. This is important because neurites are the connecting tissue of neurons, and the lengthening and branching of neurites is essential for brain development and forming new connections throughout life [48][50]. PEMF therapy has become increasingly popular for those looking to improve their brain health and cognitive performance, with many individuals now using PEMF at home as part of their daily routine [50].
PEMF therapy is a powerful tool for influencing the brain, neurons, and central nervous system. This is done through brain entrainment and current induction, created by the changing magnetic field generated by the PEMF. While the relationship between these two mechanisms has yet to be fully explored in the scientific community, some researchers suggest that the brain and central nervous system communicate both through electrical signals and its own electromagnetic field. Given the fact that electrical signals can create electromagnetic fields, and vice versa, it is likely that these two mechanisms are heavily interrelated. PEMF therapy is becoming increasingly popular for use at home, and it is a safe and effective way to take advantage of these connections.
ACCELERATED BONE GROWTH
PEMF therapy, also known as pulsed electromagnetic field therapy, has been known to significantly accelerate and improve the healing of bones, and has even been approved by the FDA for this purpose [3]. The primary mechanism for this is the stimulation of cells known as osteoblasts, which PEMF consistently increases the proliferation of. PEMF also releases anti-inflammatory cells, inhibits inflammatory biochemicals, and accelerates angiogenesis [4][5][35]. Angiogenesis is the formation of new blood vessels, and is critical in the wound healing and bone formation process. Countless studies have supported the results of PEMF of low frequency in the acceleration of bone healing [52], and PEMF has been found to be particularly useful in treating fractures which fail to unite, bone injuries with multiple surgical failures, infected non-unions and prosthetics, and even bone issues in infants. PEMF therapy at home is an effective and viable option for those who seek a non-invasive way to heal their bones.
