As with each of the technologies we offer, we make sure to heavily research the benefits. This allows us to screen out the best technologies for our customers as well as provide us with the expertise needed to best assist when needed.
We are heavily research based and know our technologies inside and out. Please feel free to contact us if you have any questions.
Our research process is simple:
- What is the technology and how it is applied?
- What is the mechanism of action? (What does it do to the body?)
- What are each of the benefits and research behind each?
See below the more than 50 studies we reviewed when writing this blog series on PEMF therapy. Studies were carefully selected, as always, to be entirely relevant.
