Pulsed Electromagnetic Field Therapy Health Benefits

PEMF is an acronym for Pulsed Electromagnetic Field. PEMF therapy consists of a mat that emits pulses of energy waves. This energy courses through the body directly to inflamed or injured areas. The energy is also drawn to areas experiencing chronic pain. The energy waves of the PEMF mat pass through the organs and tissues and into your body's cells, amplifying the cellular energy. The increase in energy promotes a natural reaction that regenerates and enhances the efficiency of the cell's function. This natural process stimulates healing and helps to improve your overall well-being, including your mood. I couldn't wait to have a PEMF mat at the office!

Patients usually don't feel anything as energy goes into the body. The energy is that subtle to not disturb the body's natural process as it goes into the cells. Besides giving cells energy, it also helps Increase blood flow, which is also part of the healing. Increased blood flow It promotes an increase in the blood's oxygen levels. This causes the body to have more oxygen, which is how chronic pain and stiffness are reduced. If you have a frozen shoulder or any other stiff joints, PEMF helps with range of motion.

Healthy Blood Circulation

Healthy blood circulation in your system not only promotes thorough oxygenation of the blood vessels, causing less inflammation and pain, but it also helps cleanse out toxic waste through the lymphatic drainage system. In this way, PEMF therapy also promotes lymphatic health and detox. In fact, there is a setting just for this type of detox. 

Improved Sleep

PEMF therapy also helps you sleep better. A good night's sleep allows your body the chance to recover from pain, rejuvenate, and regain lost energy. However, not everyone gets a good night's sleep, which, in turn, robs them of the opportunity to recover and heal. The body only heals when it is sleeping. PEMF therapy tunes the frequency of the brain cells and transforms it into a pattern that calms the brain, regulates circadian rhythms, and enhances sleep. PEMF therapy also makes the Pineal gland release more melatonin in darkness, a vital hormone enhancing sleep quality.

Boosts Immune System

PEMF therapy also helps boost the immune system. Many factors help our bodies build and maintain a strong immune system; eating well-balanced meals, exercising, and keeping our stress levels low, to name a few, are within our daily control.

I don't want to get too technical, but I want you to understand more that both interleukin-1 and interleukin-6 increase with PEMF therapy. The result is that a larger number of intruders can be destroyed by white blood cells called macrophages, resulting in a stronger immune system. 

Interleukin 1 and 6 also increase the activity of bone and cartilage cells. Since PEMF therapy helps stimulate them, PEMF therapy has been shown to help with bone growth, which you would want if you had osteopenia, osteoporosis, a fracture to heal, or even arthritis—rheumatoid arthritis, osteoarthritis, degenerative arthritis, etc. 

Reduces Stress

Keeping our stress levels low, i.e., a calm autonomic nervous system, greatly benefits the immune system, and PEMF treatments do just that. The electromagnetic waves have a calming effect on the autonomic nervous system and supply more blood flow and, thus, more oxygen to the whole body. For this reason, I feel like the more calm we are during a PEMF therapy session, the more electromagnetic energy our body can absorb and use. So try meditating during the session for the greatest benefit, and if you don't meditate, just take deep breaths and try to relax as much as you can. 

Improves Chronic Fatigue

Chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS) is a serious and complicated disorder characterized by extreme fatigue that lasts for at least six months and can be helped with PEMF. There are many reasons for CFS, and it is usually caused by a combination of factors, including viral infections, hormonal imbalances, physical or emotional trauma, immune system problems, etc.

In people with CFS, the cells in the body have difficulty producing enough energy. For these patients, the symptoms of CFS may worsen after even minor physical, mental, or emotional exertion. PEMF therapy can help cells increase their energy by up to 500% through the increased motion of ions and electrolytes. PEMF therapy is known as a safe and natural way to literally recharge your body and improve the symptoms of CFS. Symptoms include trouble sleeping and joint and muscle pain that people with CFS usually have. Both of those symptoms PEMF has been proven to help with.

By no means do I have CFS, but the other day, I did a PEMF treatment and put on the mode for energy, and I swear to you, I walked away feeling like I had just been on vacation. I felt like a million bucks, and thank God, because, with COVID, I haven't gone on vacation in a year and a half. That's what an increase of up to 500% felt like to me. 

About half of people with CFS develop depression, stress, and anxiety at some point. Some drugs used to treat depression have other effects that might worsen some other CFS symptoms. PEMF therapy is a drug-free and safe method to help depression and mental wellness. It has been shown to have a dramatic effect on anxiety and depression in both chronic and acute forms.

Depression and Anxiety

In 2006, the FDA approved the use of PEMF therapy for the treatment of depression and anxiety. PEMF therapy can also help with the insomnia that usually comes with anxiety. Insomnia, depression, and mood disorders have been related to abnormal serotonin levels. At the same time, PEMF therapy works well on altering serotonin by exciting the neurons to dispense their own natural chemicals to help balance out deficiencies and restore normal brain function. Also, it can work on the areas of your brain that control mood by affecting the electrical activity of neurons to change the neuronal networks.

Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder

PEMF has even been shown to help many post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) sufferers with their depression. PEMF therapy can deliver repetitive magnetic pulses that stimulate various nerve cells, controlling depression and reducing re-experiencing symptoms. Many with PTSD often lack sound, restorative sleep because of the traumatic events they have encountered. Low-frequency PEMF devices can make them feel relaxed in the evening and help them fall and stay asleep. PEMF therapy also positively calms the brain and regulates circadian rhythms, which play an important role in controlling sleep patterns and cycles.

Tinnitus

Tinnitus is a common problem that affects many. It is usually described as a noise or ringing in the ear. Tinnitus is a symptom of an underlying condition, such as age-related hearing loss, ear injury, heavy metal toxicity, or a lack of circulation to the ear.

Tinnitus can significantly affect the quality of life. The sound can sometimes interfere with concentration, sleep, and even mental health. Tinnitus usually isn't a sign of something serious, but it is bothersome and may worsen with age. Fortunately, PEMF therapy has been proven to be a safe and non-invasive way to help people with tinnitus by helping cells increase their energy and opening up the cell membrane to let nutrients enter the cells easily and quickly.

By recharging cells and boosting nutrient absorption, PEMF therapy can stimulate the healing process of damaged cells and tissues in the ears. PEMF therapy can help treat the complications of tinnitus, including fatigue, stress, sleep problems, trouble concentrating, memory problems, depression, anxiety, irritability, etc. Treating these linked conditions may not affect tinnitus directly, but it can help you feel better and improve your quality of life.

Lyme Disease

PEMF can also help Lyme disease patients. Lyme disease is a bacterial infection primarily transmitted by ticks. It can affect the brain, muscles and joints, lungs, heart, and intestinal tract.

PEMF therapy can help reduce inflammation, improve circulation, reduce pain, and, in general, improve the therapeutic effect of other treatments. PEMF therapy can be a wonderful complementary therapy to your current treatment plan by boosting the immune system and stimulating the healing process. Lyme disease in the brain is especially challenging to treat. Many medical treatments and nutritional approaches can not access the hidden Lyme bacteria in brain tissue due to not being able to get through the blood-brain barrier. PEMF therapy has been shown to increase the diffuse-ability of the blood-brain barrier, allowing better access to treatments, supplements, herbs, and nutrients in the brain.

Fibromyalgia

It's amazing what I have seen it do for my fibromyalgia patients. If you suffer from Fibromyalgia, know that there is hope. I have seen PEMF therapy give absolute relief from Fibromyalgia and its symptoms. Some of you might not know what Fibromyalgia is. It is characterized by extreme musculoskeletal pain coupled with memory loss, lethargy, fatigue, and an imbalanced sleep cycle. In addition to that, Fibromyalgia also amplifies how our brain receives pain signals, thereby intensifying pain sensation.

This phenomenon leads to almost unbearable physical discomfort that eventually takes a toll on mental and physical health. Loss of productivity, lack of memory retention, decreased concentration, lack of sleep, and loss of motivation to carry out the simplest of daily tasks are all by-products of Fibromyalgia. The reasons for the onset of Fibromyalgia are varied. It can stem from stress, surgical after-effects, or any mental or physical trauma. There are plenty of drugs and invasive surgeries to address the pain and reduce its intensity, but PEMF works remarkably well. So I knew if it could help with Fibromyalgia, it could help with other pain as well.
