PEMF therapy, which stands for Pulsed Electromagnetic Field Therapy, is a non-invasive treatment that utilizes low-frequency magnetic fields to stimulate the body’s natural healing process. PEMF devices emit a series of short, pulsed magnetic fields that penetrate the body’s tissues and cells. These magnetic fields interact with the body’s own magnetic field, which is generated by the movement of ions and electrons within the body.

The exact mechanism by which PEMF therapy works is still being studied, but it is believed to have several beneficial effects on cellular function.

One proposed mechanism is that PEMF therapy increases the production of adenosine triphosphate (ATP), the body’s primary energy currency.

This increased ATP production can lead to improved cellular function, reduced inflammation, and enhanced tissue regeneration.

PEMF therapy is generally considered safe when used as directed. However, there are a few potential risks and precautions to consider:

1. Implanted Medical Devices: People with implanted medical devices, such as pacemakers or defibrillators, should consult with their doctor before undergoing PEMF therapy.
2. Pregnancy: Pregnant women should also consult with their doctor before undergoing PEMF therapy, as the effects on fetal development are not fully understood.
3. Pre-existing Medical Conditions: Individuals with certain medical conditions, such as cancer or epilepsy, should also consult with their doctor before starting PEMF therapy.

Otherwise, follow these two guidelines if you are a first-time user:

1. Start with low intensity: It is important to start with low-intensity and short-duration sessions and gradually increase the intensity and duration as your body adapts.
2. Stop if you feel it is too intense: If you experience dizziness, headache, or nausea, stop using the PEMF device.

The recommended frequency of PEMF therapy sessions depends on the individual’s condition and needs.

Some people may benefit from daily sessions, while others may only need to use the device a few times per week.

It is always best to start with shorter sessions and gradually increase the duration as your body adapts.

The cost of PEMF therapy can vary depending on the type of device, the frequency of sessions, and the provider.

PEMF therapy sessions in typically cost between $100 and $200 per 30 minute session.
