PEMF Therapy
Benefits of PEMF Therapy
PEMF therapy recharges the cells with the levels of magnetic waves that each cell needs thereby inducing microcurrents to stimulate the repair and regeneration of cells. There have been thousands of studies that have demonstrated the effectiveness of PEMF therapy in the healing of soft-tissue wounds, suppressing inflammatory responses within the cell membrane to alleviate pain and increase range in motion.
Other research has shown that PEMF therapy:
​
-
improves circulation and oxygenation of the blood and tissues,
-
reduces pain and inflammation.
-
stabilises blood pressure,
-
promotes cellular detoxification which aids in the uptake of nutrients and disposal of toxins
-
Improves Lymphatic system function of filtering and drainage - for the removal of toxins, excess fluids, diseased and damaged tissues
-
Improves the Central Nervous System function that communicates to your brain – all of the physical processes required by your body as well as the psychological function of your mind.
-
Stimulates endorphin and serotonin production aiding anxiety and depression.
-
Enhances the synthesis of protein to promote faster healing
-
Improves calcium transport to increase absorption in bones and cartilage
-
raises energy,
-
enhances sleep quality
Chronic pain
Chronic pain is becoming one of the world’s largest medical issues. The issue here is that pain is only the INDICATOR that there is an issue in the body (that may or may not be directly related to the specific area that pain is being felt). Treating pain is necessary to cope with carrying on with the daily functions of life – but is the issue causing the pain being dealt with?
The other interesting fact regarding pain, is that people learn to live with chronic pain. All pain starts as acute pain. The body has indicated that there is a condition that needs attention (acute). If the underlying condition is not fully dealt with – it manifests into chronic pain. The cells’ voltage has dropped because of the “condition”, and now working at reduced capacity trying to repair the underlying condition whilst also trying to keep up with the continual bodily functions required at every moment of time.

Inflammation
Inflammation is caused by a number of processes that are initiated by the body to repair cellular damage in tissues by increasing blood flow to the damages area. This process is supported by the interaction of a number of immune cell types including “T” cells, which play a major role in regulating the processing effects of inflammation. Inflammation can be initiated by many causes. Knowing the nature of the cause, then designing an appropriate therapeutic approach will have an effect on the outcome of the repair. For instance, inflammation caused by bacterial infections require the presence of T cells early in the inflammation process to kill bacteria in the white blood cells. Therefore, eliminating the T cells too early in the process will delay or stop the healing process. Conversely, for a trauma-induced injury T cells are less important to the healing process and may be harmful if present in the system for too long. Therefore, eliminating the T cells earlier in the healing process will accelerate tissue repair and minimise the unwanted effects such as pain. Studies have also shown that T cells can sustain the continued existence of chronic inflammatory diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis, tendinitis and psoriasis, therefore removing them earlier will decrease the associated symptoms.
PEMF therapy has been proven to reduce pain and inflammation because it stimulates the following functions within the body:-
-
Increases Endorphinproduction which is the body’s natural opiate relief
-
Increases microcirculation in the smallest of vessels and arteries in the body closest to the surface of the skin where pain is felt. Red blood cells are able to flow through quicker. They are required at the site of the pain as the little army that will reduce any oedema (swelling), fluid build-up, eliminate diseased and damaged tissue and repair any broken or fractured tendons, tissue, muscle, cartilage and bone if required.
-
Increases Oxygenation in the blood which is critical to the body’s complete functioning process to heal the body and maintain it in a state of health.
-
Recharges the cell membrane to increase the efficiency of the cells ability to absorb nutrients and remove toxins
-
Increases Nitric Oxide production which is needed to dilate the blood vessels and reduce the viscosity (stickiness) of the blood – in turn lowering blood pressure
PEMF enhances the quality of Sleep
The quality of your sleep directly affects so many other parts ofyour body’s natural functions and responses. Aside from pain relief, the most common improvement most PEMF users report is the improved quality of sleep. The body is able to do most of best healing and repair work whilst we are in a deep state of sleep or relaxation. The better quality of sleep we have also relates to how rejuvenated we feel when we wake up. Poor, agitated or interrupted sleep will leave us feeling groggy, tired, irritable and unfocused when we wake. Deep rejuvenating and uninterrupted sleep allows our brains to communicate larger amounts of functional “instructions” more efficiently to all the other parts of our bodies.
The Swiss Bionic iMRS devices automatically adjust the frequency settings to the theta-delta frequencies that stimulate the brain for deep sleep and relaxation (between 0.5 – 7.0 Hz). Research has shown that pulsating magnetic fields (especially within the Earth’s own geomagnetic frequency – also known as the Schumann Frequency), the production of both Melatonin and Human Growth Hormone (HGH) is significantly increased. Melatonin and HGH are two of the most important hormones required for sleep and anti-ageing. Melatonin is a powerful antioxidant that research has proven to protect the body from cancer. HGH is produced in the pituitary gland located deep inside the brain and has also been scientifically proven to be vitally important for longevity, healing and sleep.
Research: Impulse magnetic-field therapy for insomnia: a double-blind, placebo-controlled study – PubMed (nih.gov) R B Pelka 1, C Jaenicke, J Gruenwald
The link above is to a double blind study conducted by R B Pelka, 2001. The control group consisted on 101 people (50% in PEMF group/50% in placebo group) with various forms of insomnia. The results were:-
PEMF group
70% Substantial improvement in sleep quality and free of symptoms
24% Significant improvement in sleep quality
6% Slight improvement in sleep quality
Placebo group
2% Great improvement
49% Slight improvement
49% No improvement
Our bodies have a natural circadian or bio-rythym clock that controls the timing and function or all the major organs and processing functions of our body. Each cycle lasts approximately 2 hours for each organ or related function.
