How can PEMF therapy help?
PEMF therapy energizes and normalizes cells, creating the perfect environment for the body’s natural healing to take place. Oxygen in the blood can increase by as much as 200%, improving cell metabolism and decreasing inflammation. Your body makes better use of nutrients and recovers faster from training. Academic and clinical studies of PEMF therapy have found that PEMF accelerates bone healing, is beneficial for wound healing, increases bone density, and assists with overall health and wellbeing. PEMF therapy is painless and non-invasive. It can help with pain management, allowing users to avoid or reduce their use of pain medications. These results explain why PEMF therapy is widely used. PEMF therapy is also used to help with post-surgical recovery and in other health care situations. Clinical and academic research has demonstrated that PEMF therapy can reduce swelling and inflammation. PEMF therapy is FDA approved for a number of different treatments, particularly for musculoskeletal issues. As a general rule, any problems with soreness, stiffness, pain, and swelling can respond to PEMF therapy.
What to expect?
PEMF users will often feel relaxed in a PEMF session. Electromagnetic pulses reach deep into the tissues and bones, stimulating and energizing on a cellular level. The animal may experience a sense of “twitching” in areas where they have pain or inflammation. Once the treatment is complete, owners report their animals feeling better and can immediately return to work or competition. There is no recovery time required. PEMF therapy starts a process that continues in the body after the therapy ends. Treatments once or twice a week are usually sufficient and work long after the treatment ends.

How does PEMF technology work?
How does PEMF technology work?
PEMF (Pulsed Electromagnetic Field) technology sends a safe electromagnetic pulse through the body. All of us – and our horses, livestock, and pets – have spent our entire lives in the earth’s natural magnetic field. This magnetic field, created by the movement of the earth’s core, protects our planet from solar winds which could devastate our world without this protection. The earth’s magnetic field is good for our bodies. But things have changed in our world. Instead of having our bare feet in constant contact with the earth, we walk inside buildings in shoes, sit still much of the time, and generally live in less natural surroundings. It’s hard for us to get all the benefits of the earth’s natural magnetic field. PEMF therapy recreates that natural magnetic energy. The pulse from PEMF devices passes through the body safely and painlessly, stimulating cells and tissues in the body. This improves circulation, normalizes chemicals in the cells, and encourages the body’s natural healing processes. PEMF therapy is a non-invasive, drug-free approach to improving the natural functioning of the body.
Evidence
Evidence
There is a large body of research on PEMF. Some examples:
An article in the Aesthetic Surgery Journal reports that “PEMF therapy has been used successfully in the management of postsurgical pain and edema [and] the treatment of chronic wounds.”
An article in the Journal of Inflammatory Research says that “Pulsed electromagnetic field (PEMF) therapy is increasingly used to treat pain and edema associated with inflammation following surgery involving soft tissue.” This article focuses on the specific physical changes leading to reduction of pain and swelling.
Neck and Arm Pain Syndromes explained that “pulsed electromagnetic field therapy resulted in improvement compared to placebo with regard to pain in patients with calcific tendinopathy.”
An article in Orthopedics concluded that “Given the costs and potential dangers of surgery, PEMF should be considered an effective alternative. Experience supports its role as a successful method of treatment for ununited fractures of the tibia.”
Meanwhile, PEMF therapy has been used globally for over a century.
Science Direct reports that both NASA and Soviet space programs have used PEMF therapy to improve astronaut health.
PEMF therapy is used extensively by professional athletes, Olympic athletes, and college athletes to encourage peak performance.
PEMF therapy has been widely used in Europe for decades. Equine use in the United States has been widespread, and human use is increasing.
PEMF therapy helps the body repair damaged tissue, reduces swelling and pain, and improves circulation and absorption of nutrients. It combats stress and supports the body’s immune system. For athletes – both human and horses – the benefit is significant. Recovery is faster and more complete, so performance is improved. When healing is needed, the stimulation of the cells speeds the natural healing process.
Magnetic field therapy is recognized by the FDA to aid in these areas:

Frequently Asked PEMF Questions
Frequently Asked PEMF Questions
Q: What does PEMF stand for?
A: Pulsed Electro-Magnetic Field
Q: What is PEMF?
A: PEMF Technology produces a safe, electromagnetic pulse which mimics the earth’s own magnetic field, energizes the cells of the body, and stimulates the body’s own natural healing process. Extensive research has demonstrated that non-invasive, painless, and drug-free PEMF therapy can lead to reduced inflammation, pain relief, accelerated healing, and many other widespread and life-changing health benefits. Based on NASA research, extensive medical research, and with well over a million daily users, this revolutionary health technology is supported by scientists and a growing number of medical practitioners worldwide.
Perhaps the easiest way to understand PEMF is to think in terms of each cell in your body as if it were a little battery. Like any battery, sometimes your cells become tired and worn, whether due to age, stress, overuse, or damage, making it more difficult for them to fight off any potentially damaging force or illness. Through PEMF therapy, your batteries (i.e. your cells) essentially become recharged. The energy supplied via PEMF waves gives them the energy they need to ward off whatever is threatening them, whether it’s a trauma or disease based threat. This makes it easier for the body to restore its health naturally, simply by using the electrical currents and impulses that are already interacting within and throughout their cells. PEMF is like a “battery re-charger” for your depleted cells.
Q: Who can use a PEMF session?
A: Everyone can use PEMF therapy from the very young to the elderly, from sedentary individuals to those that exercise daily. Essentially, anyone at any age group, any level of wellness or fitness including both humans and animals (of all species), can benefit from using this technology while experiencing no negative side effects.
Q: Are there any contraindications?
A:
1. A contraindication for the use of a PEMF device is placing an active applicator over implanted electrical devices like pacemakers, cochlear implants, intrathecal pumps, ect. Because the magnetic field can shut the device off or otherwise interfere with its function.
2. Equi-Tek warns against the use of PEMF therapy on pregnant humans and animals.
3. Those who have seizures or that are active bleeders should consult their physician for advice.
Q: What will I experience during a PEMF session?
A: Since everyone is unique and has different physical problems or conditions, each will experience something different. There are numerous types of therapeutic and intensity settings on the devices, allowing the individual to increase or decrease the effects. Thus, one can experience many different sensations. Frequently, users will state that they feel a tingling in an area of an old injury, while others say they feel a sense of wellness and relaxation. Check it out for yourself and see what you experience!
Q: Do I have to undress for the treatment?
A: NO….All treatments are administered being fully dressed.
Q: Will I feel any pain during the treatment?
A: NO. The magnetic-pulses can be adjusted to the individual, there is no pain, however you will feel the pulsing of the magnetic current during treatment.
Q: What is a PEMF Session like?
A: A PEMF session will essentially feel relaxing. Most simply go to a restful, meditative state or fall asleep. Afterwards they arise from the therapeutic experience feeling rested, peaceful and energized…minus some aches and pains.
Q: How often can I use PEMF therapy?
A: You can use PEMF therapy as often as you choose. Whether you use it once a day or once a week. PEMF treatment is a safe, easy to use and effective treatment with no negative side effects. Using PEMF from 5 – 30 minutes per day offers long lasting, significant relief not only throughout the day but throughout the weeks and months, as it mobilizes the body’s healing resources.
Q: How long has PEMF therapy been FDA approved?
A: The first high-power PEMF therapy devices appeared on the market in the 1970s. In the US, the FDA has approved the use of PEMF therapy for treating nonunion bone fractures (in 1979), muscle stimulation and urinary incontinence (in 1998), and anxiety and depression (in 2006).
Q: How do you get the most out of a PEMF treatment?
A: To maximize the effectiveness, it is recommended that you drink a glass of water prior to treatment to ensure they are properly hydrated since dehydration can hinder the circulation of oxygen, nutrients and hormones and prevent them from being transferred successfully to tissues and cells throughout the body.
