PEMF therapy, or pulsed magnetic field therapy, is an alternative health approach that has become increasingly popular in recent years. This form of treatment uses magnetic weak current to activate the body's own electrical system and help the body heal itself. In this article, we'll take a closer look at what PEMF therapy is, how it works and how it can help you tackle various health challenges. Whether you have chronic pain, sleep problems or want to improve your overall health and wellbeing, PEMF therapy can be an effective and safe treatment method.
What is PEMF therapy?
PEMF therapy (Pulsed Electromagnetic Fields) is a type of treatment that uses pulsed magnetic fields to stimulate the cells in the body. The treatment has been used for decades and has become increasingly popular due to its effectiveness and simplicity of use. PEMF therapy can be used alone or as a complement to other therapies such as chiropractic and neurological rehabilitation.
How does PEMF therapy work?
PEMF therapy can be considered wave therapy, and works by sending electromagnetic pulses through the body's tissues and cells. These pulses are tuned to the earth's natural frequencies and help restore balance and function to the cells. When cells are exposed to these pulses, their electrical potential increases, which can lead to the repair and regeneration of damaged tissue. PEMF therapy can also help activate the body's natural healing processes and increase the production of endorphins, which are the body's natural painkillers. The treatment is painless.
PEMF therapy affects the body's cells by giving them the extra energy they need to resist potentially harmful influences or diseases. As with any battery, the cells sometimes become discharged or 'tired', whether due to age, stress, overuse or injury. Through PEMF therapy, the batteries (i.e. the cells) are recharged using energy delivered via PEMF devices. This energy activates the body's own natural electrical system, revitalizing and balancing imbalanced or impaired function, and contributing to the healing of the body by stimulating the body's regeneration process.
What health issues can PEMF therapy help with?
PEMF therapy can help with a variety of health issues, including:
- Pain relief: PEMF therapy can help relieve chronic and acute pain by reducing inflammation, improving circulation and promoting tissue regeneration.
- Improved sleep: PEMF therapy has been shown to promote better sleep quality, reduce insomnia and improve overall sleep patterns.
- Muscle spasms
- Help improve cognitive function
- Stress reduction: PEMF therapy can help reduce stress and anxiety by promoting relaxation and a sense of wellbeing.
- Increased energy and vitality: Can help boost energy levels, improve stamina and increase overall vitality.
- Improved immune function: PEMF therapy can help strengthen the immune system and improve the body's ability to fight infections and diseases.
- PEMF therapy has also been shown to be effective for rehabilitation after injury or surgery, as well as for improving sports performance and reducing recovery time after exercise.
NASA's research on PEMF therapy shows that this therapy has far-reaching positive effects on our genetics and gene expression by changing the cell's environment. You could say that PEMF recharges the cells' battery. This also applies to extended lifespan. PEMF therapy reverses the cellular aging process by assisting in the regulation of up to 175 genes, as well as up-regulating/stimulating over 100 growth-activating genes. Scientific research has shown that PEMF also has a positive effect on ligament, bone and cartilage, blood and muscle tissue.
Is PEMF therapy safe?
PEMF therapy is considered a safe treatment method and has little or no side effects. However, it is important to discuss any health conditions or medications with your healthcare professional before starting treatment. It is also important to choose a professional and experienced therapist or clinic to ensure proper use of the devices and optimal effect of the treatment. If you have any of these conditions, you should avoid PEMF therapy:
- Pregnancy
- Tuberculosis
- Juvenile diabetes
- Acute viral diseases
- Mycosis
- Cardiopathy
- Tumors
- Severe arrhythmias
- People with a pacemaker
- Child
- People with magnetizable prostheses
- Acute infections
- Epilepsy
Kvantumklinikken offers PEMF therapy as a treatment option, but it is also used as a complementary treatment together with neurological rehabilitation, chiropractic and massage. We have a type that covers the entire body, as well as a smaller mat that is placed on a specific area that needs treatment. The treatment lasts 20 minutes.
