Modern Cryo & Wellness is excited to offer cutting-edge therapy options to Midlothian and the surrounding north Texas community, like one of our newest additions: PEMF Therapy. Let’s take a closer look at this innovative option and the potential benefits it may offer:
PEMF Therapy, short for Pulsed Electro-Magnetic Field, utilizes carefully controlled bursts of magnetic fields created by an electromagnet, targeting specific areas on the body with the aim of supporting physical recovery. The scientific evidence for PEMF Therapy is well documented, Dating all the way back to the 1800’s. PEMF Therapy is a powerful tool in wellness support, delivering:
“. . . measurable wellness and healing down to the cellular level in every tissue, bone and organ of the body.” (Pierce M. Incorporating Energy Medicine in Your Chiropractic Practice Through Pulsed Electromagnetic (PEMF) Therapy. American Chiropractor, Jun2012; 34(6): 52-54. (3p))
Because PEMF Therapy is unique in its ability to penetrate deeply into tissue in a non-invasive way, it presents as a powerful ally in the world of wellness support.
“When the energy fields pass seamlessly into the cells of the area, the cells absorb that energy. In this way, the electromagnetic fields exercise and energize those cells. PEMF practitioners can direct electromagnetic fields towards ‘spot’ areas of a patient’s body that have injuries or other damage, or they can provide ‘broad’ area treatment to improve self-reported psychometric measures of sleep, mood, and quality of life (life satisfaction) without adverse effects. That’s why PEMF sessions are often called ‘cellular exercise’ and are popular among biohackers.” – Tucker J. Pulsed Electromagnetic Field Therapy: Biohacking Part III. American Chiropractor, (2019, November 11), 41, 44-45.
The effects of PEMF Therapy on the body have been well studied, highlighting how it might benefit those in search of wellness support. As noted in the National Library of Medicine:
“. . . subjects experienced significantly less fatigue during the four weeks they wore the active [PEMF] device than they did while wearing the placebo device.” – Lappin MS, Lawrie FW, Richards TL, Kramer ED. Effects of a pulsed electromagnetic therapy on multiple sclerosis fatigue and quality of life: a double-blind, placebo controlled trial. Altern Ther Health Med. 2003;9(4):38-48.
PEMF Therapy has also been shown to have effects on bone health, mineralization, and even aiding in recovery with implants.
PEMF Therapy is a painless, non-invasive therapy option, needing little-to-no recovery time, using only Electromagnetic waves to penetrate deeply and deliver support at the cellular level.
“One of the early observed and remarkable features of the high frequency currents, and one which was chiefly of interest to the physician, was their apparent harmlessness which made it possible to pass relatively great amounts of electrical energy through the body of a person without causing pain or serious discomfort.” – Tesla N (1999) High frequency oscillators for electro-therapeutic and other purposes. Proceedings of the IEEE 87:1282. doi: 10.1109/jproc.1999.771079
Wellness-minded consumers utilize PEMF Therapy for a wide range of reasons, from athletic recovery to osteoarthritis-related pain, among others. According to a study conducted to investigate the efficacy of PEMF for management of knee osteoarthritis in elderly patients:
“A two sample […] test, comparing change in knee-related VAS pain for PEMF treated leg vs control leg, showed a significant difference in favor of PEMF therapy.” – Tommaso Iannitti, Gregorio Fistetto, Anna Esposito, Valentina Rottigni, Beniamino Palmieri (click here to read study)
Supporting Athletic Performance is another area where consumers are finding PEMF Therapy to be helpful. The International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health published a study where athletes were observed to determine if PEMF supported elevated performance, finding:
“Results indicate some evidence for the use of PEMF therapy during short-term training camps to improve VT [Ventilatory Threshold].” – Nauris Tamulevicius, Tanuj Wadhi, Guillermo R. Oviedo, Ashmeet S. Anand, Jung-Jung Tien, Fraser Houston, and Eric Vlahov (click here to read study)
