Wellness Within Chiropractic recently moved to a new office and expanded their service to meet the growing demand for drug-free non-invasive pain management treatments through PEMF (Pulsed Electromagnetic Field Therapy). PEMF works with your body’s natural ability to heal and is completely safe. A treatment before your chiropractic appointment helps loosens you up and enables Dr. Hewitt and Dr. Prior to achieve more with the adjustment whereas a post-adjustment PEMF treatment helps to hold the adjustment in place longer. Since introducing this technology to our practice, our patients have been amazed by the benefits in treating acute pain or symptoms from injury or surgery, or chronic conditions such as arthritis. If you’re suffering from injuries, chronic pain, or simply looking to improve your energy levels, then you may want to consider trying PEMF therapy.

What is Pulsed Electro Magnetic Field Therapy?

Backed by NASA, validated by science, and approved by the FDA as one of the strongest bone stimulators available, PEMF is a unique tool that uses electromagnetic fields to energize cells and reduce pain and dysfunction. This therapy is relatively new in the United States, but it’s been used in Europe and other countries for decades. At first, it was more common to see PEMF used to treat race horses than to help humans. Horses that received pulsed electromagnetic field therapy showed improvements in things like jump height and endurance. However, as science has continued to explore the effects of pulsed electromagnetic field stimulation it has become an increasingly popular tool for improved health and healing in humans as well.

How Does PEMF Therapy Work?

Healthy cells have both positive and negative charges in their membranes. The cells use these charges to move nutrients and waste, which keeps them healthy. When the cells lose charge due to illness or injury, they lose their ability to take in the nutrients and get rid of the waste. Cells with low charge can lead to pain, fatigue, and inflammation. PEMF therapy renews these cells by harnessing the power of electromagnetic energy. The therapy uses a PEMF device that releases electromagnetic waves, directing the electromagnetic fields towards the targeted area. These energy fields enter the cells of an injured or damaged area, where they are then able to absorb the energy and recharge. This energy absorption is like an exercise for the cells, which lends PEMF therapy the nickname of “cellular exercise.” Once the cells are energized, cellular activity can increase and cells can begin sorting wastes and nutrients more efficiently. To learn more about the science, there are over 1000 per-reviewed abstracts on pulsed electromagnetic field therapy at www.pubmed.gov (search for PEMF).

What are the Benefits of PEMF Therapy?

The primary benefits of PEMF are:

· Improve mobility, range of motion, and flexibility

· Reduce pain, swelling, and inflammation

· Improve mood and alleviate stress, anxiety, & depression

· Boosts development of immune system cells and promotes healthy cell function

· Accelerate the healing process

This promising technology is just one of the holistic services Wellness Within Chiropractic offers their clients to help you achieve a pain-free, healthy lifestyle. Talk to us today about whether PEMF is the right therapy for you.
