Magnetic fields have been used for therapeutic purposes since ancient times. Chinese and Greek cultures have known the benefits of magnetic fields. In the nineteenth century, Nikola Tesla created the Tesla Coil, an electromagnetic device that was placed on patients and produced immediate pain relief. In Japan and Russia, clinical studies using electromagnetic fields were conducted. More than 30,000 research studies have now been conducted, proving the benefits of pulsating electromagnetic fields. Whether or not these findings are true remains to be seen.
Pain relief
Researchers have studied the benefits of PEMF Therapy for pain relief in a variety of medical disciplines. The most commonly reported benefits involve the reduction of pain. The PEMFs can be extremely helpful for people with various kinds of pain, especially those associated with musculoskeletal and rheumatic diseases. The best results have been seen when PEMFs are used in conjunction with other therapeutic techniques. A small amount of the therapy can be used to relieve pain in both acute and chronic conditions.
The PEMF therapy works by interfering with the signal that triggers pain by generating micro-currents through the neural pathways. This disrupts the nerve signals that produce pain and reduces the amount of signal required to create pain. As a result, pain perception is reduced and a person’s level of happiness is raised. PEMF therapy also increases happiness hormones in the body, thereby decreasing the pain response and increasing the threshold.
Improved mental wellbeing
Many people suffer from anxiety and depression. While this condition can have a direct effect on your daily life, it can also lead to significant physical symptoms. Depression and anxiety can affect every aspect of your life, from sleep to digestion. However, there is a way to combat these symptoms without using medication or psychotherapy. PEMF therapy is one such option. It can be applied through pillows or pads that provide the benefits of transcranial magnetic stimulation. PEMF therapy works by improving circulation, balancing neuro-chemical imbalances and reducing stress. PEMF therapy helps to balance hormones that cause mood and emotions, including serotonin and dopamine.
One study found that low intensity PEMFs (0.1-1.5 mT; 1-20 G) can affect the 5-Hydroxytryptamine (5HT) receptors in the brain. Even at this low intensity, there was a 50% effect. These findings suggest that low intensity PEMF therapy may help treat mood disorders, especially depression, since the 5HT system is involved in the symptoms of many of these conditions. However, a higher intensity treatment may have more significant effects on patients suffering from depression.
Reduced analgesia in mice
One of the most promising benefits of PEMF is reduced analgesia. In mice, PEMF reduces pain and inflammation. It also affects levels of inflammatory cytokines and prostaglandins. The research also suggests that PEMF therapy may reduce narcotic pain medication. Moreover, the study also reveals that PEMF therapy can promote locomotor recovery after SCI.
The present study shows that PEMF therapy improves pain thresholds and physical functioning in patients with knee osteoarthritis (OA). This effect is due to increased pain threshold and improved physical function. It should be noted that larger studies are needed to compare the benefits of PEMF therapy with those of standard pharmacological treatments. Further studies should also be conducted to compare the effects of PEMF therapy against standard treatments for OA.
No known negative side effects
Although the risks and side effects of PEMF therapies are unknown, it is safe to use in patients with chronic inflammatory conditions. Studies have shown that low-frequency PEMF’s can induce T lymphocytes to die at the appropriate time, reducing chronic inflammation. In addition, the treatment does not adversely affect the cells that produce normal homeostatic substances. PEMF therapy is therefore considered a viable cellular therapy.
Despite this promising news, researchers have yet to verify the benefits of PEMF therapies. However, their research suggests that these therapies can improve existing cancer treatments. Unfortunately, there is a lot of uncertainty surrounding conventional cancer treatments, and it can cause patients to be cautious about using them. While conventional treatments are still controversial and often ineffective, there are no known negative side effects of PEMF therapy. Therefore, it is important to avoid invasive treatments and focus on less harmful treatments.
Easy to use
Compared to professional PEMF devices, home-use PEMF systems are much easier to use. These devices require no medical supervision and allow patients to work around their schedules. Moreover, they can be portable, unlike full-body mats. When choosing the right PEMF therapy device, consider the reason you want to use one at home. Also, find out if your doctor supports home-use PEMF. You should also consult a healthcare professional before starting any type of treatment.
PEMF is a therapy that uses repeating electromagnetic pulses to influence the energy within damaged cells. This treatment helps the body’s natural magnetic field by influencing cellular metabolism and improving the removal of toxins from cells. Another benefit of PEMF therapy is that it’s safe to use. You can use it on your own at home if you’re not physically active, and it’s effective at relieving aches and pains.
