What is PEMF Therapy?

PEMF stands for Pulsed Electromagnetic Field. It works by providing pulsing electromagnetic fields to jumpstart and accelerate normal biological cellular reactions. There are no side effects and many times PEMF can be used in place of pharmaceuticals to treat long-term, degenerative conditions.

“Very simply, cells contain electrically charged particles called ions that govern all cellular processes. When the body is stressed by illness, competition, environmental factors or age, the cellular membrane that conducts the essential ions in to and out of the cell becomes comprised and is unable to efficiently do its job of managing the transport of these ions. When PEMF penetrates the body, a magnetic field in motion is created that immediately impacts these ions and membrane potential to stimulate them into action. The result is an increase in cellular communication and circulation, a decrease in inflammation and pain and a resulting acceleration of healing.” -source: Respond Systems

What Conditions Can PEMF Treat?

  • Arthritis

  • Tendon and Ligament Tears

Can also be used as a preventative for sport dogs.

What to Expect in a Treatment Session?

PEMF has the ability to pass through fur, skin, bandages, and bone. The dog simply has to lie on the PEMF bed and the PEMF penetrates deep into the joints and muscles. PEMF treatments are great for dogs who do not want to be touched since they simply have to lie on the bed! Most treatments last either 30 or 60 minutes depending on the condition being treated.
