The Science Behind PEMF

Below are some of the many benefits your pet will receive from their PEMF treatments.

Cellular Benefits of PEMF:

  • Improves intercellular fluid and blood flow
  • Stimulates production of ATP
  • Increases cellular energy levels
  • Increases cellular oxygen levels
  • Promotes cellular healing
  • Stimulates inter cellular communication
  • Stimulates electron transport in cells

Biological Benefits of PEMF

  • Significant pain relief
  • Accelerates tissue repair
  • Accelerates cell growth
  • Promotes faster healing of injuries
  • Reduces fibrous tissue formation
  • Reduces swelling and inflammation
  • Stimulates production of endorphins

PEMF accomplishes these benefits through pulsed electromagnetic stimulation. Along with healthy food, water, and intake of oxygen, living things also must have energy.

PEMF helps living things make Nitric Oxide. This is a key molecule which stimulates cells to become dilated, enhancing blood flow and oxygen delivery; it also helps the cell’s ability to clean things out creating detox within the cell structure. For example, Nitric Oxide has been shown to reduce cancer cells by increasing oxygen intake around the cells, thus defending the host against tumors.

PEMF helps kill off infectious agents such as bacteria, fungi, and parasites.

PEMF also helps with vasodilation inside the smooth muscle. It communicates with the smooth muscle causing it to expand and thereby helping blood flow.

PEMF is a rapid and aggressive treatment which changes things quickly by changing the cell structure.

How PEMF Reduces Pain:

A PEMF device (that uses pulsed electromagnetic frequency technology) functions as an external generating source that provides the magnetic field needed for the expansion and contraction of cells. This enables the cells to circulate nutrients better, to move blood-oxygen through cells, and helps cells to detoxify. Additionally, the Magnetic Field might help the cells to re-charge themselves.

Concerning chronic pain reduction, PEMF can be used as an electrotherapeutic. It helps to improve blood circulation, not by increasing blood pressure or heartbeat, but by optimizing energy of the very cells in the capillaries and arteries. Improved circulation also alleviates pain by reducing edema (swelling), regenerating diseased and damaged tissue, and repairing fractured and torn bones and tendons. The body’s natural magnetic field is formed through the transmission of electric impulses through cell membrane and the flow of electrically charged ions in and out of cells.

Only a pulsed electromagnetic field force (generated by a PEMF device) and not static magnets can produce electrical variations on a cellular level in the body for cell metabolism to be influenced. Additionally, static magnets only generate continuous low levels of magnetic induction. PEMF delivers an extremely high intensity, short duration electromagnetic pulse combined with several frequencies. This results in a magnetic field that penetrates completely through muscles and joints in as little as 2 to 20 minutes, and consequently alleviates pain faster and has long-term benefit.

Blood and Lymph bring oxygen and nutrients to cells and remove waste and detoxify cells. PEMF stimulates flow and therefore causes more efficient cell function and healing to occur.

Inflammation is caused by injury, damage, poor circulation and edema. All damaged cells are dysfunctional and have lower TMP (Trans-Membrane Pressure). This increases inflammatory markers and pain nerve signals. Cell function and normal operation is shut down and cells communication is inhibited which decreases healing.  PEMF recharges and raises the TMP which stops the release of damaging signals, increases blood flow and oxygen and restores the TMP and cell function.

Damaged cells have 80% lower TMP, than healthy cells. This greatly reduces cellular metabolism and ATP production. When TMP is reduced, free radical production is increased which further decreases ATP interfering with mitochondrial function. PEMF increases electron circulation across membranes accelerating ATP synthesis. ATP is used in cellular channels and pumps to restore TMP.

  • Lowers blood viscosity and improves circulation
  • Improves lymph flow and oxygen delivery
  • Reduces inflammatory processes
  • Recharges transmembrane potential
  • Increases ATP production in Mitochondria
  • Enhances sodium potassium pump
  • Stimulates DNA, RNA and Protein production

PEMF stimulates calcification of fiber cartilage between bone segments. It increases blood flow and inhibits resorptive phase of wound repair. It leads to formation of osteoids and calluses. It increases the rate of bone formation by osteoblast; it is 80% effective in treatment for non-union fractures.
