PEMF
Pulsed Electromagnetic Field
What is PEMF?
Pulsed Electromagnetic Field (pEMF) stimulation is imperceptible, yet the effects are real. You can't feel it because an electromagnetic field is generated through a wire coil that simply flows through the air and passes through your body effortlessly. At low intensity pEMF is safe and has numerous clinical benefits.
What is PEMF used for?
PEMF is an incredibly versatile treatment. We place the coils around the head for brainwave entrainment and coherence. This is because the consistent rhythm of the stimulation helps neurons synchronize. We also frequently place coils on the belly for inflammation reduction, and around joints for arthritis, fibromyalgia, and other ailments.
Is PEMF safe?
PEMF is relatively gentle compared to other stimulation technologies. Repetitive Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation, for example, uses changes in magnetic field of up to 1-2 Tesla, which is forty thousand of times more powerful than the stimulation we use. A household refrigerator generates more EMF than the pEMF system we use in treatment. However, less is more, and we can influence how the brain responds with just a whisper of pEMF stimulation. Instead of forcing neurons to fire, we are simply nudging them to change the timing of the way they spontaneously fire.
