Pulsed Electromagnetic Fields

Therapy with pulsating electromagnetic fields is a non-invasive and relatively new modality of physical therapy that is being widely studied for its beneficial effects on living tissue.

All the tissues of your body are composed of individual cells that perform functions critical to the very basis of health. A large portion of your individual cells are protected by a thin, waterproof lipid membrane that carries a tiny but measurable charge that provides important bio-energy for normal cell metabolism.

Any challenge to the cell, such as oxygen deficiency, nutrient deficiency, or toxicity can degrade the cell’s charge. Without its energy, the cell’s efficiency is compromised. Gateways for ion transport that depend on energy to cross in and out of the cell do not function. The ion exchange is an important function – it greatly improves oxygen utilization at the cellular level. Without oxygen the cell cannot produce ATP (cellular energy); the sodium potassium pumping mechanism cannot be fueled, nutrients cannot be exchanged for waste, and the gradient falls further in a downward cycle leading to the compromised health of the cell.

Think of how an operating car battery can be hooked up to a dead battery to bring it back to life in seconds. By placing cables that produce an electromagnetic field near the area of issue, bio-available electric energy is produced millions of times a second. Research has shown that its effectiveness is not through heat productions, as in the case with some treatments – but it is at the cellular level. Every pulse carries bundles of raw energy that can be captured by the cell membrane and delivered to the internal sub cellular components. Oxygen utilization, ATP production, the exchange of nutrients for cellular waste, and an overall improved energy is restored to the cell.
