FREQUENTLY ASKED PEMF QUESTIONS
Q: What does PEMF stand for?
A: Pulsed Electromagnetic Field

Q: What is PEMF?
A: PEMF Technology produces a safe, electromagnetic pulse which mimics the earth's own magnetic field, energizes the cells of the body, and stimulates the body's own natural healing process. Extensive research has demonstrated that non-invasive, painless, and drug-free PEMF therapy can lead to reduced inflammation, pain relief, accelerated healing, and many other widespread and life-changing health benefits. Based on NASA research, extensive medical research, and with well over a million daily users, this revolutionary health technology is supported by scientists and a growing number of medical practitioners worldwide.

Perhaps the easiest way to understand PEMF is to think in terms of each cell in your body as if it were a little battery. Like any battery, sometimes your cells become tired and worn, whether due to age, stress, overuse, or damage, making it more difficult for them to fight off any potentially damaging force or illness. Through PEMF therapy, your batteries (i.e. your cells) essentially become recharged. The energy supplied via PEMF waves gives them the energy they need to ward off whatever is threatening them, whether it's a trauma or disease based threat. This makes it easier for the body to restore its health naturally, simply by using the electrical currents and impulses that are already interacting within and throughout their cells. PEMF is like a “battery re-charger" for your depleted cells.


Q: Who can use a PEMF session?
A: Everyone can use PEMF therapy from the very young to the elderly, from sedentary individuals to those that exercise daily. Essentially, anyone at any age group, any level of wellness or fitness including both humans and animals (of all species), can benefit from using this technology while experiencing no negative side effects.

Q: Are there any contraindications?
A: 1. A contraindication for the use of a PEMF device is placing an active applicator over implanted electrical devices like pacemakers, cochlear implants, intrathecal pumps, etc. Because the magnetic field can shut the device off or otherwise interfere with its function.
2. PEMF Complete warns against the use of PEMF therapy on pregnant women.
3. For people who have seizures or that are active bleeders should consult their physician for advice.

Q: What will I experience during a PEMF session?
A: Since everyone is unique and has different physical problems or conditions, each will experience something different. There are numerous types of therapeutic and intensity settings on the devices, allowing the individual to increase or decrease the effects. Thus, a person can experience many different sensations. Frequently, people will state that they feel a tingling in an area of an old injury, while others say they feel a sense of wellness and relaxation. Check it out for yourself and see what you experience!

Q: Do I have to undress for the treatment?
A: No. All treatments are administered being fully dressed.

Q: Will I feel any pain during the treatment?
A: No. The magnetic-pulses can be adjusted to the individual, there is no pain, however you will feel the pulsing of the magnetic current during treatment.

Q: What is a PEMF Session like?
A: A PEMF session will essentially feel relaxing. Most people simply go to a restful, meditative state or fall asleep. Afterwards they arise from the therapeutic experience feeling rested, peaceful and energized…minus some aches and pains.

Q: How often can I use PEMF therapy?
A: You can use PEMF therapy as often as you choose. Whether you use it once a day or once a week. PEMF treatment is a safe, easy to use and effective treatment with no negative side effects. Using PEMF from 5 – 30 minutes per day offers long lasting, significant relief not only throughout the day but throughout the weeks and months, as it mobilizes the body's healing resources.

Q: How long has PEMF therapy been FDA approved?
A: The first high-power PEMF therapy devices appeared on the market in the 1970s. In the US, the FDA has approved the use of PEMF therapy for treating nonunion bone fractures (in 1979), muscle stimulation and urinary incontinence (in 1998), and anxiety and depression (in 2006).

Q: How do you get the most out of a PEMF treatment?
A: To maximize the effectiveness, it is recommended the person drink a glass of water prior to treatment to ensure they are properly hydrated since dehydration can hinder the circulation of oxygen, nutrients and hormones and prevent them from being transferred successfully to tissues and cells throughout the body.
