PEMF therapy has been shown to relieve both acute and chronic pain without the potentially toxic side effects of opioids or the possible complications thereof. Several studies are showing a definite reduction in pain in patients with osteoarthritis after they were treated with PEMF and the Journal of Pain Research showed that PEMF therapy effectively reduced pain and improved the quality of life in patients with fibromyalgia.
PEMF causes increased blood flow to the site of an injury by dilating the blood vessels that deliver oxygen to the damaged tissues. This increase in blood flow promotes wound healing and reduces inflammation. PEMF therapy also stimulates the production of nitric oxide, a vasodilator that improves blood flow. Increased blood circulation is critical in bringing oxygen and nutrients to the cells fighting to repair themselves.
Inflammation occurs when tissue is damaged, obstructing blood flow and causing swelling. PEMF reduces inflammation by improving blood flow in the area. Research confirms that PEMF reduces inflammation and swelling in cases of osteoarthritis and fibromyalgia as well as in postoperative patients and those with pelvic pain syndrome.
Muscle spasms can be extremely painful whichever muscles they affect. Fortunately, PEMF also offers a remedy for this intrusive problem, having been shown to improve cellular charges and calcium flow to relieve muscle spasms. Two medical journal studies have reported that PEMF therapy has reduced muscle spasms in both patients with fibromyalgia and those with chronic back pain.
In the same way that pulsed electromagnetic field therapy promotes the healing process for muscles and joints. it helps bones repair fractures by stimulating cell growth and regeneration. One of the astonishing aspects of PEMF treatment is that it manages to heal damaged tissues while leaving normal cells undisturbed. Also, PEMF increases the body’s production of adenosine triphosphate, which greatly aids in muscle contraction, blood flow, and locomotion.
