Pulsed Electromagnetic Field (PEMF)

General Information

Pulsed Electromagnetic Field (PEMF) therapy involves the application of low-frequency electromagnetic pulses to the body through externally placed applicators. These pulses generate time-varying magnetic fields that interact with tissues at a cellular level.

PEMF has been studied in research settings for its potential influence on cellular signalling, circulation, and tissue responsiveness. In musculoskeletal practice, it may be incorporated as part of a broader care approach focused on movement, function, and tissue support.

PEMF is non-invasive and typically used alongside manual therapy, exercise guidance, and other rehabilitation strategies. Individual responses vary, and outcomes cannot be predicted or guaranteed.

PEMF therapy has been explored in research examining bone density, tissue repair processes, and cellular communication. In clinical settings, it may be considered as part of a comprehensive musculoskeletal management approach where appropriate.

PEMF therapy is not a substitute for medical diagnosis or treatment. Individuals with medical conditions, implanted electronic devices, pregnancy, or other health concerns should consult their medical practitioner before participation.
