Will I immediately feel better after the treatment?
What is Electromagnetic Therapy?
Pulsed Electromagnetic Field Therapy also know as Electromagnetic Therapy, has been proven to be safe and very effective for supporting the body’s ability to regenerate specific sites and relieving pain while recovering from chronic health conditions. It supports healing at a cellular level to restore our body. PEMF feeds the body with the energy needed to heal itself thus, it promotes overall wellness.
PEMF therapy is the least invasive, drug-free and non-toxic treatment. It is a therapy with the least side effects. PEMF, among other properties, is a pain relief therapy used by doctors, trainers and by normal people. It is a safe modality of treatment and it is used to accelerate therapeutic purposes with conditions such chronic pain, injuries and neurological conditions. Its application significantly improves cellular functions promoting the body’s natural restoring and healing.
PEMF Therapy & Its Procedure
-
- Decide the purpose of the PEMF therapy
One may choose to use PEMF therapy for health maintenance or to treat health conditions such as knee and hip osteoarthritis, osteoporosis, disc conditions, injuries and fractures or to heal wounds.
-
- Decide on using local or whole body PEMF therapy
The purpose of the use of PEMF therapy can condition the therapy in the sense of using a localized or whole body therapy If it is localized is placed to the damaged site. One might choose whole body therapy when the site is bigger or when one decides to undergo the therapy for wellness purposes.
-
- Set the parameters: intensity, frequency and time of the therapy
Depending on the purpose you choose to use PEMF therapy, you then decide on the program. Program refers to the therapy itself and related variables such as the intensity of PEMF devices, frequency of the sessions and overall timeline of the treatment. Yet, there are variations depending on whether a user wants to use a certain site or the whole body therapy. Such variables are consulted with a physiotherapist and then set in accordance with the users’ needs.
-
- Start the procedure
After having decided the type of the therapy, the intensity of the devices and the number of times you are going to treat yourself with the therapy, then the actual procedure begins. The therapy is really simple, indeed. You can enter into a machine if it is a whole-body treatment or make use of applicators if you want PEMFs to be applied only to a specific area. If so, the device is placed in the site where the user wants to treat. Energy is induced from the device to the cells thus providing the patient with a number of different benefits.
Do I feel pain during the treatment?
Users usually feel the magnetic wave of energy entering their body but it causes them no pain. PEMF therapy is a very comfortable procedure and most of the users find it relaxing as they are being treated. There are no incisions or injections performed on the user’s body during the treatment. You can read this patients first experience about PEMF therapy.
However, people who are sensitive to EMFs need to be cautious. Those who have implemented pacemakers, electrical devices or pregnant women need to be treated with very low intensity electromagnetic fields.
Will I immediately feel better after PEMF therapy?
Clinical experiments show that the application of PEMF on the patients’ body relieves pain almost immediately. At the end of the treatment, patients often feel noticeably re-energized and are free to return to their normal, daily lives. PEMF improves overall body energy right after the treatment.
The therapy serves as a body recharger. We feel pain when our cells are damaged and thus can not function properly. The pulsating electromagnetic fields reach the cells making them more flexible. The fields promote oxygenation and so the cells rush out toxins and therefore are cleansed able to function properly.
PEMF is effective and gives results due to the penetration of the magnetic fields in all body cells at the same time, but this can not be achieved with other methods as they are peripheral. Pulsed fields enhance ion exchange, cell voltage, normalize circulation, and increase the oxygen utilization of the cell. They normalize cell metabolism, disappearing pain gradually throughout treatment.
In other words, patients will feel revitalized almost immediately.
Will my conditions improve immediately after the first session with PEMF therapy?
Immediate results are experienced by the users who chose PEMF therapy to promote overall wellness and revitalize their body’s energy.
Regarding treatment of health conditions the therapy doesn’t make magic and it can not cure conditions,which have been on the human body for years, overnight. PEMF therapy is not a medication or surgical treatment but it intends to restore the human body by revitalizing the most important working element of it, the cell. It is a process and it takes quite a long time.
Small changes such as pain-relief improvements can be noticed after some sessions. However, there are a number of factors which contribute to the restoration process of the body from health conditions.
The condition aimed to be treated, its severity, its extensivity and the period of time the patient has suffered from it are elements to be taken into consideration when thinking about treatment time. Such conditions are treated using appropriate intensity of PEMF devices, a gradually decreasing number of the time and the number of the sessions with PEMF therapy.
The more severe is the condition, the longer it takes to treat and to achieve possibly complete recovery.
In other words, setting a treatment timeline needs taking into consideration: the information for the nature of the problem, how long it’s been going on, the depth of damage or dysfunction, what tissues are involved and their potential to regenerate and the age of the person to be treated.
PEMFs can slow down or even pause the progression of disease. A user feels almost immediately better after the therapy but the treatment of health conditions can take longer, as suggested 12 or more weeks of therapy. Yet, therapy is set based on the user’s needs and they vary considerably.
