Information
has glosseng: Pulsed Electromagnetic Field Therapy (PEMF), also called Pulsed Magnetic Therapy, is a reparative technique most commonly used in the field of orthopedics for the treatment of non-union fractures, failed fusions, and congenital pseudarthrosis. PEMF uses electrical energy to direct a series of magnetic pulses through injured tissue whereby each magnetic pulse induces a tiny electrical signal that stimulates cellular repair. Many studies have also demonstrated the effectiveness of PEMF in healing soft-tissue wounds; suppressing inflammatory responses at the cell membrane level to alleviate pain, and increasing range of motion. The value of pulsed electromagnetic field therapy has been shown to cover a wide range of conditions, with well documented trials carried out by hospitals, rheumatologists and physiotherapists. Despite FDA approval in 1979, electrical stimulation therapy devices remain widely unused due to lack of scientifically-derived, evidence-based knowledge of the mechanism of action.
