Mechanisms of Action:
PEMF therapy influences cellular activity primarily by affecting the cell membrane potential and ion exchange. It impacts the following cellular processes:
Ion Exchange and Membrane Potential
PEMF therapy facilitates the movement of ions such as calcium and potassium across the cell membrane, which is crucial for cellular communication and function.
Nitric Oxide
Increased nitric oxide production leads to vasodilation, improved blood flow, and enhanced healing.
Stem Cell Activation
PEMF therapy can activate stem cells, promoting tissue regeneration and repair.
Gene Expression
Changes in gene expression induced by PEMF can enhance the production of proteins involved in healing and stress response.
Health and Body Benefits:
Increase Cellular Energy
By boosting the activity of the mitochondria, PEMF therapy enhances ATP (adenosine triphosphate) production, leading to improved cellular energy and function.
Improve Blood Flow
PEMF therapy promotes vasodilation and improved blood circulation, which aids in delivering oxygen and nutrients to tissues while removing waste products.
Reduce Inflammation
The therapy can modulate the inflammatory response, decreasing the levels of pro-inflammatory cytokines and increasing anti-inflammatory cytokines.
Enhance Cellular Repair and Regeneration
PEMF stimulates cellular repair processes and can enhance the regeneration of tissues, including bone, cartilage, and muscle.
Pain Relief
By modulating the pain pathways and reducing inflammation, PEMF therapy provides significant pain relief for animals suffering from acute or chronic conditions.
Improved Mobility
By reducing pain and inflammation, PEMF therapy can enhance mobility in animals with musculoskeletal issues.
History
PEMF
The FDA first approved PEMF therapy for the healing of non-union bone fractures in the United States in 1979. Since then, its applications have expanded to include treatment for pain, inflammation, and a variety of other conditions.
—PEMF for Depression – FDA Approved 2006
— PEMF for Post-Operative Pain and Edema – FDA Cleared 2008
— PEMF for Adjunctive Treatment of Osteoarthritis of the Knee- FDA Approved 2017
— PEMF for Chronic Pain of the Heel- FDA cleared 2017
— PEMF for Post-Surgical Pain and Edema in Superficial Soft Tissue- FDA cleared 2018
