FAQ

What is PEMF?

A pulsating electro-magnetic field delivered to the body through a coil is said to produce one main result: stimulating cell metabolism. This action is thought to cause a chain of processes in the body that could lead to improvement of health without side effects. Increased oxygenation and blood flow helps support the bodies natural function and optimal wellness in a drug- free way.

Is PEMF safe to use for everyone?

PEMF machines are not medical devices and do not treat or cure diseases or their symptoms. You should always ask your doctor before using any type of PEMF machine, but generally yes they are safe to use. Your practitioner will talk to you about any contraindications.

How long has PEMF been used or been available?

PEMF technology has existed for hundreds of years, dating back to somewhat primitive civilizations, and has been used for a variety of purposes, including seed germination.

How long does a session take?

Normal session time is 20-30 minutes but can vary depending on the situation.

How long will the results last?

Results can last a day or weeks depending on the issue. In a performance situation 1-2 sessions per week is normally sufficient.

Why treat the whole body when the problem is in one area?

By increasing the blood oxygen in the whole body, the sensitive area continues to be benefited as super oxygenated blood from the rest of the body continues to flow through the area. Your practitioner will discuss how to approach your issue with you.

What actually happens during a session?

The blood oxygen is increased, lymphatic system is activated and acupuncture points are stimulated. This process reduces pain and inflammation and promotes healing. The oxygenation of the blood helps relieve inflammation, thus relieving pain and helping the body begin to heal itself naturally.

What should I expect after my first session?

A PEMF session can vary for each client. Diet, lifestyle, activity level, hydration, general health, & stress levels all contribute to how PEMF will work and how your equine athlete/pet feels after sessions. PEMF can help them feel energized, and this feeling can build for a few hours after a session. It is important to keep track of how they are feeling and for how long after each session. It tells your veterinarian & practitioner how many sessions they will need to achieve your goals. If you notice your equine athlete/pet having less energy after a session, this may be due to a detox reaction. The body wants to clean house and is getting rid of toxins. Resting and keeping them hydrated may support this detox reaction.

Can PEMF be used on people with stints, or metal implants?

Yes. While the magnetic field will not go through metal it will go around implants to the surrounding tissue. People with certain battery operated devices such as a pacemaker do not qualify for the use of PEMF because the risk of depleting the battery.
