What are the top 10 benefits to utilizing MagnaWave PEMF therapy you ask? Well, here's #10!
10. General Wellness Enhancement: PEMF therapy is associated with improvements in quality of life, encompassing various health aspects.
There is still too much confusion around about what magnetotherapy is and how it works. In this article, we will help you better understand this therapeutic technique, and, in particular, what exactly PEMF therapy consists of.
There are two main kinds of magnetotherapy: static and pulsed.
In the following paragraphs, we will focus only on pulsed electromagnetic field (PEMF) therapy, because this kind of magnetotherapy has a wide range of applications in treating various pathologies affecting the musculoskeletal system and more. Indeed, magnetotherapy with pulsed rather than static electromagnetic fields has seen much more interest in the scientific literature, with numerous clinical studies demonstrating its therapeutic benefits.
Pulsed electromagnetic fields: what are they? The acronym PEMF is an abbreviation of PULSED ELECTROMAGNETIC FIELDS. But what exactly are they? An electromagnetic field is generated by an electric current flowing through one or more copper or aluminum wire coils, called solenoids, or around a radiant circuit. The device that generates the electric current regulates the intensity and frequency of the magnetic field it gives off.
In the case of low-frequency, high-intensity PEMF therapy, which makes use of solenoids, the frequency and intensity are respectively measured in hertz (Hz) and gauss (G).
Instead, in the case of high-frequency, low-intensity PEMF therapy, which uses radiant circuits, or antennas, the frequency, measured in megahertz (MHz), can vary from around 18 MHz up to as much as 900 MHz, while the intensity is very low and is usually measured in milliwatts (mW).
In both cases, the electromagnetic field is emitted at precise intervals and with a preset depth and frequency.
Clinical studies in this field have shown that such electromagnetic fields are able to regenerate a biomagnetic field at the cellular level, favoring the intra- and extra-cellular exchange of nutrients and waste.
This biological mechanism makes PEMF therapy the perfect ally in relieving pain and inflammation in bones, muscles and joints.
Furthermore, it has been shown that this therapy offers multiple benefits to people suffering from musculoskeletal pathologies such as:
*osteoporosis
*arthritis
*arthrosis (osteoarthritis)
*fractures
*inflammation
*chronic pain
*lumbago (lower back pain) and sciatica and many others
The difference between static and PEMF therapy: As mentioned above, magnetotherapy is a therapeutic technique that can either be static or pulsed. In the first case, static magnetotherapy, fixed, static magnetic fields are exploited, such as those of a magnet. In the case of pulsed magnetotherapy, on the other hand, pulsed electromagnetic fields (PEMF), or short radio waves, are used to reactivate the communication process between the inside and outside of cells, accelerating the healing times of the tissue subjected to therapy.
The difference lies precisely in the way the magnetic field is emitted, whether continuously or at intervals.
The difference between high and low frequency magnetotherapy: There are many PEMF therapy devices on the market, but they must be chosen with care, depending on the type of frequency and intensity they emit and the pathology they are intended to treat.
This is why there are two categories of PEMF therapy devices:
Devices that emit short radio waves to create a high-frequency, low-intensity electromagnetic field for therapeutic use.
Devices that emit pulsed electromagnetic fields (PEMF) using solenoids in contact with the skin. In this case, the devices emit a low-frequency, high intensity field for therapeutic use. High frequency magnetotherapy devices are more recommended for the treatment of soft tissues, and promote healing, the re-absorption of oedemas, and the reduction of inflammation.
The second type of device, on the other hand, allows for the treatment of pathologies related to the skeletal system, such as osteoporosis, arthritis, oedemas and fractures. In general, low-frequency, high-intensity magnetotherapy allows for the treatment of a larger number of pathologies using a low frequency electromagnetic field.
