PEMF Therapy
Pulsed electromagnetic field therapy to enhance cellular function, reduce inflammation, and support bone and tissue healing.
Evidence Summary
FDA-approved for bone healing and depression (TMS). Growing evidence for pain, inflammation, and cellular health. Protocol and device parameters vary widely.
Evidence Scale
Mechanism of Action
Pulsed magnetic fields induce electrical currents in tissues, influencing ion channels, cell membrane potential, and cellular signaling. Enhances ATP production and healing.
Who Is This For?
Pain reduction, bone healing, cellular optimization, recovery enhancement, sleep improvement.
Protocol & Dosing
Dose
Varies by condition and device. Typically 8-30 minute sessions.
Frequency
Daily to 3x/week
Duration
Ongoing or course-based
Protocol Summary
Mat, pad, or local applicator. Various intensities and frequencies. Sessions 8-30 minutes.

Potential Side Effects
Practitioner Notes
Clinical annotations from Dr. Goel
Intensity and frequency matter. Low-frequency for relaxation/sleep, higher for healing. Quality devices expensive but effective. Consider for bone health and recovery.
