Pulse Electromagnetic Field (PEMF) therapy is a fast, simple and effective way to increase the healing potential of every cell in your body, PEMF stimulates cellular metabolism and improves your health at the cellular level. PEMF therapy can benefit many disorders, diseases and injuries without any of the harmful side effects usually associated with prescription drugs and medical procedures, PEMF is a completely safe and natural form of treatment, and anyone can benefit from PEMF, not even animals exception.
With so many different PEMF devices on the market, it can seem difficult to determine which one is best for your individual needs, here are some questions to help you choose the best PEMF device.
1. What do you do with PEMF equipment? The first thing to determine before buying is the purpose of use, is it for a chronic or acute problem, for one area or multiple areas? For example, for the whole body or mainly for local problems such as knees, shoulders, and head? If you suffer from chronic diseases and general pain, the PEMF pad will be a good choice for you, which can generate PEMF around the individual body, you only need to lie down during the treatment, and it is convenient to see a doctor while sleeping. Most PEMF mats sold on the market are low-strength devices and therefore safe for long-term handling. For acute pain, topical issues, and sports injuries, portable PEMF devices are more suitable, you can put it in your bag and use it anytime, anywhere.
2. Is there a PEMF device with the best frequency for your application? Frequency is very important for PEMF therapy, the earth frequencies mainly in the 0-30 hertz (Hz) range perfectly match the frequencies of our body, mind, tissues and cells, the human body needs this frequency range to maintain health, especially 8-10 Hz scope. Most PEMF devices use rounded numbers as the basis for their programs, but scientific studies show that the 9.6 Hz frequency heals your body the most.
3. Is the PEMF device of appropriate strength? The strength of the pulsed magnetic field produced by the PEMF device is one of the most important specifications for a successful outcome, different strengths are used for different health conditions, and we must realize that greater strength is not always better. Depending on the amount of magnetic energy produced by PEMF devices, these devices can be divided into low-intensity devices typically producing less than 1,000 Gauss and high-intensity devices producing anywhere between 1,000 and 50,000 Gauss. Typically, the low-intensity device is primarily used to improve cellular health, it helps treat injuries and pain caused by accidents, sports injuries, and surgery, and it can be used for long-term treatment. While high-intensity equipment is better suited for dealing with issues deep in the body, such as the spine, abdomen, and chest, you can opt for high-intensity equipment if you have limited treatment time.
4. Does the PEMF device have multiple pulse modes? Most PEMF devices use a constant pulse pattern, which can have undesirable effects. Just as people ignore continuous sounds like traffic noise or rain, your body gets used to the frequency of the pulses and ignores them. This is called entrainment. Your body can continue to absorb if the pattern, intensity of the PEMF device changes over time, advanced PEMF devices have three main stages of change: initialization, main routine and final stage.
4.1) Initialization – Just as athletes warm up before exercise to avoid injury, PEMF therapy should start slowly, it should begin with a soothing initialization phase, with pulses alternating like a metronome, varying in strength, the magnetic field of each pulse Both are reversed, thus eliminating any residual charge, and the average intensity is gradually increased to gently prepare your body for the main procedure.
4.2) Main Program – Studies have found that short pulses enter cells more easily. Longer, stronger pulses are less effective and can cause damage. For example, driving a nail into wood, a very large hammer can damage the wood, a smaller hammer can do the same job without damaging it, but requires more blows. Optimal pulse strength varies from person to person, pulses are combined to achieve a precise pulse strength, and the pattern is then repeated in the opposite direction to ensure your body is perfectly balanced during the main routine.
4.3) Final Stage – The final stage uses soothing waves to caress your body and prepare it for the next treatment cycle.
5. Does the PEMF device have bi-directional pulses? The bi-directional pulses prevent your body from overcharging during the treatment and keep your body in balance, this also means you can safely use PEMF devices with bi-directional pulses for a long time, so make sure the pulses your device sends are bi-directional.
With these criteria in place, you now know which PEMF equipment to choose. Finally, how to choose a suitable PEMF floor mat for yourself or your family? There are five areas you should pay attention to: your budget, frequency range, bi-directional pulse, waveform and the material of the pad covering.
