How PEMF WorksPEMF stands for pulsed electromagnetic field. This kind of therapy is distinct from every other modality including lasers, scenar, TENs, and tools for adjustment. It uses magnetic pulses traveling at nanosecond speeds to deliver micro-current deeply into the soft tissue, bones, nerves, and joints. And it is especially exciting because of the unique and special way in which it interacts with cellular physiology to stimulate the body to heal itself.

The Electromagnetic Field of the Human Body

Science recognizes that areas of the body that are under stress, ill, or injured drop noticeably in electrical resistance. This means any electricity the body is exposed to will automatically flow to the struggling area much in the same way that water flows downhill.

Now we understand that this ‘flow’ occurs at the cellular level. A healthy cell has an electric charge across its membrane measuring about -75 millivolts (mV). It is important to remember the inside of the cell is polarized negatively and the outside is polarized positively. Injury, illness, poor diet, and excess stress depletes this charge.

There comes a point when the energy of the cell is too low to adapt to its stressors. The -75mV gets lower, and lower, eventually drops to zero, and then reverses polarity! In other words, when depleted, the inside of the cell becomes positive and the outside becomes negative.

This polarity reversal triggers a signal that travels through the nervous system that we call ‘pain.’ Chronic pain, then, can be understood to be a chronic lack of vital cellular energy in the form of micro-current.

How Pulsed Electromagnetic Fields Interact with Cellular Physiology

Probably the best known forms of micro-current therapy are TENs and Scenar. Although Scenar attempts to improve on TENs, both ultimately share the same weakness - penetration. Using these delivery methods the micro-current energy tends to stay along the surface of the skin, never reaching a sufficient depth to treat pain at the cellular level.

PEMF Quanta is different because the micro-current is delivered on a powerful magnetic wave pulsed into the treatment area at nanosecond speeds. At this speed, the magnetic field easily travels through the body, delivering micro-current deeply into the tissue & penetrating the cell barrier to directly ‘recharge’ the mitochondria.

Remember how we talked about areas of low resistance in damaged areas of the body? Well, because of this, the body itself essentially guides the voltage to the appropriate area until full electrical charge is restored, then moves on to the next lowest resistance area. We’ll talk more about what that looks like during a treatment session with a patient in a short while.

For now, just remember that as a result of PEMF therapy the cell essentially ‘inhales’ the new energy and ‘exhales’ toxins for removal. As they charge back up to -75mV or more, the pain signals cease immediately and the cells use their new energy to begin healing. Therapy also temporarily increases the permeability of the cell barrier which improves absorption of nutrients, supplements, and medicines.

Benefits & ContraindicationsBenefits

PEMF is unique because it works with the body to get energy to the right cells at the right time. The cells allocate the energy in just the way they need to in order to bring the body to a better state of health. As a result, it can have profoundly beneficial effects very quickly for a variety of chronic and acute conditions. However, it is best known for:

- Relieving chronic & acute pain up to 100% in 10 min with the effects typically lasting 3 days.- Effectively softening inflammation & muscle tension before manual spinal adjustment.- Reliably achieving myofascial release.- Restoring range of motion and reducing pain in arthritic joints.- Accelerating healing of injuries to bones, joints, nerves, connective and soft tissue. - Improving conditions considered ‘permanent’ including chronic fatigue/fibromyalgia.- Enhancing results from other therapies used by the patient including supplement, diet, and

exercise programs. - Achieving dramatic results the patient feels right away as a non-invasive, holistic treatment.- Breaking the cycle of pain and supporting the body’s natural process of healing & recovery.

Different conditions require different periods of time to recover. Generally, we recommend one treatment every 3 days to allow the body time to assimilate each treatment. Even healthy people enjoy using the PEMF Quanta, saying it makes them feel energized, uplifted, and younger! Also, patients mention noticeable improvements in their skin quality & major reductions in scar tissue.

But perhaps the most interesting aspect of PEMF therapy is its lack of ‘cap limit’ on what can be achieved with regular, on-going treatment sessions. Over the course of life the body builds up layers of injuries. The brain sorts which injuries it pushes into awareness & which it suppresses by urgency. That’s why after recovering from the initial complaint, PEMF patients feel new areas to treat - areas that their brain had previously ‘tuned out’ as low-priority.

This process of ‘chasing the pain’ continues until there are no more complaints. And after you try it, you’ll understand why the desire to feel this rejuvenating wave remains long after the pain fades. Because with PEMF Quanta, there really is no limit to how much better you can feel.

Contraindications

Because it is a form of EMP (electromagnetic pulse) it should never be used on individuals with internally implanted electronics such as pacemakers. Even if the implant seems far from the treatment area (implant in the head & treating the foot) the answer is always no.

Also, because of micro-current’s incredible bacteria & virus-killing power, it is not recommended to pulse the abdomen or colon for extended periods of time (15 minutes or more). Doing so may trigger mild cold symptoms as a result of detoxing too fast. We recommend offering a glass of water to the patient after their session in order to assist their body in flushing any toxins that may have been released during the treatment.

Lastly, be aware that this treatment temporarily increases the permeability of the cell barrier. Because it could change the effective dose the patient absorbs, we do not recommend using PEMF therapy while prescription medications are present in the bloodstream.

Supportive StudiesFollowing are studies published by the National Institute of Health on their pubmed.gov website. Our device, PEMF Quanta, is too new to be included as a therapy tested below. However, because the device itself is based on the same research & treatment principles, the following results can also be considered applicable to PEMF Quanta.

Bones

I. Radiodensitometric Assessment of the Effect of Pulsed Electromagnetic Field Stimulation Versus Low Intensity Laser Irradiation on Mandibular Fracture Repair: A Preliminary Clinical Trial.

http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/26225010

PURPOSE: Closed reduction of mandibular fractures usually entails a relatively long period of immobilization, with the subsequent delay of rehabilitation. Therefore, shorter immobilization period with various approaches to protect or enhance bone healing have been investigated. The aim of this study was to analyze the effects of pulsed electromagnetic field (PEMF) and low intensity laser irradiation (LILI) on the fracture healing process, through radiodensitometric assessment of the bone callus.

CONCLUSION: Short period immobilization of mandibular fractures for 2 weeks supplemented with PEMF is recommended. Further studies are needed to evaluate the efficacy of LILI (low intensity laser irradiation) as a supplement to reduce the mandibular fracture immobilization period.

II. Pulsed electromagnetic fields partially preserve bone mass, microarchitecture, and strength by promoting bone formation in hindlimb-suspended rats.


PURPOSE: A large body of evidence indicates that pulsed electromagnetic fields (PEMF), as a safe and noninvasive method, could promote in vivo and in vitro osteogenesis. Thus far, the effects and underlying mechanisms of PEMF on disuse osteopenia and/or osteoporosis remain poorly understood. Herein, the efficiency of PEMF on osteoporotic bone microarchitecture, bone strength, and bone metabolism, together with its associated signaling pathway mechanism, was systematically investigated in hindlimb-unloaded (HU) rats.

CONCLUSION: Together, these results demonstrate that PEMF alleviated disuse-induced bone loss by promoting skeletal anabolic activities, and imply that PEMF might become a potential biophysical treatment modality for disuse osteoporosis.

III. Early application of pulsed electromagnetic field in the treatment of postoperative delayed union of long-bone fractures: a prospective randomized controlled study.

http://pubmed.gov



PURPOSE: Pulsed electromagnetic field (PEMF) is reported to be an effective adjunct for the management of nonunion long-bone fractures. Most studies implement PEMF treatment after 6 months or longer of delayed union or nonunion following fracture treatment. Despite these variations in treatment, the early application of PEMF following a diagnosis of a postoperative delayed union has not been specifically analyzed. In this study, the outcomes of postoperative delayed union of long-bone fractures treated with an early application of PEMF were evaluated as compared with a sham-treated control group.

CONCLUSION: Patients in the PEMF group showed a higher rate of union than those in the control group after the first three months of treatment, but this difference failed to achieve statistical significance. At the end of the study, PEMF treatment conducted for an average of 4.8 months led to a success rate of 77.4%. This was significantly higher than the control, which had an average duration of 4.4 months and a success rate of 48.1%. The total time from operation to the end of the study was a mean of 9.6 months for patients in the PEMF group. Fracture patients treated with an early application of PEMF achieved a significantly increased rate of union and an overall reduced suffering time compared with patients that receive PEMF after the 6 months or more of delayed union, as described by others.

Cancer

I. Low intensity and frequency pulsed electromagnetic fields selectively impair breast cancer cell viability.


PURPOSE: A common drawback of many anticancer therapies is non-specificity in action of killing. We investigated the potential of ultra-low intensity and frequency pulsed electromagnetic fields (PEMFs) to kill breast cancer cells. Our criteria to accept this technology as a potentially valid therapeutic approach were: 1) cytotoxicity to breast cancer cells and; 2) that the designed fields proved innocuous to healthy cell classes that would be exposed to the PEMFs during clinical treatment.

CONCLUSION: Based on our data it appears that PEMF-based anticancer strategies may represent a new therapeutic approach to treat breast cancer without affecting normal tissues in a manner that is non-invasive and can be potentially combined with existing anti-cancer treatments.

II. The anti-tumor effect of A3 adenosine receptors is potentiated by pulsed electromagnetic fields in cultured neural cancer cells.


PURPOSE: A(3) adenosine receptors (ARs) play a pivotal role in the development of cancer and their activation is involved in the inhibition of tumor growth. The effects of pulsed electromagnetic fields (PEMFs) on cancer have been controversially discussed and the detailed mechanisms are not yet fully understood. In the past we have demonstrated that PEMFs increased A(2A) and

�7



A(3)AR density and functionality in human neutrophils, human and bovine synoviocytes, and bovine chondrocytes. In the same cells, PEMF exposure increased the anti-inflammatory effect mediated by A(2A) and/or A(3)ARs. The primary aim of the present study was to evaluate if PEMF exposure potentiated the anti-tumor effect of A(3)ARs in PC12 rat adrenal pheochromocytoma and U87MG human glioblastoma cell lines in comparison with rat cortical neurons.

CONCLUSION: Together these results demonstrated that PEMF exposure significantly increases the anti-tumor effect modulated by A(3)ARs.

Connective Tissue

I. Low frequency pulsed electromagnetic field affects proliferation, tissue-specific gene expression, and cytokines release of human tendon cells.


PURPOSE: Low frequency pulsed electromagnetic field (PEMF) has proven to be effective in the modulation of bone and cartilage tissue functional responsiveness, but its effect on tendon tissue and tendon cells (TCs) is still underinvestigated.

CONCLUSION: Our data demonstrated that PEMF positively influence, in a dose-dependent manner, the proliferation, tendon-specific marker expression, and release of anti-inflammatory cytokines and angiogenic factor in a healthy human TCs culture model.

II. Pulsed magnetic and electromagnetic fields in experimental achilles tendonitis in the rat: a prospective randomized study.


PURPOSE: To investigate the effects of pulsed magnetic fields (PMF) and pulsed electromagnetic fields (PEMF) on healing in experimental Achilles tendon inflammation in the rat.

CONCLUSION: The tendon returned to histological normality in all groups, but the PMF group showed better collagen alignment by the end of the study. PMF resulted in a greater reduction of inflammation, with a better return of the tendon to histological normality.

III. Pulsed electromagnetic field therapy of persistent rotator cuff tendinitis. A double-blind controlled assessment.


PURPOSE: The value of pulsed electromagnetic fields (PEMF) for the treatment of persistent rotator cuff tendinitis was tested in a double-blind controlled study in 29 patients whose symptoms were refractory to steroid injection and other conventional conservative measures.

CONCLUSION:

�8




At the end of the study 19 (65%) of the 29 patients were symptomless and 5 others much improved. PEMF therapy may thus be useful in the treatment of severe and persistent rotator cuff and possibly other chronic tendon lesions.

Inflammation

I. Effect of pulsed electromagnetic field treatment on programmed resolution of inflammation pathway markers in human cells in culture.


PURPOSE: Inflammation is a complex process involving distinct but overlapping biochemical and molecular events that are highly regulated. Pulsed electromagnetic field (PEMF) therapy is increasingly used to treat pain and edema associated with inflammation following surgery involving soft tissue. However, the molecular and cellular effects of PEMF therapy on pathways involved in the resolution of inflammation are poorly understood. Using cell culture lines relevant to trauma-induced inflammation of the skin (human dermal fibroblasts, human epidermal keratinocytes, and human mononuclear cells), we investigated the effect of PEMF on gene expression involved in the acute and resolution phases of inflammation.

CONCLUSION: We found that PEMF treatment was followed by changes in the relative amount of messenger (m)RNAs encoding enzymes involved in heme catabolism and removal of reactive oxygen species, including an increase in heme oxygenase 1 and superoxide dismutase 3 mRNAs, in all cell types examined 2 hours after PEMF treatment… Based on our results, we propose a model in which PEMF therapy may promote chronic inflammation resolution by mediating gene expression changes important for inhibiting and resolving inflammation.

II. Magnetic field anti-inflammatory effects in Crohn's disease depends upon viability and cytokine profile of the immune competent cells.


PURPOSE: We investigated effects of pulsating electromagnetic field (PEMF-50 Hz, 45 +/- 5 mT) on viability and cytokine production by human peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) from healthy donors and from Crohn's disease patients (CD).

CONCLUSION: Decreased viability of the Crohn derived cells upon magnetic stimulation was accompanied by altered cytokines profile. Exposed and stimulated PBMCs from Crohn patients decreased IFN-gamma proinflammatory and increased IL-10 anti-inflammatory cytokine production. The electromagnetically induced cell death could be an important step for non-invasive PEMF treatment in chronic inflammatory diseases.

III. Low frequency and low intensity pulsed electromagnetic field exerts its antiinflammatory effect through restoration of plasma membrane calcium ATPase activity.

PURPOSE:Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a chronic inflammatory disorder affecting 1% of the population worldwide. Pulsed electromagnetic field (PEMF) has a number of well-documented physiological effects on cells and tissues including anti-inflammatory effect. This study aims to explore the antiinflammatory effect of PEMF and its possible mechanism of action in amelioration of adjuvant induced arthritis (AIA).

CONCLUSION:Exposure of arthritic rats to PEMF… produced significant anti-oxidative effect resulting in the restoration of the altered parameters. The anti-inflammatory effect could be partially mediated through the stabilizing action of PEMF on membranes as reflected by the restoration of PMCA and intracellular Ca(2+) levels in blood lymphocytes subsequently inhibiting PGE(2) biosynthesis. The results of this study indicated that PEMF could be developed as a potential therapy for RA in human beings.

Joints

I. Pulsed electromagnetic field therapy inhibits chondrocyte apoptosis in rabbits with osteoarthritis.


PURPOSE: To determine the effect of pulsed electromagnetic field (PEMF) treatment on chondrocyte morphology, chondrocyte apoptosis, and the expression of apoptosis related proteins in rabbits.

CONCLUSION: Pulsed electromagnetic field treatment has therapeutic effect on the experimental osteoarthritis, which is likely a result of inhibition of apoptosis in chondrocytes.

II. Pulsed electromagnetic field therapy for management of osteoarthritis-related pain, stiffness and physical function: clinical experience in the elderly.


PURPOSE: Pulsed electromagnetic field (PEMF) therapy has shown promising therapeutic effectiveness on bone- and cartilage-related pathologies, being also safe for management of knee osteoarthritis. The aim of this study was to investigate the clinical efficacy of a PEMF device for management of knee osteoarthritis in elderly patients.

CONCLUSION: The present study shows that PEMF therapy improves pain, stiffness and physical function in elderly patients affected by knee osteoarthritis.

III. Chondroprotective effects of pulsed electromagnetic fields on human cartilage explants.


PURPOSE:

�10




This study investigated the effects of pulsed electromagnetic fields (PEMFs) on proteoglycan (PG) metabolism of human articular cartilage explants from patients with osteoarthritis (OA).

CONCLUSION: In conclusion, PEMF and IGF-I augment cartilage explant anabolic activities, increase PG synthesis, and counteract the catabolic activity of IL-1β in OA grades I and III. We hypothesize that both IGF-I and PEMF have chondroprotective effects on human articular cartilage, particularly in early stages of OA.

IV. Low frequency pulsed electromagnetic field--a viable alternative therapy for arthritis.


PURPOSE: Arthritis refers to more than 100 disorders of the musculoskeletal system. The existing pharmacological interventions for arthritis offer only symptomatic relief and they are not definitive and curative. Magnetic healing has been known from antiquity and it is evolved to the present times with the advent of electromagnetism. The original basis for the trial of this form of therapy is the interaction between the biological systems with the natural magnetic fields.

CONCLUSION: The analysis of various studies (animal models of arthritis, cell culture systems and clinical trials) reporting the use of PEMF for arthritis cure has conclusively shown that PEMF not only alleviates the pain in the arthritis condition but it also affords chondroprotection, exerts antiinflammatory action and helps in bone remodeling and this could be developed as a viable alternative for arthritis therapy.

Nerves

I. Combination of Local Transplantation of In Vitro Bone-marrow Stromal Cells and Pulsed Electromagnetic Fields Accelerate Functional Recovery of Transected Sciatic Nerve Regeneration: A Novel Approach in Transected Nerve Repair.


PURPOSE: Effect of combination of undifferentiated bone marrow stromal cells (BMSCs) and pulsed electromagnetic fields (PEMF) on transected sciatic nerve regeneration was assessed in rats.

CONCLUSION: Behavioral, functional, electrophysiological, biomechanical, gastrocnemius muscle mass findings, morphometric indices and immunohistochemical reactions confirmed faster recovery of regenerated axons in BMSC/PEMF group compared to those in the other groups (P<0.05). The use of undifferentiated BMSCs with whole body exposure to PEMF improved functional recovery… could be considered as an effective, safe and tolerable treatment for peripheral nerve repair in clinical practice.

II. Effects of Electromagnetic Field (PEMF) Exposure at Different Frequency and Duration on the Peripheral Nerve Regeneration: in Vitro and in Vivo Study.


PURPOSE:

�11



The purpose was to clarify the influence of frequency and exposure time of PEMF on the peripheral nerve regeneration.

CONCLUSION:PEMF enhanced peripheral nerve regeneration, and that may be due to cell proliferation and increase in BDNF and S100 gene expression.

III. Effects of pulsed electromagnetic field and swimming exercise on rats with experimental sciatic nerve injury.


PURPOSE: The current study aimed to reveal the therapeutic effects of a pulsed electromagnetic field and swimming exercises on rats with experimental sciatic nerve injury, which was induced with crush-type neuropathy model damage, using electrophysiological methods.

CONCLUSION: PEMF and swimming exercise made positive contributions to nerve regeneration after week 1, and regeneration was enhanced.

IV. Therapeutic effects of 15 Hz pulsed electromagnetic field on diabetic peripheral neuropathy in streptozotocin-treated rats.


PURPOSE: Although numerous clinical studies have reported that pulsed electromagnetic fields (PEMF) have a neuroprotective role in patients with diabetic peripheral neuropathy (DPN), the application of PEMF for clinic is still controversial. The present study was designed to investigate whether PEMF has therapeutic potential in relieving peripheral neuropathic symptoms in streptozotocin (STZ)-induced diabetic rats.

CONCLUSION: The current study demonstrates that treatment with PEMF might prevent the development of abnormalities observed in animal models for DPN. It is suggested that PEMF might have direct corrective effects on injured nerves and would be a potentially promising non-invasive therapeutic tool for the treatment of DPN.

Pain

I. An open-label pilot study of pulsed electromagnetic field therapy in the treatment of failed back surgery syndrome pain.


PURPOSE: Persistent pain following back surgery remains a major treatment challenge. The primary objective of this open-label exploratory study was to investigate the analgesic effectiveness of pulsed electromagnetic field therapy administered twice daily over a 45-day period in 34 subjects (68% female) with persistent or recurrent pain following back surgery. A secondary goal was to guide the design of future randomized controlled trials that could target responsive

�12



subpopulations. All predefined primary and secondary outcomes, including change in pain intensity (PI), physical function (Oswestry Disability Index), analgesic consumption, and overall well-being (Patient Global Impression of Change), are reported.

CONCLUSION: Relative to baseline, responders reported an average 44% and 55% reduction in back PI and leg PI (respectively), and an average 13% improvement in Oswestry Disability Index scores. In the per-protocol population, 50% of responders and 12% of nonresponders reported less analgesia consumption at the end of treatment versus baseline. Sixty-seven percent of per-protocol responders and 0% of nonresponders reported clinically meaningful improvement in overall well-being on the Patient Global Impression of Change scale.

II. Effects of pulsed electromagnetic field therapy on delayed-onset muscle soreness in biceps brachii.


PURPOSE: To compare the effects of pulsed electromagnetic field (PEMF) therapy and sham treatment on DOMS-related variables in elbow flexors at 24, 48 and 72 h after delayed onset muscle soreness (DOMS) induction exercise.

CONCLUSION:Overall, the application of the PEMF was found to be effective in reducing the physiological deficits associated with DOMS, including improved recovery of perceived muscle soreness, MDF, and EMD during isometric contraction… this study indicates that PEMF may be useful as a modality to reduce DOMS symptoms.

III. Evaluation of the efficacy of pulsed electromagnetic therapy in the treatment of back pain: a randomized controlled trial in a tertiary hospital in Nigeria.


PURPOSE:Musculoskeletal system disorders (MSDs) are amongst the most commonly encountered problems in orthopaedics and physiotherapy practice all over the world and back pain is amongst the most prevalent of musculoskeletal presentations encountered in clinical practice. The attendant deformities, huge economic loss among many other sequelae on the affected individuals have always informed the search for cost-effective treatment modalities that are non-invasive and are devoid of or at least have minimal side effects. This randomized controlled trial was conducted to assess the therapeutic efficacy of the use of a non-pharmacological device [pulsed electromagnetic field (PEMF)] modality in the treatment of back pain.

CONCLUSION: There was a statistically significant faster pain relief and resumption of active functions in patients treated with PEMF plus analgesic compared with the rates exhibited by patients treated with standard analgesics alone. These results suggest that PEMF therapy is beneficial in reducing pain and disability in patients with back pain…

IV. Non-invasive electromagnetic field therapy produces rapid and substantial pain reduction in early knee osteoarthritis: a randomized double-blind pilot study.

�13



PURPOSE:This study examined whether a non-thermal, non-invasive, pulsed electromagnetic field (PEMF), known to modulate the calmodulin (CaM)-dependent nitric oxide (NO)/cyclic guanosine monophosphate (cGMP) signaling pathway, could reduce pain in early knee OA.

CONCLUSION: The results suggest that non-thermal, non-invasive PEMF therapy can have a significant and rapid impact on pain from early knee OA and that larger clinical trials are warranted.

V. Low-frequency pulsed electromagnetic field therapy in fibromyalgia: a randomized, double-blind, sham-controlled clinical study.


PURPOSE:To evaluate the clinical effectiveness of low-frequency pulsed electromagnetic field (PEMF) therapy for women with fibromyalgia (FM).

CONCLUSION: The PEMF group showed significant improvements in FIQ, VAS pain, BDI score, and SF-36 scale in all domains at the end of therapy. At 12 weeks follow-up, only improvements in the BDI and SF-36 scores were present in the sham group… PEMF therapy [seems to] improve function, pain, fatigue, and global status in FM patients.

Spine

I. Evaluation of pulsed electromagnetic field therapy in the management of patients with discogenic lumbar radiculopathy.


PURPOSE: This randomized clinical trial was designed to evaluate the effect of pulsed electromagnetic field therapy (PEMF) in the management of patients with discogenic lumbar radiculopathy.

CONCLUSION: PEMF therapy is an effective method for the conservative treatment of lumbar radiculopathy caused by lumbar disc prolapse. In addition to improvement of clinically observed radicular symptoms, PEMF also seems effective in reducing nerve root compression as evidenced by improvement of SSEP parameters after treatment.

II. Effects of pulsed electromagnetic field on intervertebral disc cell apoptosis in rats.


PURPOSE: Despite numerous studies on pulsed electromagnetic field (PEMF) application, its effects of PEMF on intervertebral disc (IVD) have not yet been investigated in vivo. Accordingly, the effects of PEMF upon IVD in rats were evaluated through molecular surveys.

�14




CONCLUSION: These data suggest that PEMF attenuates degenerative processes in rat's intervertebral discs and has no effect on normal discs. Regulations of the expression of apoptotic proteins may be one of the mechanisms by which PEMF is effective in reducing disc degeneration.

III. Spine fusion for discogenic low back pain: outcomes in patients treated with or without pulsed electromagnetic field stimulation.


PURPOSE: Sixty-one randomly selected patients who underwent lumbar fusion surgeries for discogenic low back pain between 1987 and 1994 were retrospectively studied. All patients had failed to respond to preoperative conservative treatments. Forty-two patients received adjunctive therapy with pulsed electromagnetic field (PEMF) stimulation, and 19 patients received no electrical stimulation of any kind. Average follow-up time was 15.6 months postoperatively.

CONCLUSION: Fusion succeeded in 97.6% of the PEMF group and in 52.6% of the unstimulated group (P < .001). The observed agreement between clinical and radiographic outcome was 75%. The use of PEMF stimulation enhances bony bridging in lumbar spinal fusions. Successful fusion underlies a good clinical outcome in patients with discogenic low back pain.

Wounds

I. Pulsed electromagnetic field therapy promotes healing and microcirculation of chronic diabetic foot ulcers: a pilot study.


PURPOSE: To examine the effects of pulsed electromagnetic field (PEMF) therapy on promoting the healing and microcirculation of chronic diabetic foot ulcers.

CONCLUSION: In this study, PEMF therapy seemed to accelerate wound healing and improve microcirculation.

II. Pulsed electromagnetic fields for postoperative pain: a randomized controlled clinical trial in patients undergoing mandibular third molar extraction.


PURPOSE: The clinical efficacy of a wearable pulsed electromagnetic field (PEMF) therapy device was assessed in terms of pain and quality of healing after tooth extraction.

CONCLUSION: Test patients had only slightly lower visual analog scale scores and analgesic use, but significantly fewer cases of dehiscence than placebo patients. PEMF therapy delivered by a wearable device improved soft tissue healing and may be a useful adjunct for pain management after oral surgery.

III. Pulsed electromagnetic fields (PEMF) promote early wound healing and myofibroblast proliferation in diabetic rats.


PURPOSE:Reduced collagen deposition possibly leads to slow recovery of tensile strength in the healing process of diabetic cutaneous wounds. Myofibroblasts are transiently present during wound healing and play a key role in wound closure and collagen synthesis. Pulsed electromagnetic fields (PEMF) have been shown to enhance the tensile strength of diabetic wounds. In this study, we examined the effect of PEMF on wound closure and the presence of myofibroblasts in Sprague-Dawley rats after diabetic induction using streptozotocin.

CONCLUSION: PEMF treatment significantly enhanced wound closure (days 10 and 14 post-wounding) and re-epithelialization (day 10 post-wounding)… we demonstrated that significantly more myofibroblasts were detected on days 7 and 10 post-wounding in the PEMF group when compared to the control group. We hypothesized that PEMF would increase the myofibroblast population, contributing to wound closure during diabetic wound healing.

Types of PEMF DevicesAlthough all PEMF devices are based on the same principles, some perform better than others. The patient’s results will vary between devices depending on how its creator took PEMF’s key performance factors into account. These key performance factors include:

1) Power Level - This is the strength of the magnetic field that generates the pulse measured in Gauss (or Tesla for stronger pulses). There are a variety of both low-power and high-power devices available: Low-power devices are known to benefit depression, insomnia, and provide general PEMF benefits. However, because each pulse is so weak, it takes weeks or months of therapy before the patient notices a result for acute or chronic physical problems like pain, arthritis, and inflammation. The need for much longer treatment durations & their small size makes them popular for wearable treatment accessories. These units typically include special frequencies or frequency programs which they claim provide additional benefits.High-power devices yield faster and more dramatic results where the patient is concerned. This type of device typically uses a spark gap to generate an internal high-voltage electric arc that creates a powerful magnetic field. This means that fewer treatments & shorter durations are necessary to create noticeably positive results for a wide variety of physical conditions. These devices are slightly larger in size but are in most cases still portable. A variety of treatment accessories are available, most favoring a coil for direct application and a mattress for hands-free treatments. High-power units do not integrate frequency programs because the body receives the full frequency spectrum thanks to the internal spark gap, allowing the body to draw for itself just what it needs.

2) Pulse Speed - Also called ‘Rise Time,’ this is the speed at which the magnetic field travels into the body. Typical pulse speeds range from milliseconds into nanosecond ranges.

�16


Studies show that faster pulses penetrate deeper into the tissue and their energies are more readily absorbed.

3) Repetition Rate - This is distinct from ‘Pulse Speed’ because it describes how many pulses a given device delivers per minute. Because few devices are capable of fully independent adjustment of their Repetition Rate and Intensity controls, slower Repetitions Rates are associated with high-intensity pulses and faster Rates with weaker pulses. Both are effective and useful depending on the sensitivity of the patient in question.

Quanta: Today’s State-of-the-Art PEMF Device

PEMF Quanta is changing the way doctors treat pain, worldwide. Its 2 Tesla high-power pulses, extremely rapid pulse speeds of 200 nanoseconds, and fully adjustable repetition rate are just the tip of the iceberg.

Treatable ConditionsPEMF Quanta is perfectly suitable for chronic conditions suffered for many years and acute injuries alike. Although it is not FDA approved at this time, it has been shown through clinical trials in volunteering chiropractic offices to be an effective supportive therapy to dramatically ease patient suffering and accelerate recovery from musculoskeletal & nerve conditions. And because it energizes the body at the cellular level, doctors have seen positive results applying PEMF therapy to certain other conditions as well. Some of these conditions include:

• Arthritis• Autism• Bone fracture• Cancer• Carpal tunnel• Chronic fatigue• Fasciitis• Fibromyalgia• Inflammation• Neuropathy• Osteoporosis• Parkinsons• Permanent injury• Post-operative pain• Scar reduction• Scoliosis• Tendonitis• Tennis elbow• Torn rotator cuff• Wound healing

How to Conduct A TreatmentThe device delivers its magnetic pulse through a coil which is applied to the body. The coil can be applied to the body using any of a number of different treatment accessories or used on its own as a ‘rope’ wound into loops. Below is an example of a few common accessory options:

Your choice of accessory will depend on the patient (human or animal) and their worst point of pain. The ideal choice would be the one that encircles the treatment area with the point of pain in the very center or a few inches away from the center of the coil, as demonstrated below.

To best saturate the treatment area with energy, we use a 3-point approach; we approach the area from X, Y & Z angles whenever possible. A few minutes in each position is sufficient to complete a session.

After a certain period of time, the patient may feel the pain ‘move’ or migrate to a new area. In this case, chase the pain until it’s gone or the treatment session times out.

The typical session time is 10 minutes, but the appropriate time will vary based on the patient’s condition, sensitivity, and severity.As a rule of thumb, soft tissue recovers the fastest and bone recovers the slowest.

For best results treat once every 3 days.

Grow Your Clinic with PEMF QuantaEvery practice, clinic, and practitioner desires the same thing, more patients! And the easiest way to get what you want is to give your patients what they want, pain relief. Now you have a therapy that can handle it. And no clinic should be without one because with Quanta you can:

Increase Daily RevenuesQuanta is easy to integrate into your practice to grow your income. It is ideal for ‘softening up’ patients who are pain sensitive or tight before adjustment. Doctors earn an average of $50 per treatment. And the device is built to handle five sessions per hour, each lasting 10 minutes, for 8 to 10 hours per day. If you keep the machine busy from open until closing time, that adds up to an additional $2,000 to $2,500 in revenue per day with no additional marketing expense. Accept cash or insurance payments under the micro-current category.

Attract New PatientsFar from being unusual, chronic pain has become a way of life for over 100 million Americans of all ages according to the Institute of Medicine as of 2011. Based on this data, it’s safe to say there is a considerable lack of therapies for pain management that relieve the symptoms as well as address the deeper problem. How much would your clinic grow if you were filling demand for the hundreds of prospective patients suffering without a solution in your neighborhood?

Retain More PatientsAfter feeling the results for themselves just once, patients are more than happy to sign up for recurring treatment packages. Treatment protocols and durations depend on the condition, but packages of 2 treatments per week for 4 to 8 weeks are not uncommon for chronic conditions. After that period of time, the patient may desire to continue the same sessions to manage their chronic condition, purchase a new package with a different goal in mind, or add it as a helpful supplement to another modality they are using. With PEMF Quanta, there really is no limit to how it can be applied or how much better patients can feel.
