Pulsed
Electromagnetic Field Therapy (PEMF), also called
Pulsed Magnetic Therapy, is a reparative technique most commonly used in
the field of orthopedics for the treatment of non-union fractures, failed
fusions, and congenital pseudarthrosis. PEMF uses
electrical energy to direct a series of magnetic pulses through injured tissue
whereby each magnetic pulse induces a tiny electrical signal that stimulates
cellular repair. Many studies have also demonstrated the effectiveness of PEMF
in healing soft-tissue wounds; suppressing inflammatory responses at the cell
membrane level to alleviate pain, and increasing range of motion. The value of
pulsed electromagnetic field therapy has been shown to cover a wide range of
conditions, with well documented trials carried out by hospitals,
rheumatologists and physiotherapists. There are several electrical stimulation
therapy devices, approved by the FDA, that are widely available to patients for
use. These devices provide an additive solution that aid in bone growth and
repair. [1][2]

In our
Narrabeen office we have a BEMER SLT unit which is a powerful therapy unit with
a laser. We also have a BEMER 3000 mat for home hire. In general we recommend
daily treatment at home with the BEMER 3000 backed up by 1-2 SLT sessions per
week.
BEMER
therapy uses an exactly dosed pulsating electromagnetic field to stimulate
cellular metabolism, circulation and oxygen uptake. It helps you cells to be
healthy.
Treatment
programs are set individually and generally change over the course of the
treatment.
There are
no known contra-indications to this therapy.
Please view
the video for more information on how the therapy works.
BEMER
therapy can be used for general health improvement, cosmetic improvement of
skin, through to wound and bone healing.
In our
office we generally use it for:
•
Reducing
inflammation and swelling
•
Relief
for sufferers of chronic conditions: fibromyalgia, chronic fatigue syndrome,
rheumatoid arthritis
•
Skin
conditions - acne, scar tissue, psoriasis, wound healing
•
Boosting
your immune system and fighting infections
•
post-operative
speeding up wound healing and recovery times
Tennis
Ace, Roger Federer, and Olympic Gold Medal Snowboarder Torah Bright use this
therapy to speed up recovery times after training and
competitions.
It
attracts over 300,000 medical practitioners, clinics, hospitals, and private
users worldwide. Although popular in Europe it is still relatively new in
Australia.
