• 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.
• • Magnetic fields cause or increase motion of ions and electrolytes in the tissues and fluids of the body. Increased motion of ions and electrolytes via pulsing magnetic fields to increase cell energy (or “charge”) . Cerebral blood flow is enhanced.
• • If more than one coil is used then pulsing in all coils must be synchronized in order to increase effectiveness
• • A series of small coils are more effective than one bigger coil • LOCATION, LOCATION, LOCATION

Nikola Tesla is often considered by historians to be the father of modern electrotherapy because of his research into electromagnetism. His methods and patents in the early 1900s for the Tesla coil that were used for power distribution transformers were also used for electromagnetic medical devices. These devices were often large round solenoid coils of wire that would surround the patient while they would stand or lay on a bed while and the coils of wire were energized directly from the 50 or 60 Hz sine wave electrical system. The patient would usually experience an immediate relief in pain.

Do not confuse low intensity pEMF (up to 2 gauss per coil) with high intensity rTMS (10,000 gauss).

Low intensity pEMF has the potential of healing cells at the cortical layer.

High intensity rTMS has causes a hyperpolarized state at the neuronal membrane. Hyperpolarization and depolarization are related to the chemical/electrical activity of nerve cells and action potentials. This treatment has been FDA approved for drug-resistant depression. Medical doctors are approved to use this (very expensive) equipment.
