Pulse Electromagnetic Field Therapy Asheville
Non-Invasive Care That Works with Your Body
Here at Asheville Non-Surgical Orthopedics, Dr. Pinkston and our team are committed to providing treatment that is both effective and as minimally invasive as possible. We believe in the body’s ability to heal itself, and we are eager to support its natural recovery processes! To that end, we offer a range of regenerative treatments that work with your body, including Pulse Electromagnetic Field (PEMF) Therapy. What exactly is PEMF, and what can you expect from it? This page explains. You are also welcome to call us if you have any questions.
What Is PEMF Therapy?
Pulse Electromagnetic Field Therapy introduces low-level, targeted electromagnetic waves into your body through a specialized device. This innovative approach interacts directly with your cells and tissues, thereby supporting your body's natural recovery and optimizing its function. It encourages cellular repair, supports healthy circulation (which helps deliver important healing factors to damaged tissues), and works to restore the electrical balance in your cells. It can reduce pain and inflammation, improve energy levels, reduce stress, and offer a range of other benefits.
A PEMF session usually lasts 15 – 30 minutes, and you may need several sessions to derive the greatest possible benefits from your treatment plan. PEMF is often used as a great complement to other non-invasive orthopedic treatments.
The Benefits of PEMF Therapy
PEMF therapy can contribute to your overall well-being in multiple ways. It can:
- Support your body’s healing process as you recover from various types of injuries.
- Reduce overall pain and discomfort.
- Increase your range of motion and flexibility.
- Boost your overall energy levels.
- Enhance whole body wellness.
- Work with other treatments to optimize your results.
- Improve circulation and oxygenation
- Support bone health
- Enhance nerve function
There is even evidence to suggest that the benefits of PEMF go beyond the physical; many patients experience a reduction in anxiety and depression after a series of PEMF sessions.
Who Can PEMF Therapy Help?
PEMF therapy is suitable for a broad range of patients. You may find it helpful if you wish to support your body's recovery from injury or manage ongoing discomfort. After a thorough evaluation, Dr. Pinkston and our team can determine if it could play an important role in helping you reach your health and mobility goals.
PEMF is very safe for most people, though it is not recommended for pregnant individuals, those with pacemakers, anyone who is actively bleeding, or people with certain other health conditions. Our team will screen you for such contraindications so you can be confident in the safety and efficacy of our recommended treatment plan.
