How Does PEMF Therapy Work?
The science behind PEMF is a well-studied practice (here's an example) that’s been around for more than a hundred years. It’s used by healthcare providers to diminish pain, stimulate immune support, improve physical and mental performance, and enhance brain function (as well as much more).
According to research from Yale Medical University from as far back as 1932, they discovered that the depletion of electrical energy from the body is the root cause of general poor health. PEMF, or pulsed electromagnetic field, is a source of energy that helps the body repair/regenerate/rebuild naturally, enhancing the functionality of the body's cells.
How Can Pulsed Electromagnetic Field Therapy Help You?
Harold Saxton Burr (1889-1973), Professor at Yale University School of Medicine, researched the energy fields of organisms. He discovered that measurable imbalances in the electrical field of an organ come before the onset of pathology. If the electrical imbalance is corrected, the disease does not present. The application of PEMF can bring our cells back into electrical balance, restoring the body’s natural ability to deliver nutrients to stressed and damaged tissues.
Over the past 40 years, medical researchers all over the world have studied the effects of PEMF, conducting thousands of peer-reviewed studies. As a result of such research, in 1979 the FDA approved PEMF for use in stimulating bone growth; in 1987 for adjunct therapy to treat postoperative pain and edema; in 2004 for use as an adjunct to cervical fusion surgery; and in 2011 for treatment of depression in patients unresponsive to medication. PEMF is even used by NASA for reversing the bone loss and muscle degeneration experienced by astronauts on long space missions.
Benefits of PEMF Therapy
- Alleviate pain and reduce inflammation
- Stimulate tissue healing & strengthen bones
- Relieve injury and fatigue
- Support neurotransmitter balance
- Reduce stress and increase relaxation
- Achieve a deeper, more restorative sleep
Imagine Your Body As A Battery
Imagine your body as a battery — daily stressors slowly drain your body of its energy to function at its best. By the end of the day, you’re mentally, physically, and emotionally drained. That’s where PEMF therapy devices come in! PEMF therapy is like re-energizing your internal battery. To function optimally the energy needs to be restored. Research and overwhelming anecdotal evidence confirms using Pulse technology will truly enhance your energy.
Who Cannot Receive PEMF Therapy?
Patients with an implanted electronic device, including: pacemaker, defibrillator, cochlear hearing device, spinal stimulator, etc. Patients were are pregnant, actively bleeding, hemorrhaging, or during heavy menstruation are advised not to have this therapy.
What Can I Expect During a PEMF Therapy Session?
A typical session is approximately 16 minutes long, depending on the your condition and need. First, you will lay down on the therapy table. The PEMF will either work through the table itself, through one of the accessories, or a combination of the two. We will set the level for the pulses per second (PPS) and begin to turn up the magnetic field strength (MFS). We're looking for an intensity level of 6 - 7 out of 10, not "as much as you can take." The pulsing should be set to an overall comfortable level.
You may notice that the areas that need it the most seem to feel the pulses the strongest. For example, you're laying on the table, where your entire body has the opportunity to receive the pulse. However, the left chronic shoulder problem you have will tend to feel the pulsing with the most intensity. This is normal and means those areas are being helped.
Patients will frequently combine PEMF therapy in Houston with our additional services, including chiropractic care and spinal decompression therapy.
What Can I Expect After a PEMF Therapy Session?
Most patients feel great! The decrease in pain and increase in energy is felt by most patients almost right away. The effect will last hours to days depending on the patient. The sessions do build on each other, so you will start to notice a cumulative effect where the good feeling lasts longer over time.
If you experience any negative PEMF therapy side effects, you'll notice those will also minimize after a few sessions. We will have some nutritional recommendations should you have any of those effects. Most common negative effect is feeling tired. This is due to the detoxing that can occur and won't last long for most people.
Are There Any Side Effects of PEMF Therapy?
Most patients only feel great following PEMF therapy sessions, but some patients may experience one or more of the following; oxidative stress, a temporary increase in pain, decreased blood pressure, a fall in blood sugar levels, fatigue on exertion, sleep disturbances, loss of energy or interest in day-to-day activities, dizziness and increased urination.
Many medical practitioners consider PEMF therapy as a generally safe and non-invasive technique. Most of the side effects disappear or decrease as the therapy progresses and the body becomes more and more accustomed to PEMF therapy. Most patients exhibit less side effects or adverse effects when nutritional supplements are administered before PEMF therapy is started.

Additional Frequently Asked Questions About PEMF Therapy
Your number of PEMF sessions will vary based on how healthy you are, the nature of your problem/condition, and how long you've had the problem. Most initial treatment plans will start with 12 - 25 sessions over a period of approximately 3 months. Many patients continue to do PEMF once the initial treatment plan has been completed on a weekly or bi-weekly basis.
Patients that have any implanted electronic device like a pacemaker or spine stimulator cannot utilize this non-invasive pain therapy. PEMF therapy is also not recommended for pregnant patients or patients with active cancer. Patients with recent fractures do very well with PEMF therapy, as the healing is increased and the time to heal is significantly improved.
Unfortunately, no health insurance companies cover PEMF therapy. When we determine a treatment plan for you following your initial evaluation, we will make our recommendations on the number of sessions and payment options will be provided for you at that time. We do offer packages and other discount opportunities for patients wanting to implement PEMF therapy.
Most patients report an improvement in their symptoms and that they sleep like a baby after their first session. Less than 10% of patients feel a "detox effect" - so we encourage drinking plenty of water after your first session. Most patients will feel energized throughout the day following their first PEMF session.
Many patients feel like anything electrical stimulation feels like a "TENS machine" but that's not how PEMF feels. It's a "pulsed" treatment, so you will here a "ticking" sound with each pulse. You may feel your muscle twitch and grab, but it's tough to fully explain how PEMF feels until you try it for yourself.
PEMF therapy is not painful. We will set the machine to the doctor's recommendations and then turn up the intensity level to your comfort. Since a PEMF session lasts approximately 16 minutes, you'll want to be at a level you can comfortably sustain for that time period. We do let you turn up or turn down the intensity throughout the session based on your comfort level. It should not be "see how much you can take" but rather get to an intensity level of 6 based on a 1-10 scale. However, it should never be painful.
