What Is PEMF Therapy, and How Does It Relieve Chronic Pain?
Dealing with chronic pain can affect your ability to work, sleep, and maintain relationships with friends and family. If pain medication is no longer working or is causing uncomfortable side effects, Dr. Eric Marshall and our team at Marshall Family Chiropractic can help. We specialize in the treatment of chronic pain caused by arthritis, plantar fasciitis, and sports, work, and auto injuries. One of the most effective methods of pain relief for chronic neck, shoulder, and back pain is PEMF therapy. Here is your guide to PEMF therapy in Saint Clair, MI, and how it works to relieve chronic pain.
What Is PEMF Therapy?
PEMF therapy, or pulsed electromagnetic field therapy, is a non-invasive and nonsurgical treatment option for chronic pain. During treatment, we will use a small device to direct electromagnetic pulses of energy to targeted areas. The treatment doesn’t cause any pain or discomfort or require any recovery time.
What Conditions are Treated with PEMF?
PEMF is a safe, effective way to relieve chronic pain from a wide range of injuries and conditions, including:
- Repetitive stress injuries
- Overuse injuries
- Sports injuries
- Work injuries
- Auto injuries
- Tendonitis and bursitis
- Muscle sprains and strains
- Arthritis
- TMJ disorder
- Plantar fasciitis
- Burns
- Shoulder pain
- Back pain
- Neck pain
- Joint pain
How Does PEMF Therapy Treat Chronic Pain?
As your body absorbs electromagnetic energy during treatment, it stimulates biological healing processes. PEMF therapy alters the electrical activity of cells, which can jump start cellular repair, decrease inflammation, improve circulation, and reduce pain. Over time, it can increase the production of protein phosphorylation and adenosine triphosphate, which enhances cellular function and healing.
Why Choose PEMF Therapy Over Pain Medication?
Pain medication can cause unwanted and uncomfortable side effects that disrupt your daily routine and diminish your quality of life. With increased use, you will have increased reliance and may need more and more medication to function. You may develop fatigue, dizziness, disorientation, migraines, dry mouth, stomach problems, and other side effects. PEMF therapy is non-invasive, all-natural, and can reduce your reliance on medication. It offers lasting, sustainable results with no downtime or recovery time. It also addresses the root cause of your pain and stimulates healing, rather than just temporarily masking pain.
