Pulsed Electromagnetic Field Therapy (PEMF) is an emerging and innovative approach to promoting overall health and well-being. This non-invasive and drug-free therapy harnesses the power of electromagnetic fields to stimulate cellular activity and enhance the body's natural healing processes.
1. Pain Management
One of the most widely recognized benefits of PEMF is its effectiveness in managing pain. Whether chronic or acute, pain is a common ailment that can significantly impact one's quality of life. PEMF works by reducing inflammation and promoting the release of endorphins, the body's natural painkillers. This makes it a valuable tool for individuals suffering from conditions such as arthritis, fibromyalgia, and musculoskeletal injuries.
2. Accelerated Healing
PEMF has shown promise in expediting the healing process for various injuries and wounds. By enhancing blood flow and increasing oxygenation at the cellular level, PEMF supports the body's natural regenerative abilities. This makes it particularly beneficial for athletes recovering from sports injuries, individuals healing from surgeries, and those with fractures or sprains.
3. Relaxation
PEMF stimulates brain waves in a way that helps the horse's (or person's) nervous system to go from a sympathetic (anxiety, flight or fight, state) to a parasympathetic state. In this state endorphins are produced resulting in calmness and relaxation. This is why you will often see horses yawning, licking, and chewing, when they are getting a PEMF session.
Infrared radiation (IR) is a promising complementary treatment for musculoskeletal conditions and chronic pain The penetration of IR to the human body varies depending on the wavelength of infrared light and to the structure, vascular consistency, and pigmentation of the skin. The shorter the wavelength, the greater the penetration depth; in particular, IR-A can penetrate up to 5 mm. IR-C and IR-B have smaller penetration depths .
1. Pinpoints Acute Injuries
IR therapy is beneficial to use directly on smaller areas of the body that need more intense therapy due to injury. Some example would be using it on a bowed or torn tendon, on a splint, or on a small wound. In these types of cases shorter (5-7 minute sessions) done more frequently (4 days per week for 3-4 weeks) is the best protocol.
2. Helps with Pain Relief
IR-is associated with improvement in blood circulation can promote injury and pressure sores healing, decrease muscle spasms and improve the sensory nerve conduction velocity, and potentially increase endorphins modulating pain
3. Speeds Up Healing Time
There are three types of IR light waves. Near, mid, and far. Studies have shown that near IR is the preferred level of intensity for healing injuries and wounds. The EquiSculpt Pro IR strength runs from 620nm-920nm, which falls under the spectrum of near IR. This makes it a great choice to use on both animals and humans for the benefits of IR therapy.
