A Magna Wave PEMF or pulsed electro-magnetic field machine converts the electrical current from the outlet to a series of short, high magnitude, complex magnetic pulses that travel from the main unit through the loop. As the loop is placed on or over the body, the ultra-fast magnetic pulses stimulate the natural electric charge found within every living cell. This stimulation restores “sick” cells to their normal, electric, healthy state. PEMF therapy induces currents in tissues, whereas electrical stimulation (ie TENS units) apply currents to tissues. PEMF is said to stimulate cell metabolism, increase oxygenation, and reduce inflammation. This action is thought to cause a chain of processes in the body that could lead to improvement of health without side effects. Magna Wave PEMF is thought to increase ATP levels and the signal is able to penetrate the cell wall to increase its permeability, deliver more oxygen & rid waste products such as carbon dioxide, lactic acid, heavy metals, etc helping the body heal itself naturally. Many clinical trials have demonstrated that PEMF works by stimulating cells electrically, magnetically, chemically, and physically. These beneficial effects are harnessed to treat tendon and ligament injury, sore backs, sore knees, chronic soreness, sore shoulders, non-union fractures, chronic internal inflammation, non-healing wounds, and much more. Treatments typically last 30 minutes or more, and are not stressful; rather they are calming and relaxing.
