Accepted Answer

PEMF therapy offers a non-invasive treatment option that can help with pain management, improved circulation, reduced inflammation, enhanced cellular repair, and overall wellness.

Question 2

Are there any side effects of PEMF therapy for animals?

Accepted Answer

While PEMF therapy is generally safe for animals, some may experience mild side effects such as fatigue, energized, upset stomach or diarrhea if detoxing. It is essential to monitor the animal during sessions, keep your pet hydrated and consult with a veterinarian if any concerns arise.

Question 3

How does PEMF affect the cells?

Accepted Answer

(Please turn volume on)
PEMF therapy affects cells by inducing electrical changes within the cell membrane, leading to improved cellular function and communication.  Each cell within reach of the energy waves experiences higher activity as it was meant to be.

Higher cellular activity simply means these now healthy and very active cells enhance circulation which induces a reduction in inflammation, tissue regeneration, healthy cell regeneration, increased immune system to fight off sickness and promotes the natural healing processes the body was created to do.

Question 4

How often should PEMF sessions be conducted?

Accepted Answer

The million-dollar question!

The frequency of PEMF sessions varies based on the condition being treated and individual needs. Back-to-back sessions are ALWAYS recommended initially for optimal results. Back-to-back sessions prime the body to regenerate other healthy cells on its own.  As you can imagine this takes time and consistency to get the body maintaining a healthy body.  
It is recommended any animal starting PEMF begin with a loading period in order to get the best and longest lasting relief.  Loading periods also shorten how often sessions will be needed as each session can build upon the last one rather than playing catch up.

The goal is to get to a maintenance level based on the animals lifestyle. 
Consultation with professionals is advised for tailored plans.

Question 5

What are the differences between MagnaWave and Bemer blanket for PEMF therapy?

Accepted Answer

MagnaWave offers high-power PEMF therapy, which is effective for treating acute injuries, reducing chronic inflammation, and supporting rehabilitation in performance horses. On the other hand, Bemer blanket provides low-power PEMF therapy, ideal for enhancing relaxation, providing maintenance for overall health, and suitable for older horses needing gentle therapy.

Question 6

How deep does PEMF high power and low power penetrate?

Accepted Answer

High-power PEMF therapy can penetrate up to 8-16 inches into the body, reaching deep tissues and organs. On the other hand, low-power PEMF therapy can penetrate 1-2 inches targeting superficial tissues only.  This is a good option for in between high-power PEMF sessions.  
The actual depth of either power level depends on the structures the energy is penetrating.

For example:
- High power can penetrate everything including bone, tendons, ligaments, muscles etc.  The only thing it does NOT penetrate is metal, the energy will still go around metal in the case of implants or horseshoes.

- Low power energy is only able to reach the superficial tissues.  Unfortunately, the energy put off is to low to penetrate further.

Question 7

Does my pet need to rest after PEMF treatment?

Accepted Answer

No, your pet can resume normal activity immediately.

Resting does help the body heal and recover effectively but regardless of activity level the benefits of PEMF on a cellular level are not going to disappear.

Question 8

How deep does PEMF high-power and low-power penetrate?

Accepted Answer

High-power PEMF therapy can penetrate up to 6-8 inches into the body, reaching deep tissues and organs. On the other hand, low-power PEMF therapy can penetrate up to 2-4 inches, targeting superficial tissues and muscles.

Question 9

What animals can have PEMF treatment?

Accepted Answer

PEMF treatment can be beneficial for a wide range of animals, including horses, dogs, cats, and other companion animals. It is also used in livestock and exotic animals to promote healing and overall well-being.

Question 10

How long is an animal PEMF session?

Accepted Answer

The duration of an animal PEMF session can vary depending on the specific needs, size and condition of the animal. Typically, sessions range from 5 minutes to 1.5 hours with the frequency and intensity tailored to the individual animal's requirements.
The smaller the animal the less time they need.

Question 11

How soon will I see PEMF results on my animal?

Accepted Answer

The time to see results from PEMF therapy on each individual animal will vary depending on the condition being treated, the frequency of sessions, and the individual response of the animal. Some animals show immediate improvement and others take a few sessions.

The quickest improvement will be seen by doing a loading period.

It's essential to monitor your animal's progress and consult with a professional for guidance.
