Pulsed electromagnetic fields (PEMF’s) have been used to treat almost every conceivable human illness or malady, including many inflammatory diseases such as arthritis or psoriasis. PEMF therapy has been associated with pain reduction, and accelerated healing. PEMF’s exert these effects by regulating processes involving inflammation and autoimmune diseases, among other biologic actions.

What is Inflammation?

Inflammation is a cascade of physiologic processes instigated by the body to repair cellular damage in tissues with good blood supply and to restore the tissue to its normal function. Characteristic signs and symptoms that accompany inflammation include:

• redness generated by increased blood flow,
• heat generated by the metabolism of leukocytes and macrophages recruited to the damaged site,
• swelling due to edema, and
• pain caused by the production of pro-inflammatory prostaglandins.
