PEMF for inflammation
Professional organizations like MagnaWave and AOPP claim that PEMF relieves inflammation. How this happens is largely unknown. The featured image came from a review on how charges in solution line up on surface charges. from metals, to metal oxides, to ion exchange membranes, and finally biological membranes. Some images of skin and bone joints…

PEMF eNOS PI3K
This post looks at Li 2015, a delightfully simple publication that explores the use of a very specific type of PEMF to counter the tissue damage that proceeds femoral artery excision in a mouse model of peripheral artery disease. While this is not the exact same as a branch of the femoral artery being…

electrical stimulation and hind limb unloading
Many PEMF practitioners use PEMF when an animal, including humans, has an injured limb and loss of use of the associated skeletal muscle. Some may argue that PEMF resembles electrical stimulation via Faraday’s Law of Induction. PEMF seems to act on the ERK signaling cascade in cultured myoblasts. [1] Electrical muscle stimulation in a…

TRPC1 and PEMF
This post takes the model of Franco-Obregon 2023 that the QuantumTx brand of PEMF gates calcium currents of the transient receptor potential (TRP) family member TRPC1 by way of producing reactive oxygen species that modify the TRPC1 channel. There are some cysteines near some regulatory phosphorylation sites, calcium calmodulin binding sites, and ankyrin repeats,…
