PEMF and bone healing
PEMF has been examined for 40+ years as a means of helping bones heal themselves. The Magnawave Semi-10 uses frequencies between 1-20 Hz depending on the setting. The magnetic field has a max of 4,700 G at the highest setting. As the setting increases the frequency decreases and the magnetic field increases. A table…

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…

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
How does extremely low frequency electromagnetic radiation interact with TRPC1 channels? What are the down stream effects of this interaction?
