The benefits of PEMF have been discovered in thousands of clinical trials globally and have resulted in FDA approvals for use in bone healing, depression, tissue repair, and cancer. New York PEMF was created after its founders experienced the healing power of PEMF on sports injuries and fatigue. 

Clinical Research on PEMF

In 1979, the FDA approved PEMF Therapy for the healing of nonunion fractures. In 1998, the FDA approved PEMF Therapy for urinary incontinence and muscle stimulation. In 2004, the FDA approved PEMF Therapy for cervical fusion patients at high-risk of non-fusion. In 2006, the FDA approved PEMF Therapy for treatment of depression and anxiety. In 2011, the FDA approved PEMF Therapy for treatment of brain cancer.

PEMF has been studied extensively for use following surgery and injuries to bone, muscles, ligaments and tendons and magnetic energy has been shown to redirect electrical impulses that cause pain. James Dillard, MD, who practices integrative pain medicine in New York, prescribes magnetic therapy for both chronic and acute pain. And PEMF is also used to treat fibromyalgia. In fact in Japan, there is no such thing as Fibromyalgia, it is instead called “Magnetic Field Deficiency Syndrome.”

Clinical Research supports the use of PEMF in the following indications

·      Addiction and Substance Abuse

·      Anxiety and Depression

·      Arthritis

·       Bone healing

·       Cancer

·       Cellular detox

·       Fatigue

·       Inflammation

·       Immune system dysfunction

·       Joint Repair and Replacement

·       Migraine

·       Nerve Repair

·       Osteoarthritis

·       Pain and Fibromyalgia

·       Plastic Surgery and Post-Op Healing

·       Prostate Enlargement

·       Psychiatric Conditions (OCD, Bipolar, Panic disorders)

·       Skin tightening and collagen production

·       Stroke

·       Tendon and muscle Injuries

·       Wound and scar healing

PEMF therapy is now FDA approved to treat brain cancer, bone fractures, migraines, depression, incontinence, muscle stimulation and post-surgical pain and swelling. Because it promotes cellular voltage, and therefor more efficient blood flow and tissue oxygenation, PEMF can be used for detoxification and in conjunction with traditional medical practices for healing a wide range of illnesses.

Connection to Chinese Medicine

Ancient Chinese teachings profess that humans need two environmental signals: the Yang (masculine) signal from above and the Yin (feminine) signal from below. Respected physicist and nobel prize winner Dr. Wolfgang Ludwig found that the relatively strong signal of the Schumann wave surrounding our planet represented Yang and the weaker geomagnetic waves coming from below, from within the planet, presented a Yin signal and both signals must be in balance to achieve perfect health. Indeed, further research carried out at the University of Duesseldorf showed that human exposure to only one side of the Schumann (Yang) wave simulation without the geomagnetic (Yin) signal caused serious health problems.
