    PEMF therapy

    PEMF (pulsed electromagnetic field) uses controlled magnetic pulses in the µT–mT range that penetrate tissue and induce very weak electric currents (Faraday's law). These microcurrents do not "hit" nerves like electrostimulation — they modulate cellular processes: inflammation, microcirculation, pain signalling, regeneration.

    PEMF therapy
    COILPULSED FIELD

    The pulsed magnetic field supports bioelectric activity and microcirculation.

    How does it work?

    The method has been used in medicine for decades, longest in orthopaedics for bone healing, and works in a frequency range close to the body's own electrical processes — with no thermal effect.

    What it is
    Pulsed electromagnetic field therapy with individually set programmes. The aim is modulation of tissue bioelectric activity, microcirculation, pain, recovery and autonomic regulation.
    Described in the literature
    • Membrane potential and ion channels
      The pulsed field influences ion-channel opening probability — especially calcium. Ca²⁺ is a central second messenger for inflammatory genes, muscle tone and nerve excitability.
    • Anti-inflammatory signalling
      An influence on adenosine receptors (A2A/A3) — the body's inflammation "brake" — is described.
    • Nitric oxide and microcirculation
      In multiple models PEMF is linked to NO signalling — key for vasodilation, endothelial function and tissue healing.
    • Bone remodelling
      The oldest clinical application: stimulation of osteoblast activity and local circulation. An early controlled osteoarthritis trial is Trock et al. (1994).

    How does it go at our centre?

    Pulsed electromagnetic field therapy with individually set programmes. The aim is modulation of tissue bioelectric activity, microcirculation, pain, recovery and autonomic regulation.

    • Session: 20–40 minutes (night modes for certain applications).
    • Typical course: 3–5 times weekly at first, 8–15 sessions, then maintenance.
    • Parameters (frequency, intensity, waveform) are set individually per the doctor's plan.
    • Common pairings: PEMF + PBM + H₂; for pain — PEMF + TECAR/PMCT; for sleep — with HRV follow-up.

    Combinations: PEMF + PBM + H₂; for pain PEMF + TECAR/PMCT; for disturbed sleep — with HRV follow-up.

    What does it combine with — and why?

    The combinations come from the protocols — each one has a physiological reason, not a sales one.

    Combination

    + TECAR

    For acute injury: TECAR first (pain and swelling down fast), PEMF after (cellular recovery). Local and systemic effects do not overlap.
    TECAR therapy
    Combination

    + Photobiomodulation (PBM)

    For recovery and sleep: light feeds energy metabolism, the field guides autonomic regulation — measurable via HRV.
    Photobiomodulation (PBM)
    Combination

    + Hydrogen inhalation (H₂)

    H₂ protects mitochondria in field-stimulated cells and lowers the post-session inflammatory response.

    When is it not done?

    Contraindications are checked before every procedure — which is why they stand here, before the booking, not at the door.

    Contraindications

    Pacemakers, ICDs and active implants, pregnancy, epilepsy with certain protocols, acute bleeding and severe acute conditions — medical assessment is mandatory.

    What it does not do

    PEMF does not replace medical treatment. It is not applied with pacemakers, ICDs and other active implants, or in pregnancy; with epilepsy — only with individual medical judgement. International exposure guidelines exist for low-frequency fields (ICNIRP 2010).

    A doctor decides

    Whether this procedure is suitable for you is decided by a doctor after the initial assessment and a contraindication check.
