PEMF for Personal injury
PEMF is a non-invasive therapy that uses electromagnetic fields to stimulate and energize the cells in the body.
PEMF magnetic pulses penetrate tissue layers and induce muscle relaxation, lower nerve irritability as well as stimulate blood and lymph circulation. Through these actions PEMF therapy reduces pain, swelling and inflammation, promotes cellular and nerve regeneration, strengthens bones, and accelerates fracture repair.
PEMF therapy improves cellular membrane permeability as the pulses mechanically contract the cell and activate the ion (Sodium / Potassium) pump by opening and closing the ion channels through the membrane. More oxygen and nutrients enter the cells, and more carbon dioxide and waste products are carried out of the cells. PEMF therapy stimulates overall tissue healing and immune system response.
PEMF therapy treats inflamed and painful areas safely and with no known undesirable side effects or down time. Because of its many positive biological effects, PEMF therapy helps the body’s natural processes and promotes healing. High Powered PEMF increases blood circulation in and around damaged tissue and helps damaged cells heal. As blood flow increases, so does the oxygen intake. PEMF therapy has been proven to effectively increase blood flow and provide muscle relaxation with better oxygenation of the muscle tissue.
This process can significantly reduce recovery time from an accident or injury by enhancing cellular activity, improving circulation, promoting tissue regeneration and accelerating fracture recovery (by as much as 40%).
RTI’s proprietary Whole Body (neurological, metabolic and spinal) Protocols specifically work all areas, organs and systems of the body creating a systemic improvement phenomenon that has broad application to healing that has broad application to the many uses PEMF has been shown to positively impact as referenced in RTI’s lookup research page
RTI protocols also include specific rehab protocols for joints, the back, the spine and body systems incorporating complementary tools (like Pelvic Correction Technique from our Replenishing Care Model) to amplify the benefits of PEMF.
