Pulsed ElectroMagnetic Field (PEMF)

The electromagnetic spectrum encompasses both natural and human-made sources of electromagnetic fields. Electric fields exist whenever charge is present and are measured in volts per metre (V/m). Magnetic fields arise from current flow. Their flux densities are measured in microtesla (µT) or millitesla (mT). Research on PEMF shows that it improves the healing of non-union fractures, reduces inflammation, and helps improve nerve function post injury.

At Roaring Fork Animal Rehabilitation & Fitness we use PEMF to help patients feel better after surgery, help reduce osteoarthritis pain, to help improve strength, and to allow nerves to communicate with weak muscles.
