Pulse Electromagnetic Wave Field Therapy has been shown to have a beneficial effect on many types of wound, including leg and heel ulcers, pressure sores, sports injuries, non-union fractures, post-operative wounds and also dermatological conditions. Treatment can be repeated as often as required.

Therapy Duration:  8 minutes

Ulcers are wounds or fissures in the surface of the skin that will not heal quickly or even at all. These include venous leg or heel ulcers and pressure sores (bed sores for instance).

Pulsed electromagnetic wave field therapy stimulates macrophage and pluripotent stem cell activity to combat infection, and accelerate scab formation and wound healing, all of which are important parts of the healing process.

In the natural healing of bone fractures, the affected tissues generate small electric charges which are greater than those of less stressed matter. These charges attract bone-laying cells, osteoblasts, to these areas. The osteoblast builds extra bone material. Pulsed electromagnetic wave field therapy may encourage this process.
With bone injuries, bleeding occurs to form a haematoma in which capillaries quickly form, transporting enriched blood to the injury site. PEMFT may stimulate vasodilation and capillary dilation, which helps to speed up the process of bone repair or formation.

Pulsed electromagnetic wave field therapy may help activate macrophages (tissue cells which give protection against infections) and, through that process, strengthens the immunological system.

Within the bone itself, the pulsed electromagnetism delivered by PEMFT may cause the induction of small eddy currents in the trace elements. These currents help purify and strengthen the crystal structures, a process which helps attracts bone cells to the area under treatment. In this way, PEMFT may accelerate bone healing, which assists earlier mobilisation and eventual ful bone union.

In the Wound Relief setting, PainSolv® may be appropriate for the treatment of damaged ligaments and tendons.
