What Are the Benefits of PEMF Therapy?
PEMF therapy has been shown to offer a myriad of benefits that can help your equine partner feel their best and take better strides. This is one of the best ways to support the long-term well-being of your horse.
PEMF manages pain, reduces inflammation, and facilitates joint movement as well as tissue health. The technology has been around since the 1970s, when it was introduced for the treatment of complex fractures and other bone injuries. Since then, it has been discovered that PEMF can also help maintain tissue health throughout the body and can also reduce pain and discomfort.
Benefits of PEMF Therapy
PEMF offers the following benefits:
· Reduces pain
· Improves tissue health
· Supports longevity
· Improves flexibility
· Improves anxiety and stress
· Helps cell regeneration
· Improves blood circulation
· Increases oxygen intake
The improvements that PEMF can offer are delivered at a cellular level, but horses also exhibit increased relaxation and other benefits when offered supportive care with PEMF. This is one of the best ways to support the benefits of massage and red light therapy, but PEMF can also be offered to equines as a standalone therapy.
PEMF is a safe and effective therapy modality. It utilizes safe magnetic pulses to improve tissue health and well-being. PEMF therapy delivers exponential improvement over time as well, which means that utilizing this therapy protocol on a regular basis can help your horse overcome long-term physical challenges that might not have shown improvement when addressed with other care modalities.
Study on the potential of PEMF continues to be done, both in human medicine as well as veterinary environments. This exciting technology appears to have many more applications that will become part of the treatment landscape in both human and equine medicine.

PEMF in Conjunction With Other Therapy Modalities
PEMF therapy works well in tandem with other therapy modalities, such as TENS unit services, massage therapy, and red light therapy. Each of these treatment modalities can be added as required to PEMF services to help improve outcomes, ease pain and tension in the body, and resolve specific issues that each patient is experiencing.
Massage: Massage improves circulation, reduces pain, and helps to remove muscle adhesions. Massage is also relaxing, and can be an ideal way to promote long-term muscular and skeletal health.
Red Light Therapy: Red light therapy has been proven to improve cell regeneration rates, increase blood flow, and improve joint pain. Red light therapy can also offer relaxation and a general feeling of well-being.
TENS Unit Services: TENS unit services stimulate endorphins, reduce pain, and change pain perception. This service can be ideal for trigger points that are tough to relax, and it can also offer targeted relief for areas where nerve pain is impacting performance and overall well-being.
When paired with quality PEMF services, these other treatment modalities can improve outcomes, help our equine partners to be calm and happy on a daily basis, and reduce pain and discomfort.
