Pulsed electromagnetic field therapy (PEMF) at Holon in Glasgow

PEMF (Pulsed Electromagnetic Field Therapy) in Glasgow

Pulsed Electromagnetic Fields (PEMF) therapy is a non-invasive technology that uses gentle electrical charges to increase the voltage capacity of your cell. Therapy with pulsed electromagnetic fields may lead to more energy, better recovery and overall wellbeing. These controlled electromagnetic impulses may be especially helpful as a tool to promote healing from injuries.

What Is It?

Pulsed electromagnetic field therapy uses electromagnetic fields with varying frequencies and intensities to promote health and well-being. A PEMF device produces a magnetic field that improves current flow to nearby tissues. One of the fundamental aspects of PEMF therapy is the application of pulsating electromagnetic fields to the body to stimulate processes and support various physiological functions on a cellular level.

More information

Frequency Variability

Different devices can produce electromagnetic fields with a range of frequencies, from extremely low frequencies (ELF) to radio frequencies (RF) and high-intensity (HI) frequencies. The selection of frequencies depends on the therapeutic goals and the specific application of the therapy. With pulse electromagnetic therapy, the PEMF devices only focus on frequencies for electromagnetic therapy.

Non-Invasive Application

PEMF electromagnetic therapy is generally non-invasive. The device can be applied externally, and the electromagnetic fields can penetrate tissues to reach cells and cellular structures.

Applicability to Various Areas of the Body

A PEMF therapy device can target specific areas of the body or applied more generally for systemic effects. 

Main Benefits

The benefits of PEMF therapy has been explored for various health conditions, including but not limited to:

  • Chronic pain management
  • Joint and musculoskeletal disorders
  • Osteopenia or osteoporosis
  • Wound healing
  • Neurological conditions
  • Chronic inflammation in joints or the soft tissues
  • Conditions involving inflammation
  • Sleep disturbances
  • Chronic fatigue symptoms or chronic fatigue syndrome
  • Fracture healing
  • Peripheral neuropathy

How does it work?

Electromagnetic fields (EMFs) are all around us. The Earth continuously generates different EMFs that affects every cell in the human body. Each cell acts like a battery, powering various body elements and functions. Beneficial EMF exposure can ensure you maintain a high cellular charge, causing your cells to expand, contract, recharge, refuel, repair, produce energy, absorb nutrients, and more.

That’s where PEMF therapy comes in. We use a pulsed electromagnetic field (PEMF) system called HAELO. The PEMF technology stimulates the body’s natural healing process through improved microcirculation, cellular oxygenation, and cell function.

Cellular-Level Effects

Pulsed electromagnetic fields may influence cellular processes by affecting ion flow across cell membranes. This, in turn, can impact cellular functions, including energy production and signalling pathways.

Blood Flow and Vascular Effects

Electromagnetic pulse therapy is thought to influence blood flow and vascular function. It may stimulate vasodilation and improve blood circulation, enhancing oxygen and nutrient delivery to tissues.

Anti-Inflammatory Effects

Some studies suggest that PEMF therapy may have anti-inflammatory effects, which could be relevant for conditions associated with inflammation and aid with pain relief.

Tissue Repair and Regeneration

The low intensity exposure can activate various cellular signalling pathways. This includes those involved in cell survival, proliferation, and anti-apoptotic (anti-cell death) processes.

Neurological Effects

Certain frequencies of pulsed electromagnetic therapy are believed to influence neurological processes. This has led to investigations into the potential benefits of PEMF for conditions affecting the nervous system.

Haelo tested benefits

Muscle Recovery

A 2021 study found that when athletes used HAELO every day for two weeks, they saw a steady 11% increase in overall recovery. That’s a large increase for anyone, and it’s especially valuable if you compete in a sport.

Deeper Sleep

That same 2021 study also found that people who used HAELO daily experienced an 18% increase in deep sleep and an 11% increase in sleep efficiency.

Better Cardio

Athletes who used HAELO every day saw a 5% increase in long-term cardio performance, measured by how elastic their arteries were. After using HAELO on a regular basis for 14 days, athletes had more elastic arteries — a sign that their arteries could send oxygen through their system more efficiently, improving long-term cardio.
