Feel Better FL FAQs: All About PEMF Therapy
At Feel Better FL, we're dedicated to providing cutting-edge wellness solutions to help our clients live their best lives. One of the key technologies we utilize is PEMF therapy. If you're curious about how PEMF therapy works and its safety, you're in the right place. Here are some frequently asked questions about PEMF therapy:
How does PEMF work? PEMF or pulsed electromagnetic fields stimulate and exercise the body’s cells. The trillions of cells in our bodies face environmental stressors every day. Like batteries that rapidly lose energy, cells may need to be recharged to perform their daily functions best and maintain homeostasis within the body’s complex systems.
Is PEMF a new technology? North America has adopted PEMF as a reputable wellness modality, with thousands of studies proving the incredible benefits. PEMF technology has been safely used throughout Europe and other countries for over 50 years.
Is PEMF safe to use? Please read all product disclaimers before pulsing, and consult your licensed healthcare professional if you have concerns. PEMF has been a trusted technology for decades. Nonelectrical implants are usually not an issue when using PEMF. Implanted electronic devices (such as a pacemaker, defibrillator, or cochlear hearing device), pregnancy, active bleeding, blood clots, and organ transplants are contraindications to pulsed electromagnetic fields. In these cases, PEMF may not be an option for you.
What should I expect during a session? Experiences will contrast due to several factors, such as the settings, accessories used, and your wellness. Most people experience the following during their first session:
Slight/small muscle contractions
Movement of the pulsing action as it stimulates the different regions of the body
Potential lightheadedness or nausea
Detectable pulsing and stimulation in certain areas
Areas of sensitiveness
Communication is critical to this process as your feedback will inform the determinations of your Certified Pulse PEMF Professional. If you are feeling any discomfort, ask them to reduce the strength or shift you to the cooldown portion of the session.
How is PEMF different from harmful EMFs? Various research studies have recognized harmful electromagnetic fields (EMF) to have significantly higher frequencies and lower wavelengths than PEMF. Instead of intense, lethal radiation, PEMF releases pulsed fields of electromagnetic energy to exercise and stimulate the cells. For example, mobile phones release around 900-1800 MHz EMFs, whereas Pulse PEMF systems remain under 10 Hz.
Are Pulse PEMF systems FDA approved? Pulse PEMF products are not medical devices. They are wellness devices. Instead of addressing or diagnosing medical issues, PEMF stimulates and exercises the cells, optimizing wellness at the cellular level. Due to this, Pulse PEMF has not sought any evaluations or clearances from the FDA.
