Question 1

What does PEMF stand for?

Accepted Answer

PEMF stands for Pulsed Electromagnetic Field therapy. It's a non-invasive treatment that uses low-frequency electromagnetic pulses to stimulate cellular repair and recovery throughout the body.

Question 2

How is PEMF different from other therapies?

Accepted Answer

PEMF works at a cellular level — it doesn't just treat symptoms, it addresses the underlying biological environment that drives injury, pain and fatigue. Unlike massage or physiotherapy, it requires no physical manipulation. Unlike medication, it has no pharmaceutical side effects. It complements other therapies extremely well and is often used alongside them for faster results.

Question 3

Is PEMF scientifically proven

Accepted Answer

Yes. PEMF is backed by over 2,000 peer-reviewed studies and has been used in clinical settings for decades. It is FDA-approved for the treatment of non-union bone fractures and certain brain conditions, and has been used by NASA to maintain the health of astronauts. A significant body of research also supports its use for pain management, inflammation, sleep and cellular energy.

Question 4

Is PEMF the same as magnetic therapy you can buy in a shop?

Accepted Answer

No. Consumer magnetic products (like magnetic bracelets or mattress pads) use static magnetic fields at very low intensities. Clinical PEMF uses pulsed fields at significantly higher therapeutic intensities with programmable frequencies. The difference in therapeutic effect is substantial. At Pro Active we use professional-grade Pulse PEMF equipment.
