PEMF is widely used in Eastern Europe and other parts of Europe, where it has been a standard method of care.  While this is a new technology in North America it is really an innovative, emerging technology, with an already [extensive research base behind it](https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC10379303/).  PEMF is a safe, drug-free, non-invasive method that supports the body's natural healing and regulating abilities.* ## Cellular Exercise PEMF sessions utilize pulsing electromagnetic fields. Practitioners target these fields at specific areas of a patient’s body that are injured or damaged. As the energy fields penetrate the cells without causing pain, the cells absorb this energy. This process exercises and energizes the cells, which is why PEMF sessions are often referred to as “cellular exercise.” This enhancement in cellular activity aids in rejuvenating the cells, encouraging them to expedite the healing process. Additionally, PEMF cellular exercise can improve the body's nutrient utilization. PEMF techniques also support water absorption and reduce cell stagnation. Overall, PEMF revitalizes cells and enhances their functionality. Due to its mechanism, PEMF is widely applied in various fields. Cellular exercise is frequently employed to alleviate pain and inflammation. PEMF sessions may also help increase range of motion, enhance mood, and improve the body's ability to achieve restful sleep. By optimizing the body’s natural functions, PEMF can boost numerous bodily processes that slow down with age, illness, or injury. Research continues to explore the diverse applications of PEMF.   [![Downloard Research Behind the Results Brochure](https://no-cache.hubspot.com/cta/default/67234/4f4d04dd-3568-4a7e-b28f-93e52b23ae76.png)](https://cta-redirect.hubspot.com/cta/redirect/67234/4f4d04dd-3568-4a7e-b28f-93e52b23ae76) ## Why PEMF? ![PulsePEMF_Why_PEMF_HUMAN-800](https://www.helpmychronicpain.com/hubfs/images/PulsePEMF_Why_PEMF_HUMAN-800.jpeg "PulsePEMF_Why_PEMF_HUMAN-800") ## An Interview with Gary Ryan about PEMF by David Osprey on BulletProof Radio ### PEMF Cellular Exercise—what is it? PEMF cellular exercise is an electro-magnetic field applied to a painful or dysfunctional area of the body. What makes this procedure so powerful is two things: the strength of the magnetic field generated by the machine; and the pulsating of the field around the part of the body that is not functioning properly. The cellular exercise supports the cell's ability to do its job better. ### How does it work? PEMF cellular exercise works by re-energizeing damaged cells by inducing electrical changes within the cell that assist the cell in restoring its normal healthy state. It improves the ability of the membrane of the cell to allow the oxygen, water and nutrients it needs into the cell…and allows the metabolic wastes to exit the cell in a more normal manner. The pulsing action of the PEMF literally “exercises” the cells that are exposed to the magnetic field and assists them to normalize. ###  [![Learn More About The PEMF Our Patients Love](https://no-cache.hubspot.com/cta/default/67234/3d252b62-48a6-4e71-8df7-3fd0ff6fbfd9.png)](https://cta-redirect.hubspot.com/cta/redirect/67234/3d252b62-48a6-4e71-8df7-3fd0ff6fbfd9) ### What Are The Benefits: Cellular exercise, supports the cell's ability to do its job better, stimulates and exercises the cell and supports the body's natural healing and regulating abilities. Weakened or damaged cells are the cause of many health problems. Impacting these cells with pulsed electromagnetic energy assists them in returning to normal function. Regaining normal cell function is the key to ALL healing! PEMF *helps cells regain normal function. *Take a look at the video below to learn more. You will be glad you did!

In general PEMF cellular exercise is safe. There are certain circumstances that PEMF cellular exercise is contraindicated. We will not utilize PEMF if the following circumstances are present: - User has an implanted electronic device including but not limited to a pacemaker, defibrillator, cochlear hearing device, spinal stimulator, glucose monitor, or insulin pump - User is pregnant  - User is actively bleeding or hemorrhaging - User is the recipient of an organ transplant - Human User has injuries or concerns of injuries that have not yet been 
evaluated by a licensed healthcare provider ### What training have you undergone related to the use of PEMF Cellular Exercise? Dr. Karl R.O.S. Johnson, DC is a Certified Pulse PEMF Professional**, **and his staff are also Pulse Certified and that means we know how to effectively use our equipment to help you reach your health goals. ![PulseCertified_Logo-Med Res_TransparentBckgrnd](https://www.helpmychronicpain.com/hs-fs/hubfs/PulseCertified_Logo-Med%20Res_TransparentBckgrnd.png?width=1500&name=PulseCertified_Logo-Med%20Res_TransparentBckgrnd.png) ### Does PEMF Hurt? Tolerance and comfort levels for the Magnetic Field Strength, Pulses Per Second, and use of the accessories will vary from user to user, so figuring out what you prefer may take time. The comfort llevel of the sessions is mutually determined by the user and PEMF professional. We strive to help users find their sessions relaxing and comfortable. Many users fall asleep during their sessions. There are natural reactions to PEMF cellular exercise that include but are not limited to nausea, headache, fatigue, muscle soreness, increased menstrual flow, or any uncomfortable sensations. We find these reactions are minimized by tailoring each session to the individual user. We do not use generic protocols, but instead use customized settings for each person. We also empower our users with information and a method to signal if they need to interrupt a session if we are not in the room with them during their session. ![MagnaCharger Pro10 JCNN](https://www.helpmychronicpain.com/hs-fs/hubfs/images/JCNN-PEMF_color2-540.jpg?width=540&height=360&name=JCNN-PEMF_color2-540.jpg "MagnaCharger Pro10 JCNN") ## Thousands of studies on PEMF have been conducted by NASA, NIH, and other institutions around the world. A comprehensive collection of these studies can be found at PubMed, a website of the National Institutes of Health. These studies set the stage for the development of increasingly advanced PEMF devices. [http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/?term=pulsed+fields](http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/?term=pulsed+fields) **Note:  Pulsed electromagnetic field devices (PEMF) are generators that produce a DC pulsed electromagnetic field of varying strengths delivered via insulated cables. No current of any kind comes into contact with the body. The magnetic field energy produced at the cable passes freely through living tissue for the purpose of cellular exercise to promote and support a sense of well-being. It is not a medical device. Pulse PEMF should not be used to diagnose, treat, or cure any physical or medical condition. Pulse PEMF products have not been evaluated by the FDA and are meant for general wellness. You should seek the advice of a medical professional before using PEMF as a form of cellular exercise.* [![Download Selections of 2000 PEMF Reseach Studies Document](https://no-cache.hubspot.com/cta/default/67234/990c87bc-6d67-40d6-ad5a-612be275d4d9.png)](https://cta-redirect.hubspot.com/cta/redirect/67234/990c87bc-6d67-40d6-ad5a-612be275d4d9) [![JCNN-PEMF-Cellular-Exercise](https://no-cache.hubspot.com/cta/default/67234/a65bd1f5-3bc6-4b58-9a01-1438ec963b7f.png)](https://cta-redirect.hubspot.com/cta/redirect/67234/a65bd1f5-3bc6-4b58-9a01-1438ec963b7f) ### About Dr. Johnson ![Dr. Karl Johnson Chronic Conditions](https://www.helpmychronicpain.com/hs-fs/hubfs/images/KROSJ_Newest_Headshot.jpg?width=120&name=KROSJ_Newest_Headshot.jpg) Dr. Karl R.O.S.
