The Benefits of PEMF Therapy for Back Pain and Improved Mobility

Back pain and restricted mobility affect millions of people in the UK, with a vast majority experiencing some form of back problem in their lifetime.

Back pain can be sudden or gradual, caused by injuries, age-related degeneration, or medical conditions such as inflammatory disorders. Back pain is typically caused by conditions affecting the spine and its surrounding structures.

PEMF therapy, or Pulsed Electromagnetic Field therapy, has emerged as an effective treatment for back pain, with dramatic analgesic effects that improve mobility and eliminate painful muscle spasms.

This therapy has been known to reduce the need for pain relief medication or surgery, and it can be safely used alongside medication. In cases where surgery is necessary, PEMF therapy can aid in the healing process.

PEMF therapy works by using electromagnetic fields to stimulate cells and tissues, which can enhance the body’s natural healing process.

By increasing blood circulation and oxygenation, PEMF therapy reduces swelling and inflammation, encouraging damaged soft tissue to repair more quickly and effectively than traditional healing regimes.

A study from pubmed show the pain-relieving properties of PEMF therapy on lower back pain. Published in January 2022 this shows that through 14 trials, compared to the placebo group the control group using PEMF therapy had a noticeable difference in the pain over the length of the trials. Function was also observed but in these studies no advantage was recorded.

PEMF therapy seems to be able to relieve the pain intensity and improve functionality in individuals with low back pain conditions.

a clear tendency to reduction of the pain intensity favouring the PEMF groups, reaching a minimal clinically important difference.

Reducing Pain and Muscle Spasms with PEMF Therapy

PEMF therapy has been shown to have strong analgesic effects, providing pain relief that can be more effective than traditional medications.

In addition, it can help to eliminate painful muscle spasms that affect the muscles along the spine, improving mobility and reducing discomfort.

Improving Mobility and Reducing Swelling

PEMF therapy has been known to increase blood circulation and oxygenation in and around the affected area, reducing swelling and inflammation.

This can enhance the body’s natural healing process, allowing damaged soft tissue to repair more quickly and more effectively.

Working Alongside Medications and Surgery

PEMF therapy is safe to use alongside pain relief medications, and it can reduce the need for these medications in some cases.

It can also be used alongside surgical procedures to aid in the healing process, reducing the recovery time and improving the overall outcome of the surgery.

Conclusion

PEMF therapy is a safe and effective treatment for back pain and reduced mobility.

With strong analgesic effects and the ability to improve blood circulation and oxygenation, it can aid in the body’s natural healing process, reducing swelling and inflammation and encouraging damaged soft tissue to repair more quickly and effectively.

Whether used alongside pain relief medications or surgery, PEMF therapy can provide significant benefits to those suffering from back pain and restricted mobility.
