PEMF Therapy in Sioux Falls, SD

PEMF stands for pulsed electromagnetic field. PEMF therapy uses a powered device to produce magnetic fields that change over time. At Moveology 605 in Sioux Falls, PEMF is one of the advanced recovery technologies that may be part of an individualized treatment plan after a health consultation with our doctors.

Pulsed electromagnetic field therapy is a noninvasive approach in which a device, commonly using electromagnetic coils, generates time-varying magnetic fields near the body. Researchers are studying it for selected musculoskeletal concerns. Findings vary by device and condition, so it is considered a possible addition to care rather than a stand-alone solution.

A regular magnet, like a bracelet or necklace, is permanently magnetized and produces a constant field. PEMF equipment actively generates fields that pulse and change over time using electrical power. The NIH notes that static magnets have not been shown to relieve pain, so the two should not be treated as the same thing.

PEMF is noninvasive, and most people describe it as comfortable. Many patients simply rest during a session. Some feel nothing at all, while others notice a mild sensation. If anything feels uncomfortable, tell our team right away so we can adjust or stop the session. Your comfort and safety come first.

Research has looked at PEMF for selected chronic lower back pain concerns, certain osteoarthritis-related joint symptoms such as knee discomfort, and other musculoskeletal pain and mobility concerns. Results are mixed across devices and conditions. These are research areas, not proof that any specific device treats each condition effectively.

Some studies suggest PEMF may help with pain and function for certain people with chronic low back pain, but findings vary and it is not a cure. At Moveology 605, our doctors evaluate your back pain first and decide whether PEMF is an appropriate addition to your chiropractic care and overall treatment plan.

PEMF uses time-varying electromagnetic fields produced by a powered device. Red light therapy uses light at selected wavelengths applied to the skin. They work differently, are studied for different purposes and are not interchangeable. Your provider recommends whichever option, if any, fits your evaluation and goals.

Session length varies depending on the treatment and your individualized care plan. Our team will explain what to expect before your appointment. We do not list a standard time because the right session depends on your evaluation, your goals and the recommendation from your provider at Moveology 605.
