      There is still too much confusion around about what magnetotherapy is and how it works. In this article, we will help you better understand this therapeutic technique, and, in particular, what exactly PEMF therapy consists of.<\/p>

      There are two main kinds of magnetotherapy: static, and pulsed.<\/p>

      In the following paragraphs, we will focus only on pulsed electromagnetic field<\/strong> (PEMF)<\/strong> therapy, because this kind of magnetotherapy<\/strong> has a wide range of applications in treating various pathologies affecting the musculoskeletal system and more. Indeed, magnetotherapy with pulsed rather than static electromagnetic fields has seen much more interest in the scientific literature, with numerous clinical studies demonstrating its therapeutic benefits.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

      The acronym PEMF is an abbreviation of PULSED ELECTROMAGNETIC FIELDS. But what exactly are they?<\/p>

      An electromagnetic field<\/strong> is generated by an electric current flowing through one or more copper or aluminium wire coils, called solenoids, or around a radiant circuit. The device that generates the electric current regulates the intensity and frequency of the magnetic field it gives off.<\/p>

      In the case of low-frequency, high-intensity PEMF therapy<\/strong>, which makes use of solenoids, the frequency and intensity are respectively measured in hertz (Hz) and gauss (G).<\/p>

      Instead, in the case of high-frequency, low-intensity PEMF therapy<\/strong>, which uses radiant circuits, or antennas, the frequency, measured in megahertz (MHz), can vary from around 18 MHz up to as much as 900 MHz, while the intensity is very low and is usually measured in milliwatts (mW).<\/p>

      In both cases, the electromagnetic field is emitted at precise intervals and with a preset depth and frequency.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

      Clinical studies in this field have shown that such electromagnetic fields are able to regenerate a biomagnetic field at the cellular level, favouring the intra- and extra-cellular exchange of nutrients and waste.<\/p>

      This biological mechanism makes PEMF therapy the perfect ally in relieving pain and inflammation<\/strong> in bones, muscles and joints.<\/p>

      Furthermore, it has been shown that this therapy offers multiple benefits to people suffering from musculoskeletal pathologies such as:<\/p>
