PEMF in Portland, Oregon

PEMF offered at our Medical Clinic in Portland, OR, stands for Pulsed Electro Magnetic Fields and PEMFs are magnetic fields that change with time, or sometimes called time varying magnetic fields. The type of PEMF does matter. We have secured the most advanced medical grade system available for our patients that has been updated with current technology and consistent with the research.

The iMRS PEMF System

The iMRS utilizes an amazing squarewave. This is a very complex signal that creates rapid rise and fall squarewave pulses at a carrier frequency of 3 Hz. But it is not just one frequency; it is many layers of pulses and contains within it a width and rich frequency spectrum (this is called pulse width modulation), including “sawtooth”(this is called pulse width modulation). In an independent European study, the iMRS Sawtooth was rated as one of the top 2 signals among ALL PEMF devices in Portland, OR, tested.

How PEMF Works and its Benefits Mechanism of Action

The use of electromagnetic fields in the treatment of diseases has already been known for centuries. Low hazard, wide applicability, good clinical effect, and relatively low cost enable electromagnetic field therapy to be widely used. The biological effect of the electromagnetic field is based on inter alia, analgesic, anti-inflammatory, osteogenetic, and regenerative actions, which are associated with the changes in cellular signal transmission, action on biological membranes, ion transport processes, protein synthesis, cell proliferation, and apoptosis. In addition, the electromagnetic field increases the quantity of collagen content, elevating its density and a more regular arrangement. Furthermore, it induces the activation of glutathione peroxidase and intensification of the process of erythropoiesis, leading to better oxygen use in the tissues around the wound.

Key Benefits of PEMF Therapy

PEMF therapy offers various benefits, including the following:

Pain Reduction

Modulates pain signaling pathways

Anti-Inflammatory Effects

Reduces inflammation in tissues

Tissue Regeneration

Stimulates cellular repair and collagen synthesis

Improved Circulation

Enhances blood flow and oxygen utilization

Cellular Activation

Supports processes like erythropoiesis (red blood cell production)

Applications of PEMF Therapy

The electromagnetic field is used in rehabilitation of patients with diseases of skeletal, nervous and respiratory systems. Moreover, electromagnetic field may be used in the course of most inflammatory diseases and in the case of concomitant pain. An emerging body of evidence indicates the existence of a frequency-dependent interaction between the mechanical interventions of EMF and cell signaling along the peripheral inflammatory pain pathway.

PEMF therapy is effective for a wide range of conditions, particularly those related to inflammation, pain, and tissue regeneration. It is commonly used for musculoskeletal conditions, skeletal, nervous, and respiratory system issues, and is beneficial for treating inflammatory diseases, chronic pain, and aiding in rehabilitation. It also promotes improved circulation, collagen production, and tissue healing.

Yes, PEMF therapy is considered safe with minimal risk of side effects. It is a non-invasive treatment that has been used for many years in medical settings. The iMRS PEMF system, used in our clinic, has been shown to be highly effective, with a well-documented history of safety when administered by trained professionals. However, it is always recommended to consult with your healthcare provider before starting any new therapy.
