Pulsed Magnetic Field Therapy

Pulsed Magnetic Field Therapy or pulsed MFT is a physical modality that has been used successfully to treat numerous conditions in areas ranging from sports medicine to internal applications such as colitis/Irritable Bowel Syndrome, osteoarthritis, migraine headaches and more.

First introduced in Europe over 30 years ago, pulsed MFT is a branch of Bio-Energetic Medicine now common in North America.  It has been used effectively to treat chronic conditions by bringing healing to the cellular level.

The body possesses a bio-electric field as demonstrated with a brain wave scan or an ECG of the heart, for example. When an injury occurs or a disease process sets in, the bio-electric or magnetic field to the area becomes disrupted. Local blood flow to the area becomes impaired thereby limiting the body from receiving vital oxygen and nutrients for the cell to heal.  In turn, toxic waste products build up from constant inflammation and a process called progressive vicariation eventually leads to cellular death.

Pulsed MFT restores the body’s natural polarity and promotes circulation to the affected area thereby breaking the pain cycle and reducing inflammation. For this reason, pulsed MFT is commonly used in conjunction with acupuncture to enhance the therapeutic response in the gateway theory of pain control.
