Good news & bad news…

First, the bad news: we are bombarded by electromagnetism virtually all day long. The many modern electronic and electric devices that surround us, from fluorescent lights to computer screens to television sets to our cell phones to overhead power lines, are continually bathing us in a sea of electromagnetic waves. Most of these range from being either somewhat harmful to extremely damaging. And the further bad news is that we usually cannot tell that we are being bombarded, nor can we reverse the effects of this invisible contamination…until now, that is.

This brings us to the good news: a therapy that has been used and extensively studied in Europe for several decades, and is now an accepted form of treatment there, has finally reached the shores of America. This newly introduced technique is called pulsed electromagnetic field therapy and is at the forefront of a new era in medicine. This powerful and non-invasive therapy is totally painless and can be used in the treatment of pain, inflammation, stiffness, connective tissue health and for the acceleration of healing after injuries and surgery.

European researchers have conducted hundreds of studies over a 30-year period that conclusively prove the health benefits of properly calibrated and applied electromagnetic pulses. These have been shown to reverse the ill effects of the harmful electromagnetic exposure we all receive.

We at Greenspan Chiropractic are delighted to have incorporated this new therapy into our office treatment options. For simplicity, we call it (Vitality Boosting, Energizing Therapy, ElectroBalancing, ??), but we are happy to provide copies of the research references for those who want to learn more technical details about this exciting new method of health restoration. Most of our patients who have tried it are just delighted to have their pain reduced or eliminated and their normal body function improved.

Using Pulsed Electro Magnetic Fields (PEMF)
as Cellular Exercise. Benefits of the MG-33

Cellular Electro-Physiology and the Benefits of Cellular Exercise

Our cells and all living things are direct current (DC) systems created by the movement of sodium and potassium ions in and out of cell membranes. Normal, healthy cells have an electrical charge of aboutv -70 mV across the cell membrane.  This electrical gradient is critical to the process of ion transport across the cell membrane and normal cell metabolism.  Key features of cellular metabolism include  the exchange of oxygen and nutrients for cellular waste, and ATP energy generation.  These metabolic processes are almost always lacking in dysfunctional cells and improved as the cell membrane charge returns to normal.
Any challenge to the cell, such as oxygen/nutrient deficiency, toxicity, or inflammation can degrade the gradient from its optimal -70 mV.  As the gradient falters, sodium is less efficiently pumped out of the cell, resulting in edema (fluid retention) and inflammation.  As the gradient falls lower, oxygen delivery across the cell membrane into the interior of the cell is compromised.  Without oxygen, the cell cannot generate ATP energy; the sodium-potassium ion pumping mechanism cannot be fueled, and the gradient falls further.  A downward cycle of disordered cellular physiology will follow, which can ultimately lead to cell degeneration.
The electrical charge of inflamed cells causing pain changes to approximately +30 mV. When exposed to a pulsed magnetic field, these cells are changed to a charge of approximately -90mV alleviating pain in the process.  Cells that are scarred or fibrotic with adhesions have a charge of approximately -15 mV.  Due to the density of the cell tissue, change requires stronger pulsed magnetic fields to be able to restore them to the optimal -70 mV.  Degenerative or immune-compromised cells average -30 mV.
A state of wellness requires that our cells maintain an optimal electrochemical gradient of -70 mV.  We know that the gradient is compromised in unhealthy cells.  Research has shown that pulsed magnetic fields have a beneficial effect on the cell membrane's ability to regain its optimal electrochemical gradient which supports healthy cellular functions.

 

How does the pulsed magnetic field exercise the cells of living tissue without damaging them?

The answer is in electro physiology.  The PEMF technology used in the MG-33 has been engineered to produce extremely brief, but repetitive pulses of magnetic field energy in nanoseconds (that's a billionth of a second).  This pulsed magnetic field is supportive energy that can be used to restore damaged cellular structures, pump out toxins, and optimize cell performance without generating heat, ionizing radiation, or tissue damage. In essence, all cells exposed to a pulsed magnetic field are being exercised: expanded during peak exposure to the magnetic field and relaxed on the off phase.  By increasing ion transport across the cell membrane, the pulsed magnetic field is creating bio-available energy that triggers a cascade of biochemical events inside the cell.   PEMF actual excites and donates electrons as it passes through cells creating an electrical field.  This donation of electrons reduces cellular chemistry with anti-oxidant benefits.

Who Can Benefit?

Everyone's cells need exercise.  The stresses of everyday life, toxicity from pollutants, oxygen and nutrient deficiency have compromised our cellular biochemistry.  We all can benefit from the kind of total body cellular exercise that the MG Cellular Exerciser can deliver.  The benefit to areas of local cell dysfunction and energy deficiency that manifest in the experience of chronic pain can be demonstrated by the diminishment of pain following a session.  Painful cells are energy deficient; thus they are low in oxygen, high in sodium, with a faltered electrochemical gradient.  When we restore the gradient, the cell starts pumping out sodium, potassium enters the cell, the swelling resolves, oxygen starts flowing back in, and pain improves.
