When is PEMF Therapy Right?
PEMF therapy is a powerful, non-invasive healing modality. It is highly beneficial for any dogs suffering from arthritis or musculoskeletal conditions or injuries. It also works for tissue damage or bone fractures, and reduces pain and inflammation (helpful for inflammatory conditions like pancreatitis).
If you want to speed up your dog’s recovery process, or help them manage pain, a PEMF mat or loop can make a profound difference. PEMF therapy will also contribute to the general wellbeing of an aging or elderly dog.
How Will PEMF Therapy Help?
PEMF works by using low-frequency electromagnetic waves which stimulate cellular function and promote healing. The waves are strong enough to pass through fur, skin, bandages, and bone. The PEMF waves increase blood flow and oxygenation in the bloodstream, and cellular recovery is boosted by them. All of this contributes to accelerated healing and significant pain reduction.
All of this will help your dog recover more quickly from injury or surgery. Or if your dog is suffering from a degenerative musculoskeletal condition PEMF will help manage inflammation and is an effective pain management tool.
How to Pick PEMF for Your Dog?
A PEMF mat will give your dog’s entire body the benefit of treatment. Your dog can lie on it and it can be used wherever you are, even in the car. PEMF mats are rechargeable, have three different pulsing options and the PEMF waves are vet-grade. They come in various different materials - vinyl for incontinent dogs, micro suede for dog bed use, and nylon which is handy for crates or travel.
A PEMF loop offers a more targeted way of delivering the PEMF waves. You place the loop on your dog (or cat’s) body in the area that needs the treatment. It is smaller than a mat and therefore maybe more convenient for travelling and takes up less storage space.
