The Development Of Pulsed Electromagnetic Field Technology

By Dorothy Lee


While electricity is most often thought of as a household utility, there are also other uses. One of which is that of EFT, or pulsed electromagnetic field technology. EFT is a healing process which has been used since the invention of electrical currents and systems. Only more recently have the benefits of this healing process become clear for animals and humans.

Originally adopted as a healing system for humans, approval for healing animals only took effect more recently. Once approved, veterinarians began using a version of EFT known as PEMF to heal race horses suffering broken bones or other injuries. After much success with regards to treating broken bones in animals, many working in Sports medicine began treating athletes.

Whether obtaining one of these devices from a shopping mall kiosk, a medical office or online, there are some important things to know about safety risks. For example, those under twelve years of age should never use this type of device without a parent or guardian. For, if the device comes into contact with liquid, especially still or running water, there could be a risk of electrocution.

The FDA recently approved these devices for use in surgical operations. In most cases, these surgeries are related to spinal issues such as stenosis and sciatica. Although, this type treatment has also seen a great deal of success with regards to emotional and psychological well being as well as physical. As a result, the process and associated devices have seen success in a number of different areas in the medical field.

As some healing devices carry classifications similar to drugs, there are some EFT oriented devices which still require a prescription. In addition, any item promoting potential health benefits must also be approved by the FDA. As a result, while the FDA changed the classification of these type devices from a Class 1 to a Class 2 in 2015, those not available on the open market still often require medical approval.

One reason this is the case is due to electrical currents used in this type healing. If not careful, these devices can often cause great damage to nerves. In other cases, anyone under the age of twelve (12, ) or whom has limited knowledge of electrical currents need always be supervised during treatment. The devices and processes have come a long way since the research and development phase. At that time, these devices consisted of a Helmholtz coil in which the entire body was placed inside a magnetic healing field. In most cases, this older process was far more dangerous and provided less safety with regards to potential side effects.

There are now a number of different options when it comes using these type devices. The majority of which now on the market include yoga style mats, electromagnet tapping devices and others. As these products provide an ongoing electrical current, it is essential to keep any cords or circuits away from still or running water and other liquids.

As most of these devices are manufactured outside the United States, many are marketed as exercise accessories or personal use items. When it comes to those marketed for personal use, smaller versions are often distributed as personal massagers. As a result, when looking to purchase these EFT oriented devices, individuals are most likely going to find these items in the personal care section.
