Understanding PEMF therapy’s mechanism and its positive impact on cellular health is paramount. In today’s world, we’re constantly bombarded with unnatural energy fields that detrimentally affect our cells. PEMF therapy works by penetrating the skin and administering low-frequency electrical pulses throughout the body, mimicking the Earth’s electromagnetic waves. This stimulation boosts the production of adenosine triphosphate (ATP) within the body, effectively recharging cells for optimal function.

While PEMF therapy holds benefits for a wide range of users, its most prominent application, supported by peer-reviewed studies, lies in managing chronic pain and inflammation. Ignoring inflammation can escalate into more severe issues like chronic pain. Recent research underscores PEMF therapy’s potential to regulate complex biochemical and cellular interactions crucial for maintaining bodily balance, such as signal transduction and cytokine expression (Ross et al., 2019). Dysregulation of these interactions can lead to acute inflammation and subsequent chronic conditions.

What sets PEMF therapy apart is its compatibility with other offerings at MedHouse. Pairing the PEMF mat with our Infrared Light Bed, for instance, enhances the penetration of electromagnetic pulses into the body. Similarly, utilizing the PEMF mat before a session in our Hyperbaric Oxygen Chamber primes cells to absorb oxygen optimally, thereby enhancing cellular function.

The Floatation Tank Experience:

Understanding Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy

Hyperbaric oxygen therapy operates on a simple principle: by increasing the pressure around the patient and administering pure oxygen, the body receives significantly higher amounts of oxygen than what is possible under normal conditions. This intensified oxygenation is believed to trigger a cascade of healing mechanisms within the body.

1. Enhanced Oxygen Delivery

 In a hyperbaric environment, the lungs absorb a higher concentration of oxygen, and the bloodstream becomes a carrier for delivering this oxygen to every cell in the body. This process ensures that tissues receive ample oxygen, promoting healing and recovery.

2. Anti-inflammatory Effects

HBOT has shown anti-inflammatory properties, contributing to its effectiveness in conditions where inflammation plays a significant role. By modulating inflammatory responses, this therapy holds promise for treating various inflammatory disorders.

3. Improved Blood Flow

The increased pressure and oxygen levels in the blood promote vasodilation, enhancing blood flow to compromised or injured tissues. This improved circulation aids in the recovery of wounds, injuries, and other vascular issues.

Applications of Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy

1. Wound Healing

HBOT has demonstrated remarkable efficacy in accelerating wound healing, particularly in cases of non-healing wounds, diabetic ulcers, and tissue damage resulting from radiation therapy.

2. Neurological Disorders

Ongoing research suggests potential benefits of HBOT in neurological conditions such as traumatic brain injuries, stroke, and neurodegenerative disorders. The increased oxygen supply may support neuronal repair and regeneration.

3. Sports Injuries

Athletes have embraced HBOT to expedite recovery from injuries and enhance performance. The therapy aids in reducing inflammation, minimizing downtime, and promoting faster healing of soft tissue injuries.

4. Chronic Conditions

 Conditions like fibromyalgia, chronic fatigue syndrome, and autoimmune disorders have seen some positive responses to hyperbaric oxygen therapy. While more research is needed, initial findings suggest potential relief from symptoms.

5. Infectious Diseases

The antimicrobial properties of oxygen under pressure have led to the exploration of HBOT as an adjunctive treatment for certain infections. It may enhance the effectiveness of antibiotics and contribute to the body’s defense against pathogens.

Conclusion

Hyperbaric oxygen therapy represents a captivating frontier in medical science, offering a non-invasive and potentially transformative approach to healing. As research continues to unveil its therapeutic effects across various medical domains, the future holds exciting possibilities for the integration of HBOT into mainstream healthcare. The potential to enhance the quality of life for individuals grappling with a myriad of health conditions makes hyperbaric oxygen therapy a beacon of hope in the realm of modern medicine.

What is PEMF/Pulse
Electromagnetic Field Therapy

Electricity is all around us – including throughout the human body. All the cells in your body have electrical currents running through them at all times that helps the flow of charged material across the cellular membrane. When these electrical currents lose their charge, the cell no longer functions as it should. That’s where PEMF therapy comes in! Our PEMF therapy uses wavelengths between 10Hz-30Hz delivered in a specific sequence to promote increased vasodilation and better circulation of vital nutrients throughout the body.

What should I expect?

Your PEMF therapy session will last 8-minutes. During this time, you will lay on the PEMF mat and relax. It is unlikely that you will notice or feel anything throughout the session as it is working on a cellular level, but you may feel some pins and needles like tingling as you increase the therapeutic frequencies.

Benefits

Our lives are changing faster than ever. As soon as we find out one thing is healthy, we learn that it’s not. Wherever we look we can find stress if we choose so. How do you balance it all? Should you start with nutrition, exercise or creating a mindful routine?

First: Meeting with a health coach to identify key areas of your life that are imbalanced is a great first step to integrating wellness into your life.

Why? Studies show that people who slowly integrate new habits into their routine are more likely to keep those habits for the long-term resulting in true lifestyle change. It makes sense, right? Creating small goals that are actionable allows you to build on their momentum sooner. We must crawl before we can walk; we must lose 5 pounds before we can lose 20. Our health coach helps you add those small steps into your routine so that your results are sustainable.

Second: You can expect to receive support that is focused on you and your bio-individuality.

One man’s medicine can be another man’s poison. You won’t receive recommendations that are standardized or be told to try extreme diets. Your current health is an accumulation of your genetics and your environment. Working with a health coach creates space for you to reflect on past and present experiences so that your wellness journey transforms into what optimal health looks like for you.

Third: Your health is so much more than you are eating.

Our bodies are always aiming for homeostasis: balance. If there is an imbalance in your home environment, relationships, or career, it can impact the activities you decide to do or how you eat. These things are equally important to your health and are always discussed when you meet with your health coach. Your lifestyle will be aligned with your health goals.

Fourth: Expand your resources!

Is there a new class you’ve been wanting to try? An ingredient you’re not sure how to use? From learning how to eat sustainably to using breath work to manage stress, working with a health coach gives you access to health resources you may have not considered. The result is feeling empowered with the knowledge to develop new solutions for your health.

Fifth: Accountability and Support

The best part about working with a health coach is to have a conversation with someone who listens. You are not given recommendations for your health to face the struggles of behavior change alone. The truth is change can be hard. A health coach is there to help you work through your struggles, celebrate your successes and keep you accountable.

MedHouse fosters an environment of healing, education, and community. Our goal is to create a shift in health, to change with your pace and build a life that’s positively resilient. Meeting with our health coach monthly is an integral part of our membership. Schedule your next break-through in health by contacting MedHouse today!
