PEMF Therapy in Encinitas

What Exactly Is PEMF Therapy and How Does It Help Alleviate Pain?

You may have heard of PEMF therapy from your doctor or on the news. Dr. Cipperoni has been using PEMF therapy for the past two years and is excited to announce he is now offering it at Catalyst Health!

How does it work?

PEMF generates extremely low sets of Pulsed Electromagnetic Field (PEMF) frequencies which accelerate the production of new blood vessels and reduce inflammation. PEMF changes the conductivity along your nerve fibers to relieve your muscular aches and pains in a similar way that local anesthesia does but without the side-effects.
The efficacy and effectiveness of PEMF therapy is documented. The National Institute of Health (NIH) has published over 500 articles and studies on different devices and concepts of PEMF therapy, varying from low to extremely high intensity and/or frequencies, on its PubMed website.

DCcure (the unit we use here at Catalyst Health) is a clinically proven electronic and PEMF massager used to relieve muscular aches and pains including but not limited to the lower pain, shoulder pain and hip pain.
Unlike Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation (TENS), a common technology used in other LBP devices, PEMF therapy brings long-lasting, non-invasive, and non-pharmacological pain relief. Given its small size and portability, patented DCcure is truly in a class of its own. It is FDA class 1 listed, safe to use and can be applied without the need for a prescription.

PEMF units are available for rent at Catalyst Health, however many of our patients end up purchasing one after experiencing its effectiveness. For the best results, Dr. Cipperoni generally recommends applying the therapy two times per day for six weeks. Oftentimes, the pain-relieving effects can be felt in just two weeks after initial application!
