Pulsed Electromagnetic Field Therapy
PEMF
Supporting the natural healing process with PEMF.
PEMF (Pulsed Electromagnetic Field) Therapy is a safe, non-invasive treatment that uses gentle electromagnetic pulses to stimulate your body's natural healing process. By energizing your cells, PEMF helps reduce pain and inflammation while improving circulation, cellular repair, and overall recovery and healing.
PEMF therapy uses electrical currents passed through a coil to create pulsing electromagnetic fields. These magnetic fields can be adjusted by changing the frequency, intensity, and waveform settings of the device to target specific therapeutic goals.
PEMF therapy works by supporting the body's natural cellular processes, helping cells function more efficiently and creating an environment that supports recovery and healing.
Whether you are recovering from an injury, managing ongoing discomfort, or looking to optimize your body's natural repair processes, PEMF may be a valuable addition to your wellness plan.
Why PEMF Works:
When cells are injured or stressed, they lose energy and don't function as efficiently. PEMF gently stimulates these cells to help them recharge and communicate more effectively, allowing your body to heal naturally.
Reduces pain and inflammation – helps calm irritated tissues and ease discomfort.
Improves circulation – increases blood flow to deliver oxygen and nutrients where they're needed most.
Supports cellular repair – stimulates healthy cell function and tissue regeneration.
Boosts energy production – helps cells produce more ATP, the body's natural energy source for healing.
Accelerates recovery – promotes faster healing of muscles, tendons, ligaments, bones, and soft tissues.
Conditions that respond well to PEMF therapy:
PEMF therapy is used as a supportive therapy to help promote healthy cellular function, circulation, and the body's natural recovery processes. It is beneficial for a variety of musculoskeletal concerns in both humans and animals.
Arthritis and joint degeneration
Muscle, tendon and ligament injuries
Spine-related conditions, disc concerns and nerve irritation
Acute and chronic injuries
Pre- and post-surgical recovery support
Mobility, performance and overall recovery support
Bone healing and recovery support

Frequently Asked Questions:
-
PEMF therapy feels a little different for everyone and can also vary depending on the area being treated and the intensity of the pulse during the treatment.
People find the treatment comfortable and relaxing. You may notice a gentle tapping, pulsing, or rhythmic thumping sensation, while others describe it as a subtle fluttering within the muscles. At lower intensities, some people feel very little at all, often just a sense of relaxation.
Unlike electrical stimulation, PEMF does not produce a sharp sting or "zap." The treatment is designed to be gentle while delivering therapeutic pulsed magnetic fields to support your body's natural healing processes.
-
PEMF therapy has been studied for decades and is considered a safe, non-invasive treatment option for both people and animals when used appropriately.
It has been widely used to support recovery, reduce discomfort, and promote overall wellness without the use of medication or surgery.
PEMF is also commonly used in veterinary care to help support healing and performance in horses and companion animals. Research into its potential applications continues to grow, with ongoing studies exploring its role in supporting a wide range of health conditions.
-
Yes! PEMF therapy works very well alongside chiropractic care and many other treatments we offer.
It can be incorporated into your visit and performed at the same time as your adjustment or other treatments, allowing you to receive the benefits of both therapies during a single appointment.
For both human and animal patients, PEMF can help support circulation, reduce inflammation, relax tissues, and encourage the body's natural healing response, which enhances the benefits of an adjustment.
Whether you are receiving chiropractic care, animal chiropractic, or other supportive therapies, PEMF can be added as part of a personalized treatment plan to help optimize recovery and overall wellness.
-
When PEMF signals enter the body, they create gentle electrical activity within the cells. This stimulation may help support healthy cellular function by encouraging the body's natural processes at a cellular level.
PEMF has been shown to influence cellular energy production by supporting ATP (adenosine triphosphate) activity, which is the energy source cells use to perform their functions. It may also help support circulation, oxygen delivery, nutrient utilization, and the body's natural recovery processes.
-
PEMF therapy is safe for many people; however, it may not be recommended for everyone.
Individuals with implanted electronic devices such as pacemakers, defibrillators, or certain insulin pumps should avoid PEMF, as the magnetic fields may interfere with their function.
PEMF is generally avoided during pregnancy unless approved by a healthcare provider. If you have a medical condition or are unsure whether PEMF is right for you, Dr. Ginette will review your health history and help determine if it is a suitable option for your care plan.
-
Most people simply relax during their PEMF session. You’ll be set up in a quiet, comfortable space where you can listen to music, read, take a nap, or just unwind while the PEMF therapy is being delivered. Many people find the experience calming and use this time as an opportunity to slow down and allow their body to relax.
The length of your session depends on the area being treated and your individual needs.
Most PEMF sessions range from 10–20 minutes. If your health concern or area of focus requires additional time, longer sessions can be scheduled to provide more targeted support.
-
The benefits of PEMF therapy are often cumulative, meaning the effects can build over time with repeated sessions. Many people begin noticing changes within 4–6 sessions, while many notice improvements after their first visit.
The number and frequency of sessions needed depends on several factors, including whether you are addressing an acute concern or a chronic condition, the area being treated, your individual health goals, and how your body responds to treatment.
Sessions are typically scheduled 1–3 times per week, with your treatment plan adjusted as needed to support the best possible results.
-
Not all PEMF devices are the same. The effectiveness of PEMF therapy depends on several factors, including the intensity (strength), frequency, waveform, and duration of the treatment. The right combination of these settings helps determine how the body responds and supports the therapeutic goals we are aiming to achieve.
There are many PEMF devices available on the market, including lower-intensity home-use systems that can be a convenient tool for ongoing wellness support. However, these devices often require longer treatment times due to their lower output.
In our office, we use a high-power PEMF system designed for clinical applications. This allows us to deliver targeted treatments with specific frequencies, waveforms, and intensities to provide efficient sessions and support the best possible outcomes for each individual's needs.
-
We understand that cost is an important part of getting started. Your initial visit starts at $145 and includes your consultation, assessment, and first treatment.
All services provided by Dr. Ginette fall under chiropractic care. As coverage can vary, we recommend checking with your provider for the details of your individual plan.
You’ll receive a detailed receipt for your records that can be submitted for reimbursement. We also offer payment options to help make care more accessible.

Denise’s Story
When Denise first came into our clinic, she arrived in a wheelchair, supported by her husband. At that point, even getting through the door required assistance. But that wasn’t the end of her story… As the weeks went by and we worked on supporting her nervous system through our care, something remarkable began to happen: She progressed from a wheelchair…
To using a walker
Then to a cane
And now… she is driving herself to the clinic independently
