About PEMF (Pulsing electromagnetic field therapy)

PEMF has been used since the 1970’s to stimulate cells and energize natural cellular processes.  All cellular functions are influenced by differences in voltage, or electrical potential. By using magnetic wavelengths and frequencies similar to those naturally occurring in the body and from the earth, PEMF is able to positively influence electrical potential in the cells and decrease Inflammation, increase circulation, reduce pain and accelerate healing.

Case Study

PEMF and Hoof Abscesses

Hoof abscesses are one of the most common causes of acute onset lameness in a horse.  Wet weather, extreme dry conditions, sudden changes in moisture can all make the hoof more susceptible to the formation of an abscess. Even with the most diligent prevention techniques including frequent hoof cleaning and routine farrier care, abscesses can still form as bacteria finds a way into the interior hoof structure through tiny cracks, puncture wounds, misplaced or close horseshoe nails and more.

Once formed, the goal for treatment is to get the abscess to open up and drain the infection out. Many time the abscess will travel up to the coronary band searching for an exit pathway that provides the least resistance, and this is the scenario presented in the case detailed below.

PEMF therapy is renowned for three main benefits:

– Reduce pain and inflammation

– Increase circulation

– Accelerate Healing

Day 1 of IronFoot PEMF Treatment of Abscess

A major benefit for horses from PEMF is the ability for the pulsed electromagnetic field to penetrate the hoof wall promoting circulation not only in the laminae but also deep inside the hoof.  Respond Systems’ IronFoot uses a proprietary blend of power and frequency to gently yet effectively induce micro-circulation on the cellular level to force movement of ions, nutrients, oxygen, waste and fluid into and out of the cell. In addition to the physical stimulation on a cellular level, additional biochemical mechanisms are stimulated into action to increase the formation of macrophages to help further combat pathogens.

 

The following case uses the IronFoot to help treat a diagnosed hoof abscess: 

 

 

Day 3 and Rupture of Abscess while on IronFoot PEMF Treatment

Day 1- Horse diagnosed with abscess and was running a temperature. Treatment on IronFoot for 30-minutes

Day 2- Treatment on IronFoot for 30-minutes

Day 3- Treatment on IronFoot at which time the abscess ruptured during the treatment

The horse was also on an antibiotic during this time as well.

 

Accelerating the healing process with PEMF can help to reduce stall rest time and aid in preventing compensatory issues and conditions.

What other's Are Saying about Respond PEMF Therapy

  • Janey is a 12 yr old Scottish Fold with osteochondrodysplasia. I found her at a shelter when she was a kitten. Her paws and leg joints especially have become misshapen and thickened and her back and tail are also affected. She takes Gabapentin and Metacam daily, along with Adequan shots monthly, but still overgrooms her back, I believe from pain.

    PEMF has made an incredible difference. Really, it has stunned me to see the change in her. Her mood is better, she actually runs around a little, and she does stuff like roll around on her back that I haven’t seen her do for several years. Her over-grooming is getting better too. Her posture is much more “solid”…she doesn’t move like she’s so fragile now.  I have been dreading the day I will need to do the “final kindness” when her pain becomes too great, but now I believe that could be years away.

    I put the small PEMF bed under her favorite blanket where she sleeps and she gets her 30 min treatment every day…it couldn’t be easier! Currently I’m experimenting with dialing back her Metacam doses, and she’s doing great! Cindy Koval, February 2018

  • “Csonka is a 9 year old Rottie that was pretty crippled even on NSAID’s, Gabapentin, Adequan and Tramadol.  The owners have a house in the mountains on a lake, and he used to love to swim and play but hasn’t been able to do it for a while.  Within 2 months of using the PEMF Dog Bed,  he is off everything but a half dose of NSAIDs on occasion.

    I received from Csonka’s owner after she started in November:

    First treatment he stretched out and stayed on the bed for about 20 minutes. Second treatment before bed, he stretched out and fell asleep and hasn’t moved. Even stayed asleep with snack bags being opened in the kitchen and the fridge door being opened (this is unheard of for Csonk :)!!!! He seemed peppier this evening too.

    And then another email four days later:
    He is like a different dog. Grabbing toys and chasing us, chewing on his bone. He doesn’t let out that huge grunt when he goes to lie down each time.”

  • “Nimitz had a very bad weekend when he could not walk for hours and was very shaky after that. Used hot water bottle and cold gel packs to bring down his inflammation which thankfully worked and he started walking better over Sunday and Monday. We were close to letting him go, he was in so much pain and frustration. I guess his vertebrae are fusing with the arthritis in the spine and hips.

    So the PEMF Bed arrived yesterday afternoon and Nimitz went on it last night for his first treatment. Within 5 minutes he was asleep and in 10 he was snoring. Usually he sleeps light and moves around and paces every 10 minutes trying to get comfortable. He slept for 3 hours straight. He has not done that in a year. He went outside had some water and went back on the bed for the rest of the night sleeping soundly and relaxed. I could not believe it. I am so grateful for your kindness and help to support my retired Guide Dog. He is everything to me after taking me everywhere for 11 years and at 13 he deserves to be comfortable and pain free.”   Heather, June 2016
