What is PEMFs?
PEMFs is a non-invasive pain-relieving, inflammation-reducing treatment that can be used in conjunction with oral medication, physical rehabilitation treatment, or singularly to help your pet.
PEMFs therapeutic purpose is to enhance the production of bone, accelerate tissue healing and pain control.* The PEMF treatment delivers a microcurrent that targets the body’s own natural anti-inflammatory process. The result of the PEMFs treatment being stimulation of new bone as well as reduced production of free radicals and subsequently reducing inflammation.
