PEMF therapy,
without the hype.
Thirty minutes, fully clothed, on an OlyLife Tera-P90. Pulsed electromagnetic field therapy is non-invasive and drug-free. Here is what a session actually feels like, and what we will and will not claim it does.
PEMF applies low-frequency electromagnetic pulses to the body.
You sit or lie down, fully clothed, with the energy plate positioned against you. The device produces low-frequency electromagnetic output together with gentle warming. There is no needle, no medication, and no ionizing radiation.
Sessions run 30 minutes. Most people describe it as relaxing and uneventful. The most common sensation patients report is a mild warmth in the ankles, which is expected and settles on its own.
What this is,
and what it is not.
We would rather tell you where the science actually sits than sell you certainty that does not exist.
Prescription bone-healing devices
Certain prescription PEMF devices are FDA-cleared as bone growth stimulators for nonunion fractures and as an adjunct to spinal fusion. Those are different machines, prescribed for those specific conditions. They are not what we use here, and we are not claiming their clearances.
OlyLife Tera-P90, a wellness device
The office uses an OlyLife Tera-P90, which pairs low-frequency electromagnetic output with gentle warming. It is a general wellness device. It is not FDA-cleared to diagnose, treat, or cure any condition, and we do not offer it as treatment for one.
A session,
start to finish.
Every session is 30 minutes. How often you come back depends on what you are working on, and we will be honest about that.
Screening
We review your history first, including implanted devices, pregnancy, and anything that would make PEMF a poor fit.
Positioning
A full-body mat, or a smaller applicator placed over a specific area. You stay clothed and comfortable.
The session
Thirty minutes. You rest, fully clothed. Most people feel a mild warmth in the ankles and nothing else.
Afterward
No downtime and no sedation. You drive yourself home and carry on with your day.
Who it suits,
and who it does not.
Screening is not a formality here. Some of these are absolute.
Worth a conversation
Patients already under care here who want a non-drug option to trial alongside their plan, people working through musculoskeletal discomfort or a slow recovery, and anyone curious who wants a straight answer about what it can and cannot do.
We will not treat you if
You have an implanted electronic device such as a pacemaker, defibrillator, neurostimulator, or insulin pump. PEMF is also avoided during pregnancy and with active bleeding. Active malignancy and seizure disorders are reviewed case by case.
Common questions.
What does a PEMF session feel like?
It does not hurt. Sessions are 30 minutes and most people find them relaxing and uneventful. The sensation patients mention most often is a mild warmth in the ankles. That is expected from this device and settles on its own. There is no needle and no medication.
Is the device you use FDA-approved?
No, and we want to be plain about that. The office uses an OlyLife Tera-P90, a general wellness device. It is not FDA-cleared to diagnose, treat, or cure any condition. Some prescription PEMF devices do hold FDA clearances for bone healing, but those are different machines and we are not borrowing their credentials.
Who should not have PEMF?
Anyone with an implanted electronic device, including a pacemaker, defibrillator, neurostimulator, or insulin pump. It is also avoided during pregnancy and with active bleeding. Active malignancy and seizure disorders are reviewed individually. We screen for all of this before a first session.
How many sessions will I need?
It depends on how you respond. We start with a short trial and reassess honestly rather than selling a package up front. If you are not noticing anything, we will tell you to stop.
Is PEMF covered by insurance?
No. Wellness PEMF is not a covered benefit and is offered as cash pay. Call the office for current pricing before you book.
Rarely the
whole plan.
PEMF works best as one piece of a broader approach, not on its own.
