Fast Lane Farms PEMF Therapy
What is PEMF?
PEMF (Pulsed Electromagnetic Field) therapy involves the use of electromagnetic fields to improve overall health and well-being. The basic idea behind PEMF is that the body's cells and tissues can be influenced by electromagnetic fields, and exposure to these fields can promote healing and accelerate recovery. During a PEMF session, the machine generates a pulsing electromagnetic field through loops strategically placed over the body of the animal, which penetrate the body on a cellular level. This penetrating magnetic field aids in cellular metabolism, including promoting circulation, reducing inflammation, and supporting overall cellular health. This form of therapy is non-invasive and uses the body’s own natural processes to accelerate healing and promote overall wellness.
How often should horses receive PEMF Therapy?
The frequency of Pulsed Electromagnetic Field (PEMF) therapy for horses can vary depending on the specific needs of the individual horse. PEMF therapy is often used in the equine industry to promote overall health, support injury recovery, and to manage various conditions. PEMF can also aid in detection of body soreness that otherwise would be overlooked. For this reason, it is advised that horses receive a minimum of one session per month so that any potential underlying issues can be managed proactively.
For general wellness and maintenance, some horse owners incorporate PEMF therapy into their routine on a weekly or bi-weekly basis. However, if the horse is undergoing rehabilitation for an injury or dealing with a specific health issue, more frequent sessions may be recommended. In such cases, daily or several times a week sessions may be appropriate, especially during the initial phases.
It's important to note that the duration of each PEMF session can also vary, typically ranging from 20 to 60 minutes, depending on the specific needs of each horse.
What are the benefits of PEMF Therapy?
Improved Circulation:
PEMF is believed to enhance blood flow, which benefits tissues by increasing oxygen and nutrient supply. Improved circulation aids in the healing of injuries and reduces inflammation. This increase in circulation can also promote nutrient absorption so that feed and supplements are better utilized by the body.
Pain Management:
PEMF therapy is often used for pain management in horses, particularly for musculoskeletal issues such as arthritis, soft tissue injuries, managing navicular, and aiding in the progression of hoof abscesses. PEMF in some cases has even helped to re-establish sweating in horses that suffer from bouts of anhidrosis.
Enhanced Recovery:
PEMF therapy may contribute to faster recovery from injuries or strenuous activities by promoting cellular repair and regeneration. This can be particularly beneficial for performance horses that spend lots of hours hauling or those involved in intense training.
Cellular Repair and Regeneration:
PEMF therapy is believed to stimulate cellular repair and regeneration. Healthy cells are essential for a robust immune response, and PEMF helps maintain and restore cellular health.
Reduced Inflammation:
PEMF therapy has been associated with anti-inflammatory effects, which can be beneficial for managing conditions involving inflammation, such as injuries or chronic joint issues. PEMF is known to support joint mobility and aid in management of common joint conditions (epiphysitis, OCD lesions).
Stress Reduction:
PEMF may have a calming effect on horses, reducing stress and anxiety. This can be helpful in situations such as travel, showing, or changes in environment.
Enhanced Detoxification:
Some proponents of PEMF therapy argue that it may aid in detoxification processes at the cellular level. Efficient detoxification can contribute to a healthier immune system.
