Doctor OZ TV Show on Pulsed Electromagnetic Therapy

Dr. OZ - Introducing PEMF

Let me begin by saying that Dr. Oz does not approve of or sponsor any particular product and his TV show discussed the technology of PEMF and not the names of the makers.

I am Chris Cane and our firm Amjo Corp specializes in the sale of PEMF systems at our website www.Curatron.com. The Curatron 2000 system is one of the workhorses of this field and Amjo has been selling Curatron 2000 systems here in the USA since the year 2000.

Over the last couple of days we’ve received a several phone calls from people who watched Dr. Oz’ TV show about Pulsed Electromagnetic Therapy. If you missed it, the videos can be found at his website: www.doctoroz.com

PEMF of Pulsed Electromagetic Field Therapy is not new. It is however new to the medical profession here in the USA when it comes to the use of PEMF in the areas of pain relief. The FDA has approved the technology  for certain types of fracture healing and I learned that Health Canada has approved device for knee pain.

The quoted text that follows  “Pulsed electromagnetic field therapy is a new approach to pain management that uses magnets to create pulsing, moving energy. These energy waves could change the way your body copes with pain. Learn more about this new treatment. Could it work for you?

Pulsed electromagnetic field (PEMF) therapy is FDA-approved to fuse bones and has been cleared in certain devices to reduce swelling and joint pain. Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) and Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) work on the same physics.

This therapy has been used to treat pain and edema in soft tissue for over 60 years. The technology stemmed from radio frequency (RF) diathermy, which utilized a continuous electromagnetic field to produce heat in soft tissue.

A moving – or resonating – magnetic field can create currents without heating and thus directly alter cellular signaling. It has been firmly established that tissues including blood, muscle, ligaments, bone and cartilage respond to biophysical input, including electrical and electromagnetic fields. New studies show that with the proper field intensity and frequency, treatment with PEMF appears to be disease-modifying. The stimulation of TGFβ may be a mechanism by which PEMF favorably affects cartilage homeostasis. Through calcium-calmodulin-dependent pathways, PEMF may also increase nitric oxide activity.”
