What is Pulse PEMF therapy?
Pulse PEMF, which stands for pulsed electromagnetic field, is an innovative treatment that utilizes electromagnetic energy to stimulate healing and correct cellular dysfunction to improve joint mobility, decrease pain, speed up recovery times, and more. During a Pulse PEMF treatment in Atlanta, GA, patients can relax while the noninvasive and virtually painless therapy is performed without the use of needles, injections, incisions, or anesthesia.
