← Return to PEMF for treatment of Osteoporosis - Is it effective?

Having to wear a device for 3 hours seems to me to be uncomfortable. My view would be to have a mat that you could lie on at night and have some loops that you can target specific areas on the body in the morning. Excellent that your unit worked on bones. Could you advise the make of the machine and its specifications, mainly its intensity range usually reported as ''gaus''
Most devices seem to be manufactured in Europe and are low intensity with insufficient power for bone repair despite their claim. I am now looking at a device from China that has a varying intensity ranging 1000-6000 gaus and think this unit would be powerful enough to assist with bone repair / regeneration. I personally have no interest in the medications for osteoporosis, good commissions for doctors and pharma but poor result for patients. Regardless of age bone cells die and are replaced naturally by the immune system through exercise and diet. Changing ones lifestyle, adding supplements, calcium, vita D & K2 plus a regular pemf should help to regenerate bone.

This device is by prescription only and lasts one year. It is the OrthoFix PhysioStim for the shoulder. I will text my OrthoFix rep on Monday to ask about the gaus rating. I will also ask her about mats. I wish there were mats such as you described powerful enough to help our bones readily available and proven safe. I am so thankful for this device. By the way, it was not uncomfortable or intrusive. The medical field in the US is primarily using PEMF for delayed or non-union fractures instead of maintenance to improve bone health.
