Limfa Therapy?

In clinical trials for anabolics, Dexa results are compared using BMD change%, not T score change%. I’m pretty sure MGH’s Dexa reports would use BMD%. As patients, we all like to use T score to express our Dexa results.

I saw a chart that said 10% improvement in BMD = 1 in T Score, but I haven’t found that to be true.

We have a LIMFA device in our center in Limerick PA.

@naturegirl5 @babs10 it's not new news that PEMF is beneficial to the bones and that's what LIMFA is just more refined.

I was just diagnosed with osteoporosis . Does this device show to be an alternative as a treatment to the medications which are currently being prescribed?

Have you seen positive results or is this just another treatment provided by wellness centers to make money.

Can you tell me if based on your experience this Limfa device is effective to heal i flamatikn and osteoarthritis and meniscus tear in my knees

@cgren12 Great question — and I appreciate the skepticism. LIMFA is not something I would describe as a replacement for osteoporosis medication. Medication decisions should be made with your physician. PEMF is already known to benefit bones.

What we can say is that LIMFA has published/compiled clinical evidence around bone repair, bone density, trabecular bone quality, pain, inflammation, and osteoarticular conditions. In osteoporosis specifically, the available LIMFA material reports improvement in BMD/T-score and trabecular bone quality in a small clinical experience, but it should be viewed as a supportive, non-invasive therapy — not a cure or medication substitute.

At our center, we use it as part of a broader bone health strategy alongside OsteoStrong/osteogenic loading, proper testing, nutrition, supplementation, and physician guidance. You can find lots of good information surrounding electromagnetic technologies and bone health and mechanotransduction and piezo-electric process in the bones that support both strategies. Hope that helps?

@trex Yes — knee osteoarthritis, inflammation, and cartilage/tissue support are actually among the areas where LIMFA has some of its more relevant clinical support.

There is a published knee osteoarthritis study using LIMFA/ELF magnetic field therapy where patients had significant improvements in pain and function over time. LIMFA also has CE-certified knee protocols for gonarthrosis, cartilage repair, tendinitis, trauma, and sprain.

For a meniscus tear, I would not say it “heals” every tear — that depends on the tear type, blood supply, severity, and whether surgery is needed. But it may be a helpful non-invasive support for inflammation, pain, mobility, and tissue recovery.

@vitaledgewellness
thanks so much for your reply . I was told I need 22 sessions for my knees . is that corrct from your experience . can you tell me something about you . are you a Dr ? did you try yourself the device or you had it applied on patients ?
thanks
