About

What it is:​

Pulsed Electromagnetic Field (PEMF) therapy is a non-invasive, drug-free treatment that uses low-frequency electromagnetic waves to stimulate the body’s natural healing processes. The therapy delivers gentle, pulsating energy through a coil or pad placed near or on the animal’s body. These pulses penetrate deep into tissues, muscles, and even bones, improving cellular function and circulation.

How it Works

Every cell in an animal’s body functions using tiny electrical charges. When an animal is injured, stressed, or experiencing illness, the electrical potential of the cells can become imbalanced. PEMF devices create magnetic fields that mimic the Earth’s natural frequencies, recharging the cells and restoring their ability to absorb nutrients, expel waste, and repair themselves efficiently.

 

The process:

​

1. Energy Delivery – The PEMF device emits electromagnetic pulses that pass painlessly through skin, fur, and tissue.

2. Cellular Stimulation – These pulses interact with cell membranes, improving ion exchange and boosting mitochondrial energy production (ATP).

3. Enhanced Healing – Increased cellular energy promotes faster tissue repair, reduced inflammation, and improved circulation.

 

Benefits for Animals

​

PEMF therapy has been shown to help:

• Reduce Pain & Inflammation – Calms irritated tissues and lowers swelling.

• Speed Healing – Accelerates recovery from injuries, wounds, or surgeries.

• Increase Circulation – Improves oxygen and nutrient delivery to tissues.

• Support Joint & Muscle Health – Loosens tight muscles, eases arthritis stiffness.

• Enhance Performance & Recovery – Common in equine and canine sports for reducing fatigue and improving flexibility.

• Promote Relaxation – Many animals become visibly calm during sessions, reducing stress and anxiety.

• Improve Hoof, Bone & Tendon Health – Supports stronger structure and quicker healing in large animals like horses and livestock.

 

Common Uses by Animal Type

 

Horses – Muscle soreness, tendon and ligament injuries, back pain, hoof issues, arthritis, pre/post-event performance support.

Dogs – Arthritis, hip dysplasia, post-surgery healing, sports injuries, chronic pain.

Livestock – Injury recovery, joint health, wound healing, and stress reduction in cattle, pigs, and goats.

Exotics & Small Animals – Pain management, mobility improvement, and faster healing from illness or injury.

 

What to Expect During a Session

 

Animals remain awake and comfortable — no sedation is needed.

A loop, pad, or blanket device is placed over the affected area or used to target the whole body.

Sessions typically last 15–45 minutes, depending on the animal’s needs.

Most animals show visible signs of relaxation: drooping eyes, licking, chewing, yawning, or even dozing off.

A treatment plan may involve multiple sessions over several days or weeks for optimal results.

 

Safety & Side Effects

 

PEMF therapy is considered very safe for most animals. Side effects are rare and typically mild, such as temporary tiredness or increased thirst after treatment. It is not recommended for animals with:

Implanted electronic devices (like pacemakers)

Active bleeding

Pregnant animals (precautionary use)

Certain cancers, unless under veterinary guidance

 

Why It’s Popular in Animal Care

 

Veterinarians, trainers, and animal rehab specialists use PEMF because it’s:

Non-invasive

Drug-free

Comfortable for animals

Effective for both acute injuries and chronic conditions

 

It can be used alongside veterinary care to complement other treatments such as chiropractic adjustments, massage therapy, acupuncture, and traditional medicine.
