Pulsed Electromagnetic Field Therapy (PEMF)

PEMF (pulsed electromagnetic field) therapy is a session in which a device, such as a mat or pad, sends gentle pulsing magnetic fields into your body. You lie or sit on it fully clothed, and most people feel little or nothing. There is some evidence it may ease long-lasting low back pain, but it did not lift mood in a careful trial: see “PEMF: what the research says”. If you have a pacemaker or other electronic implant, or are expecting a baby, check with your doctor first.
