Veterinary applications of [Pulsed Electromagnetic Field Therapy].
Highlights
- PEMF treatment is increasingly being used for both human and veterinary care.
- PEMF devices deliver electromagnetic fields to tissue to promote healing.
- Basic and clinical research on PEMF treatment has matured over the last decade.
- Evidence supports PEMF treatment for fractures, pain, wounds, and other indications.
- PEMF, as part of multi modal treatment, may improve veterinary clinical outcomes.
Pulsed electromagnetic field (PEMF) therapy can non-invasively treat a variety of diseases and symptoms by delivering electric and magnetic fields to tissues via inductive coils. The electromagnetic fields generated by these devices have been found to affect a variety of biological processes and basic science understanding of the underlying mechanisms of action of PEMF treatment has accelerated in the last 10 years. Accumulating clinical evidence supports the use of PEMF therapy in both animals and humans for specific clinical indications including bone healing, wound healing, osteoarthritis and inflammation, and treatment of post-operative pain and edema. It is increasingly being prescribed by veterinarians.
The data reviewed show the usefulness of PEMF treatment as a safe, non-invasive treatment modality that has the potential to become an important stand-alone or supportive treatment modality in veterinary care.
