Nick was told about Pulsed Electromagnetic Field therapy (PEMF) by a family friend. He used the Magnetovital Wellness PEMF therapy device twice a day. Morning setting 13 and afternoon setting 2. He told us…
‘‘Following an attack working the doors and through a lifetime as a carpenter, I have been living in constant daily pain. PEMF therapy has helped me to get back in control of my life and allowed me to continue working without the daily struggle.’’
Being on his feet all day every day has taken its toll on his body over the years and has left him with terrible pains all over but especially in his right knee. Nick told us that when he was a few years younger he used to burn the candle at both ends and would work throughout the day on a building site and then work the doors as a bouncer in the evening. One night he turned a group of young lads away from the door as they were clearly too drunk to enter and thought nothing of it. An hour later the group returned, armed with various weapons. The ringleader used an axe handle to attack Nick, smashing his shoulder to pieces. Following this incident and the years of wear and tear on his body which comes with being a carpenter he always suffers from pain in his knees and shoulder.
“I hardly ever have a full night’s sleep due to the pain I suffer. I find it hard to lie on my shoulder and toss and turn throughout the night to find a comfortable position. Recently my work has been really affected by my right knee in particular. Every day I work in constant pain, but some days it’s so unbearable I cannot even go into work that day. The cold seems to make it a lot worse and I suffer more with work throughout the winter months. Being self-employed this really has an effect on my bank balance and reputation as well. I have been to the doctors on numerous occasions but they keep turning me away. I have been told in the past ‘’it’s just something you have to deal with getting older’’ and ‘’just take painkillers and try not to use your knee as much’’. How am I supposed to use my knee less when I am a self-employed carpenter!? It’s just impossible! I have tried supports and gels, but nothing seems to change my daily struggle. I was taking painkillers every day to ensure I could get through each day at work, despite the risks of continued use of painkillers and anti-inflammatory drugs.
A few months ago now, a family friend mentioned PEMF. It didn’t take me long to dismiss the idea, as I thought it was just another holistic product that could only have placebo effects on people. After meeting up with them again and hearing how PEMF therapy had helped them in the past and to hear the enthusiasm in their voice, I was interested to see if this really could help me in my situation. I looked into it more and started using the mat once in the morning and once in the evening. I easily managed to integrate it into my day to day routine.
Literally the second day I felt 10 years younger. I seemed to have more energy using it on a higher setting in the morning before work. Towards the end of the first week, my knee and shoulder were feeling less painful. I was back at work every day and I seemed to go throughout the day thinking about the pain less and less. I have always been sceptical about products to help me with my pain as they have had little or no effect, but this time I was in disbelief.
A short way into the second week I was sleeping like a baby. It felt so much easier to get up in the morning after a long night’s sleep and less pain in my knee and shoulder. My working life got so much easier and I was able to take on so much more than I would have been able to just a few weeks before. I keep up with the therapy, and I genuinely felt like a different person. I was attacked on the door nearly 20 years ago now and ever since then I have been suffering from this injury. I finally feel like I have control back of my life and I can work without the daily struggle.”
