PEMF therapy for Osteoporosis
Osteoporosis is a condition where your bones lose strength, making them more likely to break. It is estimated that osteoporosis affects 3 million people in the UK and causes one broken bone every minute. Women are also more likely to experience Osteoporosis. According to Dr Pawluk (PEMF therapy expert) 1 in 3 women will suffer an osteoporosis fracture and ‘1 in 5 men >50’.
Did you know that one of the benefits of Pulsed Electromagnetic Field (PEMF) therapy is stronger bones?
PEMFs penetrate bones without any absorption, which means they can stimulate the entire volume of the bone in ways that beat almost any other approach. Dr. Pawluk explains in his book, how nutrition, hormones, and supplements saturate the body’s bones and provide the “bricks and mortar” to build new bone. When these are deficient, it is harder for new bone to be built. Even when they are all used together, they still require additional energy to effectively create new bone structures or enhance existing weakened bone. PEMFs provide this energy so the bones can use these building blocks more effectively.
Natural approaches such as PEMFs are safer, non-toxic alternatives to conventional medical therapies that carry other ill health side effects such as gastrointestinal problems.
Medical research has shown that magnetic fields can heal long-standing fractures. The FDA has approved PEMF therapy for the healing of non-union fractures. If you do research online you will come across several studies and evidence of this, and for PEMF and osteoporosis. One clinical trial in osteoporosis-prone women used PEMF therapy for 12 weeks and had their bone density analysed before, during and after the use of PEMF. The data collected confirmed that properly applied PEMFs for whole-body use could prevent and treat osteoporosis throughout the whole body.
PEMF therapy can be helpful for people with osteoporosis but cannot be relied upon as a sole treatment. Along with exercise, supplements, and diet PEMF therapy can assist in preventing osteoporosis. Dr. Pawluk recommends using PEMFs as soon as possible before severe osteoporosis starts. Royal Osteoporosis Society also recommend Vitamin D to help. Combining PEMF therapy with the above will provide you the best results and benefits.
If you’re thinking of using PEMF therapy to help prevent and improve symptoms of osteoporosis, ourselves along with Dr Pawluk recommend investing in a high intensity, full body system. This will provide all of the bones in your body with PEMF coverage. Our list of high intensity, full body systems can be found on our website or you can contact us to speak to a member of the team about which system would suit you and your needs.

Hello Jade, I have just received the result from a second DEXA scan – the first was back in 2009 when I was diagnosed with osteoporosis in one hip and osteopenia in the other and the lumbar spine. In 2009 I elected not the take the prescribed bisphosphonate drugs as I was afraid of the side effects and followed a natural treatment of diet and supplements. Over the years I have not adhered strictly to this and I am now concerned that the second DEXA scan shows I am at high risk of bone fracture. I already have a Magnovital PEMF mat which I bought from NewMed in 2018 for back and hip pain. I would like to know what would be the optimum PEMF protocol for osteoporosis (the guide suggests programme 13 but can you tell me what frequency this is?), plus any other advice or information you can provide will be gratefully received. Thank you, Pauline
Hi Pauline,
I do apologize for the delayed response, we did not see your comment. If you still need some more information on using your Magnetovital system or want to know more about how PEMF therapy can help with osteoporosis, please email us at info@newmedltd.co.uk. A member of our team would be happy to help you.
