Over 80% of the Untied States population suffers from non-specific lower back pain, and is the second most common cause of disability in the United States. Despite many forms of treatments such as over the counter painkillers, muscle relaxants and endless chiropractic visits there is no definite solution to this problem. 

Pulsed electromagnetic therapy is newer, safer and non-invasive way to decrease or eliminate back pain. As showed in this randomized controlled study, the use of PEMF Therapy combined with conventional physical therapy showed an improvement in pain intensity, disability and lumbar movement. 

The study included a total of 50 participants with non-specific lower back pain that were split into two groups of 25. The control group of 25 received physical therapy and placebo PEMF therapy and the experimental group of 25 received physical therapy  along with PEMF Therapy at 50 Hz frequency and a low intensity of 20 gauss. (Recommended parameters from the World Health Organization).

The significance in pain intensity, disability and lumbar movement are show in this table:

You may ask, how exactly does PEMF Therapy improve back pain?

PEMF Therapy works with your body in increase blood circulation and oxygen levels in your tissues by recharging cells so that they can repair and perform at an optimum level. As a result this alleviates pain, decreases inflammation and regenerates damaged/diseased tissues.
