arthritis OVERVIEW

Most forms of arthritis are thought to be caused by a fault in the immune system that causes the body to attack its own tissues in the joints. This may be inherited genetically. Other forms of arthritis can be caused by problems with the immune system or by a metabolic condition, such as gout.  Most kinds of arthritis cause pain and swelling in your joints. Joints are places where two bones meet, such as your elbow or knee.

​

THERAPY OVERVIEW

Low frequency pulsed electromagnetic field (PEMF) can provide noninvasive, safe and easy to apply method to treat pain, inflammation and dysfunctions associated with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and osteoarthritis (OA) and PEMF has a long term record of safety. The analysis of various studies of arthritis, cell culture systems and clinical trials reporting the use of PEMF for arthritis cure has conclusively shown that PEMF not only alleviates the pain in the arthritis condition but it also affords chondroprotection, exerts antiinflammatory action and helps in bone remodeling and this could be developed as a viable alternative for arthritis therapy.

effectiveness

​In recent years, several studies have supported the effectiveness of the application of pulsed electromagnetic fields in the treatment of osteoarthritis. A 2012 study analysed the use of PEMPs by comparing patients with osteoarthritis of the knee who received this therapy and patients who received a placebo treatment. Nearly 1,000 patients participated in the study, which resulted in a significant improvement in osteoarthritis in patients who had been treated with pulsed electromagnetic fields
