PEMF therapy can be instrumental in the healing of chronic wounds. There are far less studies on the use of PEMF therapy for the benefit of wound healing than there are for other types of injury. However, the evidence is clear that PEMF therapy has a tremendous impact on the process by which this healing occurs. PEMF therapy accelerates wound healing because it has been shown to stimulate the regeneration of nerves and tissues. The FDA approved the use of PEMF therapy for the healing of delayed and non-union fractures, but at this time the FDA has still not given the approval to use this as a prescribed treatment for wound healing.
There are many types of wounds that may benefit from this therapy including:
- acute wounds
- bed sores
- diabetic ulcers
- post-operative wounds
- pressure wounds
- vascular ulcers
