Lulu-cat with arthritis being treated - CopyPulsed electro-magnetic field therapy has been around for a long time.  New advances in research by Ivivi Health Sciences have made the Assisi Portable™ the easiest and most effective way to deliver targeted PEMF therapy. (To learn more about the science behind Assisi’s technology, go to the research page on our website.) By emitting a burst of microcurrent electricity, a field is created which evenly penetrates both soft and hard body tissue around the target area.  This electromagnetic field causes a chemical cascade, which activates the well-known Nitric Oxide cycle.  Nitric Oxide is a key molecule in healing for humans and animals.  The compound is released when we exercise, and when we are injured, for the body to naturally repair itself.

 

The Assisi Portable™ increases Nitric Oxide production to help speed healing of soft and hard tissues–that includes skin, tendons, ligaments, bones and organs.  The specific ratio of frequency to burst width used by the Assisi Portable™ has been found to be the most effective at delivering the amount of current that is similar to what is already used by the body.  More is not always better, and too much Nitric Oxide production can actually slow healing.  When choosing a PEMF device, it is good to know that more power is not correlated with faster healing.

 

In general, tPEMF can be used to speed healing, reduce inflammation, and lower pain levels.  For any kind of orthopedic injury or surgery, the Assisi Portable™ is a great tool to use in the recovery stage.  The field penetrates fur, bandages, and casts to reach all the tissue in the target area.

 

The added benefit of using tPEMF is that pain medications can be greatly reduced or stopped altogether.  This is especially important for dogs who can be seriously injured by pain killers, and cats, who are even less tolerant of pain medication and can have kidney failure from small doses.

 

Any illness which is caused by inflammation may be successfully treated with the Assisi Portable™.  There are numerous reported cases of animals with arthritis getting their quality of life back–running, playing, and jumping after not having felt well for years.  There have also been reports of internal inflammatory problems such as pancreatitis and cystitis resolving in 24 hours.

Treatment depth is about 2/3 the diameter of the applicator, extending out on either side. Targeted PEMF therapy can be used in both acute and chronic conditions.  There are no side effects, and no potential drug interactions or interactions with implants such as hip replacements.  Whether using on a bruise, sprain, tear, or chronic condition such as arthritis, or myelopathies and neuropathies, tPEMF therapy can be used as a primary treatment or adjunct therapy.  For chronic conditions such as arthritis, it often takes a week or two for results to show.  For many animals it replaces pain medication as a long-term treatment.
