At our clinic, we’re always looking for the best ways to support your pet’s comfort, recovery, and long-term health. One of the most powerful and versatile tools we offer is Pulsed Electromagnetic Field therapy (PEMF).
Whether your pet is recovering from surgery, dealing with chronic pain, or showing signs of age-related stiffness and inflammation, PEMF is a safe, non-invasive therapy that supports healing at the cellular level.
You can choose between two great options:
* In-clinic PEMF sessions using clinical-grade equipment
* At-home PEMF therapy with the Assisi Loop, available through our clinic
Both options offer the same proven science—just delivered in different ways to fit your lifestyle and your pet's needs.
What Is PEMF?
PEMF stands for Pulsed Electromagnetic Field therapy. It uses gentle, targeted magnetic pulses to help your pet’s body heal by:
* Improving circulation
* Reducing inflammation
* Encouraging tissue repair
* Supporting pain relief
This technology mimics the Earth's natural magnetic field, which animals naturally absorb while walking on soil or lying on the ground. But most pets today live indoors, walk on pavement, and sleep off the ground—cut off from this natural source of healing energy.
PEMF helps reintroduce this natural, biologically supportive frequency—right where your pet needs it most.
The Science (Made Simple)
Every cell in your pet’s body relies on ATP, a molecule that powers cellular functions. ATP is made inside the mitochondria, the “power plants” of each cell.
When your pet is injured or inflamed, their cells struggle to make ATP—slowing down healing.
PEMF gives cells the boost they need to:
* Produce more ATP
* Restore normal cellular function
* Reduce swelling and pain
* Communicate better with nearby tissues
It also helps the body release Nitric Oxide (NO), a natural molecule that:
* Increases blood flow
* Reduces inflammation
* Accelerates healing
How PEMF Works for Pets
We use PEMF therapy to support pets with:
* Arthritis or age-related joint pain
* Back or neck issues (like IVDD)
* Recovery after surgery or injury
* Wound and tissue healing
* Neurological conditions
* Lameness or stiffness
* Chronic or systemic inflammation
PEMF is gentle, quiet, and calming. Most pets simply lie down and relax during their sessions—and many owners notice improvements after just a few treatments
High vs. Low Power Devices: What’s the Difference?
We offer both high-power PEMF in our clinic and low-power at-home PEMF through the Assisi Loop.
In-Clinic High-Power PEMF
* Stronger and more targeted
* Fewer sessions needed
* 10-minute sessions
* Recommended 1–2x per week
At-Home PEMF (Assisi Loop)
* Lightweight and portable
* Safe for daily use
* 15-minute pre-programmed treatments
* Recommended 1–3x per day
* Pre-loaded with ~150 treatments
Same science, different pace. We can help you decide which option (or combination) is best for your pet’s condition and your routine.
PEMF therapy is very safe for most pets, but there are a few important guidelines:
🚫 Do not use PEMF:
* Over the belly of a pregnant pet
* Near implanted medical devices like pacemakers
* During an active bleed (it increases blood flow)
* On a pet wearing a TENS unit
* During the acute phase of a disc herniation (wait until inflammation subsides)
⚠️ If your pet has a metal implant, PEMF may cause a slight warming sensation. This is usually not harmful, but we will monitor for comfort.
💧 Detox symptoms like mild nausea, fatigue, or temporary discomfort can occur in the early sessions. This is a normal response and can be minimized by making sure your pet is well hydrated.
Why It Works: A Cellular Perspective
Your pet's body is made up of trillions of cells, each with specific functions. Cells have electrical charges and use energy to heal, grow, and communicate.
When a cell is inflamed or injured, it:
* Loses electrical charge
* Stops producing enough energy (ATP)
* Becomes unable to absorb nutrients or release waste
PEMF restores balance by:
* Normalizing cell membrane potential
* Energizing mitochondria
* Reducing chronic inflammation
Think of it like unclogging a traffic jam at the cellular level—once the path is clear, healing can begin.
Real-Life Benefits of PEMF for Pets
✔️ Faster recovery after surgery or injury
✔️ Pain relief without medications
✔️ Improved mobility for aging or arthritic pets
✔️ Reduced inflammation and swelling
✔️ Better wound healing
✔️ Calming effect for anxious or stressed pets
Getting Started at Our Clinic
Interested in PEMF for your pet?
We offer it as part of our rehabilitation program. The first step is to schedule an initial rehab consultation to determine if PEMF is the right fit.
What to Expect:
* Initial rehab consult (~1 hour)
* Once your pet is cleared, schedule 10-minute PEMF sessions
* We typically recommend 1–2 sessions per week to start
