In my experience, almost everyone benefits from PEMF therapy and very frequently they can avoid procedures and decrease or avoid the use of medications. PEMFs have been proven in numerous studies to affect various aspects of the pain process. I frequently recommend magnetic therapies for people in chronic pain (usually before anything else) so that they can avoid complications and side effects, and because PEMFs usually provide a reliable degree of pain relief, through convenient treatments done at home. Because of my years of experience, I resolve to find better, more helpful healing solutions that will work to resolve the underlying causes while at the same time providing safe, effective pain relief. Chronic pain (especially from arthritis, lumbar stenosis, injury, failed surgeries, etc.) is not expected to be fully cured because the underlying chronic problem doesnвЂ™t go away. Having practiced medicine for more than 40 years, IвЂ™ve become very familiar with the different patterns of pain. Rarely will a single approach solve the problem. The most effective pain management strategies require multiple concurrent approaches, especially for chronic pain. Because of all these variables, pain management should be tailored to each person individually. Pain mechanisms are complex and have local tissue and central nervous system aspects. It depends on the source of the pain (which is many times different than the location of the pain), and whether the pain is acute or chronic. Our ability to relieve pain is variable and unpredictable. In some research, PEMFs were found to be equivalent to 10mg of morphine вЂ“ all of this aside from the natural healing responses PEMFs trigger in the body. Animal studies show that PEMFs reduce the pain receptors in the brain. People who have failed to find relief from other modalities will often find relief using PEMFs. But in 3 months, 6 months, or a year after the treatment, the problem returns, sometimes with more severity, because the underlying cause was not dealt with. Yes, people will temporarily feel better and get on with their lives. So this becomes a huge disservice to the patient вЂ“ they are given false hope that this approach to treatment (whether itвЂ™s surgery or an injection) is going to truly resolve their problem. Most doctors donвЂ™t tell their patient that the problem will linger and require lifetime management. ItвЂ™s only once these traditional options have failed (or presented dramatic side effects) that people do their own research on alternative treatments. Almost everyone we speak with has tried traditional medical management of their pain before they consider alternative options. Most people find PEMFs at the end of a long search for an answer to their pain. Only a well-informed consumer (or well-rounded, holistic practitioner) can see past the parlors and find out what other options may exist. ItвЂ™s not to say that the specialists are not well-meaning (they almost always are), but that they cannot see beyond their own parlor. If you end up in the wrong parlor, your problem may be addressed in the wrong way. I like to refer to these as вЂњparlorsвЂќ вЂ“ parlors of neurosurgery, orthopedics, pain management, natural medicine, massage, etc. You go to a specialist for a problem and that specialist has a single approach to dealing with your problem. But PEMF therapy for pain should be considered. Rarely will conventional doctors refer patients to alternative modalities like acupuncture, massage, or chiropractic therapy, let alone PEMFs. Current conventional medical approaches to pain management often leave much to be desired and involve heavy medications, procedures, surgeries, and physical therapy. bilateral lesions of reticular nuc.Pain management is one of the most common applications for PEMFs. reticular nucleus- exception nucleus that receives input from brainstem reticular activating system and projects only back to thalamus itself to regulat flow of info through thalamus Association Nuclei: who receive input primarily from cortex and project to association cortices to help modulate cortical activity.Relay Nuclei: who receive, process, and gate the passage of a specific type or types of information going to the cortex and coming from other specific locations, whether it's somato-sensation from the face, somato-sensation from the body, modulatory motor information from the cerebellum or basal ganglia, visual information from the eyes, and so forth.All of these nuclei project to cerebral cortex, and receive reciprocal projections from cortex a group of CNS neuronal cell bodies with an agenda
