PEMF Therapy

Each session begins with a brief assessment to understand your main areas of concern and goals.

Your first session includes approximately 35 minutes on the PEMF machine, allowing your body to gently adjust to the therapy. Session length may increase in future visits based on your comfort and response.

We typically focus on one primary concern and one secondary area, so the session stays targeted and effective.

PEMF is generally well tolerated. Some people may experience temporary responses as the body adjusts, including:

• Changes in bowel movements, urine, sweat, or breath
• Shifts in energy levels (fatigue or increased energy)
• Mild muscle or joint discomfort

These effects are typically short-lived and part of the body's natural adjustment process.

PEMF is not offered to individuals who:

• Have a pacemaker or implanted electronic device
• Are pregnant or breastfeeding
• Are under 18 years of age
• Have recently experienced a stroke

If you have any medical conditions or concerns, please discuss them prior to your session.

PEMF is commonly used as a supportive therapy for:

• Stress and nervous system regulation — helps promote a calmer, more balanced state
• Pain and inflammation support — muscles, joints, and general discomfort
• Recovery and healing — supporting the body after physical strain or injury
• Circulation support — encouraging healthy blood flow
• Energy and fatigue — supporting cellular energy production
• Sleep support — helping the body settle into deeper rest
• General wellness and balance — supporting overall cellular function and regulation

PEMF is not a medical treatment, but a supportive modality that works with the body's natural electrical and magnetic processes.

We measure the entire electromagnetic spectrum of the universe in terms of frequency, using Hertz (Hz).

The Earth naturally emits extremely low-frequency electromagnetic activity. This activity sits within roughly the 0–30 Hz range, with the most well-known resonance—the Schumann resonance—around 7.83 Hz.

PEMF (Pulsed Electromagnetic Field) therapy also operates in the extremely low-frequency range. Many PEMF devices, especially higher-intensity systems, work within approximately 0–50 Hz, using controlled, pulsed electromagnetic fields to support the body's natural electrical and magnetic processes.

In contrast, most modern technologies operate at much higher frequencies:

• Household electricity (North America): ~60 Hz
• Wi-Fi: ~2.4 GHz and 5 GHz
• Cell phones and towers: ~600 MHz to 3.5 GHz, and higher (including 24 GHz+ for some 5G systems)

So while we are always surrounded by electromagnetic fields, the difference lies in frequency, intensity, and purpose:

• Earth & PEMF: low-frequency, foundational, and biologically relevant ranges
• Modern EMFs: higher-frequency, constant, and designed for communication

PEMF is not a medical treatment, but a supportive modality that works with the body's natural electrical and magnetic functions to help support cellular activity and regulation.

It depends on your plan — but it can be. Some private extended health plans will consider reimbursement with a Letter of Medical Necessity from your doctor. If you have a clinical depression diagnosis, you may have stronger grounds for a claim, as PEMF shares the same electromagnetic mechanism as TMS — which is clinically approved for depression. It's always worth asking your provider. We have a free guide to help you navigate the process — just reach out.

Research suggests it can be. Multiple completed Phase III clinical trials have studied PEMF specifically for treatment-resistant depression, showing meaningful results in patients who had not responded to conventional medication. PEMF works on the same electromagnetic principle as Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) — a therapy that holds FDA approval for depression with response rates of 50–60% in treatment-resistant patients.

While PEMF is not yet a mainstream prescribed treatment for depression in Canada, Health Canada continues to monitor and evaluate emerging electromagnetic therapies as the clinical evidence grows. For those who have found limited relief through medication or therapy alone, PEMF is an increasingly recognized complementary option worth exploring with your healthcare provider.
