In addition to working with the biodensity machine weekly at Ultimate Chirocare I have been seeing Dr. Zumhagen every 6 weeks or so for nutritional testing for the past 6 months. He introduced me to PEMF, Pulsed Electro Magnetic Field therapy. You simply lie down on a typical patient bed with a magnetic pad on it. The machine pulses the magnetic field evenly through your body for 3 minutes. It feels a little like the electrical stimulation machine at a physical therapist's office.
Dr. Zumhagen mentioned that PEMF has been shown to increase bone density. Research articles I've found on Google Scholar have confirmed that. One study showed that PEMF appeared to decrease the number of osteoclasts (bone eating cells) in mice. Another study found that 3 times weekly treatment with PEMF increased bone density in children with rheumatoid arthritis.
