A PEMF session can vary for each client. Diet, lifestyle, activity level, hydration, general health, and stress levels all contribute to how PEMF will work and how you, your equine, or pet feels after sessions. If there is an underlying issue, the MagnaWave Session can bring it to the surface much quicker than if it was to manifest itself – you always want to work in conjunction with a doctor or veterinarian for optimal wellness.
There are a few contraindications when using PEMF. These are applicable to anyone that will be within 8-10 feet of the session area.
If you have any concerns, please speak with your physician or veterinarian before beginning MagnaWave sessions!
It is important to hydrate before and after a session. Please remove all electronic devices, including cell phones, watches, key fobs and credit cards from the session area. If you are wearing hearing aides or insulin pumps, please remove them as well. Items should be at least 8-10 feet away from the PEMF Machine.
For equine, MagnaWave can be used pre-event, however, we recommend that you try MagnaWave ahead of time, since different horses/pets react differently to a session. We have found that some clients are more relaxed after the therapy, so they might not have the same edge before an event. Other clients are not affected in that way and are ready to perform.
During a session, the blood oxygen is increased, lymphatic system is activated and acupuncture points are stimulated. This process reduces pain and inflammation and promotes healing. The oxygenation of the blood helps relieve inflammation, thus relieving pain and helping the body begin to heal itself naturally.
» You may see muscle fasciculations, especially in areas of greater sensitivity or injury
» General overall relaxation & sense of wellbeing
» Some may see an immediate reduction of inflammation & increased range of motion
There is no recovery time, and normal activities may continue immediately following a session. There may be an increase in the consumption of water and more frequent bowel movements. You should see reduction of inflammation & increased range of motion followed by general overall relaxation. Be sure to keep hydrated!
WHAT IS THE HERXHEIMER REACTION?
The Herxheimer Reaction is an immune system reaction to the toxins (endotoxins) that are released when large amounts are killed off, and the body does not eliminate the toxins quickly enough. Simply stated, it is a reaction that occurs when the body is detoxifying and the released toxins either exacerbate the symptoms being treated or create their own symptoms. The important thing to note is that worsening symptoms do not indicate failure of the treatment in question; in fact, usually just the opposite. As the body detoxifies, it is not uncommon to experience flu-like symptoms including headache, joint and muscle pain, body aches, sore throat, general malaise, sweating, chills, nausea or other symptoms. The biggest problem with the Herxheimer Reaction is that people stop having the PEMF sessions that are causing the reaction, and thus discontinue the very treatment that helping to make them better. Although the experience may not make you feel particularly good, the Herxheimer Reaction is actually a sign that the body is setting itself up to heal itself. Not every person experiences this reaction, but it is a possibility.
Always work in conjunction with your physician and veterinarian for optimal wellness.
