PEMF appears to be improving the healing of injuries by increasing chondrocyte, osteoblast, fibrocyte and endothelial mitosis in cells and to lower inflammatory cytokines to speed up healing of bone fractures (as well as surgery & far safer), traumatic brain injury, cartilage tears, venous ulcers, stress, muscles, skin wounds, ligaments, nerves, capillaries, damaged tissue, wounds, diabetes, grafts, heart attacks, and strokes.

Using PEMF for sleep
Additional PEMF Device Reviews
My Experience
Using ICES M1 PEMF with its sleep setting works as well for me as a free Binaural Beats Builder app in getting me into delta sleep. They both take away the anxiety that I won’t get back to sleep, and both deepen my sleep. Used together, they work stronger than either one individually.
Getting PEMF for its injury healing is great just for that, as does the ICES & Earthpulse. ICES also has a transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) setting. That standalone machine usually costs $50,000, so if you have depression or autism & want to see if TMS works for you, ICES may be the best option. The inventor is the creator of PEMF originally, and his ICES is his continued & refined version. All other versions are based on his original PEMF machines.
