Contrary to popular belief, not all PEMF is the same. Each Company has its frequency, wave, and intensity.
Let's take a look at the big companies out there. Pulse PEMF, Magnawave, and Bemer. All of these companies are very well known to the market.
Magnawave
Magnawave offers a variety of machine options, including analog, spark gap chambers, and digital models, all of which feature a strength control button and timer. The wave patterns utilized in their products are called sawtooth waves; they resemble a wave with substantial peaks and valleys. Once the wave enters the body, it creates a quick and potent contraction, similar to a nail piercing the skin. However, measuring Gauss levels can be tricky, so seeking professional guidance for accurate readings is essential. Magnawave's most powerful machine is said to produce around 8,000 gauss. (5)
Bemer
Bemer Blankets are a form of PEMF (pulsed electromagnetic field) therapy that utilizes low-frequency and low-intensity devices. (6) These blankets emit a sine with a gradual increase in amplitude, followed by a drop-off before the next pulse. (1) This therapy is typically administered for 10 to 15 minutes and is an ideal option for busy barns that require a quick and convenient PEMF session. When providing your horse with a daily wellness routine, your PEMF blanket is a great choice. It's affordable, timely, and delivers low-intensity and low-frequency PEMF.
Pulse PEMF
Pulse PEMF is a high-intensity unit; Pulse offers analog, spark gap chambers, and digital machines and utilizes a square wave to enter the body. All Pulse machines are controlled by dials, giving the practitioner much more control of the machine's desired strength. Gauss is difficult to measure on these machines due to its frequent changes.(3)
Compared to Magnawave, Pulse and Bemer have a more prolonged cellular contraction, meaning longer stimulation time. (1) Despite its potential benefits, Bemer is a low-intensity, low-frequency technology. Comparatively, Pulse PEMF can accomplish in an hour what the Bemer blanket can do in two weeks. (1) Similarly, Magnawave, while stronger than Bemer, may still require up to 3 hours due to how its wave enters the body. (1)
It is common for practitioners and consumers of Pulsed Electromagnetic Field (PEMF) therapy to assert the superiority of their chosen technology. As for myself, I have opted for the Pulse PEMF machine due to the ease with which the body tolerates the pulsing, as well as the immediate results I have experienced. Numerous other individuals, including both humans and animals, have similarly testified to the efficacy of the Pulse PEMF machine. Notably, the customizable strength dial feature of the Pulse machine has proven to be particularly advantageous in adjusting the intensity of the square wave. Furthermore, the Pulse machine is more efficient than the Magnawave and BEMER machines, as it produces faster results and, in my opinion, longer lasting.
