What is High-Powered PEMF Therapy?
High-powered pulsed electromagnetic field (PEMF) therapy uses strong electromagnetic pulses to stimulate cellular repair, reduce inflammation, and promote healing. Unlike low-intensity PEMF, our high-powered systems deliver deeper tissue penetration, making it ideal for addressing chronic pain, fractures, and musculoskeletal issues.
At Life Without Fear Chiropractic in Lexington, KY, we use cutting-edge PEMF technology to enhance your body’s natural healing processes, helping you live pain-free and regain mobility.
Why Choose PEMF Therapy?
Cellular Stimulation
PEMF devices generate electromagnetic pulses that induce small electrical currents in your tissues, mimicking natural cellular activity to boost repair and regeneration.
Deep Tissue Penetration
High-powered PEMF systems penetrate deeper into bones and muscles, promoting healing in hard-to-reach areas and reducing inflammation effectively.
Non-INvasive & Safe
Our PEMF therapy is painless, drug-free, and safe, with no significant side effects, making it suitable for various conditions

-
Chronic Pain: eases low back pain, sciatica, fibromyalgia, & joint pain by reducing inflammation & modulating pain signals.
-
Tendon & Muscle Injuries: Improves tissue oxygenation & reduces swelling for tendon disorders, muscle soreness, & post-surgical recovery.
Wound Healing & Inflammation
-
Enhances microcirculation & tissue regeneration for chronic wounds, like diabetic foot ulcers, & reduces post-surgical swelling.
-
Modulates inflammatory cytokines, aiding recovery in conditions like edema & autoimmune diseases.
Neurological Disorders
-
Depression & Anxiety: Transcranial magnetic stimulation with PEMF can help treat depression by stimulating brain cells.
-
Neurodegenerative Diseases: Preliminary studies suggest benefits for Alzheimer's by reducing inflammation & improving blood flow, though more research is needed.
Sports & Other Applications
-
Sports & Performance: Athletes use PEMF to reduce muscle soreness, accelerate recovery, & enhance performance by improving cellular energy & circulation.
-
Other Conditions: Early evidence suggests benefits for peripheral vascular disease, & gastrointestinal issues.

PEMF FAQs
How are high-powered PEMF devices different from most PEMF devices on the market?
Most PEMF devices are LOW-POWERED & operate anywhere from 3-40 volts. Treatment cycles with such devices can be HUNDREDS OF HOURS & in most cases, the user does not even feel any pulsation from the coil. A HIGH-POWERED PEMF device uses between 5,000-15,000 volts of low-current electricity. This reduces the application cycles to a FRACTION OF THE TIME required with a low-powered PEMF device.
Are there any contraindications for the use of PEMF healing technology?
Yes, if you are pregnant, have any implanted electronic devices, such as a pacemaker, or are going into surgery within 36 hours of a PEMF treatment. People utilizing PEMF treatment on areas that have just received surgery should also avoid higher levels of pulse intensity.
How is PEMF different than a TENS device?
If you've ever used an Electro-stim or TENs device, your first treatment on our devices may feel very similar. A TENS device uses the selected area of the body to conduct current from one applicator to another. The electrical current is what causes your muscles to contract. However, because an electrical current seeks the fastest route through the body's treated area, this is an indication that the electrical current may not fully penetrate the treated area. A high-powered PEMF device radiates a very strong pulsed electromagnetic field into the targeted body part that the magnetic coil is placed over. Thus, the nerves of the muscle lying deep beneath the magnetic coils are stimulated, which then causes deeper muscle contractions.
Is more Intensity better?
In many cases, the greater the intensity yields greater benefits. The magnetic field emanating from the coil radiates only so far, because of the body's skin, muscles, sinew cartilage, fat, and bone which further impede the penetration of the magnetic field. When using a high-powered PEMF device, the level of penetration deepens with increases in the intensity setting.
Are these devices also used on animals?
Absolutely! PEMF is also known widely in the animal community (especially here in Lexington, Kentucky) for its quick and effective healing properties. It is used by derby horses & now is making its way into the zoo industries around the world. It can help regenerate hoof tissue which is one of the most poorly vascularized areas on an animal's body.
