SCROLL DOWN TO SEARCH OUR RESEARCH LIBRARY - ORGANISED BY CONDITION.
PEMF at its most focussed is a clinically well-evidenced treatment modality that operates at the level of cellular processes.
As with many clinical and scientific applications, its precise mechanisms are only partially understood.
However there is a compellingly large (and rapidly expanding!) body of high-quality formal research that makes PEMF therapy's clinical application an ever more authoritative proposition.
This research production culminated in the seminal 2021 meta-analysis of Mansourian and Shanei which drew together clinical research findings from over 2400 separate peer-reviewed studies/trials here.
The formal analysis of 20 years of global clinical research provides us with a foundational basis for determining the most clinical effective Intensity/Frequency levels for PEMF systems.
Intensity Range:
10-100 gauss (1-10 MilliTesla)
Frequency Range:
1-100 Hz
All our devices deliver programmable intensities and frequencies across this range and slightly beyond.
It is worth observing that intensity reduces with distance from the PEMF source. Hence it is necessary therefore that devices are able to produce more than 100 gauss - in order to achieve effective treatment deep into the body. Hence our devices are capable of up to 400 gauss.
Source: Mansourian and Shanei here.
This growing research production is providing ever greater clarity as to the biological mechanisms and pathways through which PEMF acts. There are now solid and clinically identifiable cellular markers/processes with clearly measurable outcomes.
And significantly. This is all achieved through the application of a simple, affordable, rapid, safe, non-invasive, drug-free, side-effect free, methodology
The evidence base listed in our Research Library (below), ranges across studies: From osteoporosis to osteoarthritis. And from tendonitis and ligament lesions through to cartilage and accelerated bone regeneration. And from to Coronary Arterial Disease through to Hypertension.
Similarly, its growing use among people with a range of non-specific or poorly understood conditions involving pain and inflammatory responses such as Fibromyalgia, CFS and Lupus, has now been investigated in detail through numerous double-blind university and hospital led research studies.
PEMF is also being increasingly being used professionally in the treatment of more acute injuries and disorders such as in wound and soft tissue healing, musculoskeletal problems, range of motion problems and non-union fractures.
The LaMagneto family of devices, meet all the EU Class2A testing and certification requirements - which are obligatory for all medical grade devices (covering: quality/safety/efficacy)
And finally, we are proud that we were also the first PEMF provider globally - to have successfully gone through the new, post-Brexit, UK Medical Device (Class 2A) registration process.

19. Cancer
There is a growing body of evidence finding that PEMF can be helpful for people with certain specific types of cancer. We are not qualified to evaluate to advise of course and strongly advise that you should discuss this with your oncologist before making any decisions. The referenced research papers below should be seen as a start point for such investigation, by a qualified specialist, as to the possible suitability of PEMF for particular, individual cases:
20. Lymphatic System
https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/32250722/
21. Sleep Disturbance
https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/11697020/
And, Rather than list all the research links we will “stand on the shoulders of giants” and refer you to the extremely comprehensive research databases at:
- 43 pages of searchable clinical research studies/trials at the US National Library of Medicine.
Just enter your particularly condition along with the word PEMF. (e.g PEMF Multiple Sclerosis):

PEMF Therapy safety
PEMF is has been used for many decades and a large number of clinical studies have concluded it to be safe - even at much much higher intensities than we use.
