With any external electrical stimulation, the current will follow the path of least resistance from your skin to your tissues. That often gives some tissues more current than they require and other tissues less than they need. This is a limitation of external electrical devices and possibly why they sometimes don’t help. However, magnetic fields penetrate through and through, so that your tissues get the benefit of microcurrents generated on site!
With PEMF, the electrodes never touch you. You are bathed in a magnetic field. It turns out that your body is “transparent” to the field. Unlike electricity, which meets resistance, a magnetic field is virtually unaltered going through your body. When the magnetic field pulsates, it generates electrical flow (microcurrents) throughout the distribution of the pulsating magnetic field. These micro currents generate right inside the target tissues. They’re no longer dependent on an unobstructed electrical flow from electrodes on your skin.

The effects of magnetic fields happen because of how they act on ions (calcium, sodium, potassium, magnesium), so these levels need to be correct in the body. Many believe that magnesium supplements are beneficial. Ensure your horse has access to adequate, clean drinking water to help rid him of toxins. Adequate nutrition is essential.

Oxygen deprivation, physical agents, chemical agents (for example, in your horse’s grazing area), infectious agents, immunologic reactions, genetics, *nutritional imbalances*, mechanical trauma (injury, fractures, etc.), temperature extremes, and changes in atmosphere. Cellular injury progresses through various stages, during any of which repair may be possible if adequately treated.

It varies by person and animal. After an initial appointment, we will work together to develop a schedule based on your needs! For an acute problem, your horse may require several sessions in closure succesion. You can then spread treatments out to become part of your horse's regular maintenance program. Jaimie always tells her clients that their horse will tell the rider when they are ready for another treatment!

When the magnetic field hits a damaged or diseased area, the flow of energy is impeded, causing a “jumping” of the muscles in the form of pulsing and flinching. When there’s not an impedance, the energy flows right through. Fascia is an interconnected covering of the muscles that connects everything to everything else. This means that tissues far away from the source can be affected. PEMF helps identify the origin of referred pain- sometimes pain in one area actually indicates injury or disease process in another.
Jaimie carefully watches your horse's response to the therapy and adjusts the settings accordingly. The horses reaction- whether it be a release response or movement away from the therapy- indicates what they have to say.
