What is PEMF Technology?

Pulse Electromagnetic Field (PEMF) technology can be used to provide overall health and wellbeing. PEMF devices work down to the cellular level to promote optimal health and wellness in a drug-free way without any side effects. Cells produce energy called Adenosine Triphosphate (ATP) to power the cell and this energy is vital for function of the body, building up and breaking down molecules, as well as transporting substances across cell membranes. PEMF is a safe, non-invasive method to promote whole body wellness.

How does PEMF work?

PEMF is said to positively charge blood cells so they repel each other (like magnetic charges repel), making it difficult for them to stick together. This maximizes the ability of the blood cells

How we can help

Using MagnaWave sends a pulsating charge through tissues to address focal areas like joints and major muscle groups. Penetration of the charge can be up to 18 inches into the animal's body. Muscle movements help to identify imbalances, pain or sore muscles that need to be further worked on with MagnaWave.

Kristi Coulthard is now dually certified in PEMF for small and large animals through the AOPP — the Association of PEMF Professions. This organization is the only association for PEMF professionals to connect, get educated, and find support not only growing their business, but uniting PEMF professionals worldwide to grow the profession and make PEMF a more commonly known, accessible modality. The AOPP is committed to setting the highest standards for PEMF practitioners, manufacturers, and distributors so that consumers are protected. By being dually certified in this modality, Triggerpoint has a deeper, more scientific education on how PEMF can help your animals. When there is inflammation present in the body, the chemical balance around the cell is disrupted. PEMF normalizes the chemical balance and sets up the environment for the body to heal itself.
