Contraindications of PEMF

Implanted Electronic Devices

One of the main contraindication’s of PEMF therapy are for individuals who have a pacemaker, cochlear implant or an intrathecal pump fitted.

 

If you have an implanted electrical device such as a pacemaker, cochlear implant or an intrathecal pump we do not recommend you apply PEMF therapy because there is a risk there is a risk that the magnetic field produced by a PEMF device can shut the device off or otherwise interfere with its function.

Organ Transplants

PEMFs are contraindicated in organ transplant patients.

 

PEMF therapy is not advised after an organ transplant as over stimulation could increase the risk of rejection.

Cautions of PEMF

Pregnancy

Caution is advised during pregnancy. Whilst there is no evidence of harm caused by using PEMFs during pregnancy, their safety has not yet been established.

Neurological Conditions

Those with neurological conditions that can cause seizure (e.g epilepsy) are advised to be cautious when using PEMF therapy.

 

Reports of PEMF initiating a seizure are very rare however there is the theoretical potential for this to happen.

Active Bleeding 

One of the benefits of applying PEMF therapy is the increase in circulation and blood oxygenation but for people suffering from active bleeding i.e after an operation, this may worsen the blood loss and reduce the ability of the blood to clot in order for it heal over properly.

 

Any source of bleeding should be fully controlled before using PEMF therapy.
