BEMER therapy and its effects
BEMER and magnetic field therapy (PEMF) are related, yet different. When the BEMER device is mentioned, you often hear that it applies “pulsed magnetic field therapy” – and that is essentially true. Still, anyone who digs a little deeper will quickly realize: BEMER is a special variation of the widely used pulsed magnetic field technology. Let’s see how they are similar and what makes BEMER different.
The common basis: pulsed electromagnetic field
Both traditional PEMF devices and the BEMER use a pulsed electromagnetic field to stimulate the body.
The basic principle is the same: electromagnetic pulses pass through tissues, influence cellular function, and promote natural regenerative processes. Both technologies are non-invasive, painless, and are available in versions suitable for home use.
The difference: waveform and target
Most PEMF devices use sinusoidal or square pulses and primarily focus on stimulating bones, muscles, and joints. For that reason they are used for musculoskeletal pain relief, accelerating the healing of bone fractures and joint inflammations, treating delayed unions, and promoting implant incorporation.
By contrast, the BEMER has developed a patented, complex waveform specifically optimized to improve microcirculation — that is, the blood flow in the smallest vessels.
This special signal specifically acts on arterioles and venules, enhancing capillary blood flow. Thus, BEMER is not a general PEMF device but a specialist for a narrower, more thoroughly researched application area.
Intensity and frequency
Traditional PEMF devices operate across a wide range of intensities and frequencies — some even generate very strong fields. BEMER intentionally works with low intensity, because their research indicates that affecting microcirculation depends not on strength but on the appropriate waveform.
Which should you choose?
If your goal is specifically to improve microcirculation, boost general vitality, or optimize cellular oxygen supply, BEMER is a solution developed specifically for that purpose.
If, on the other hand, your aim is local pain relief or treating bone, joint, or muscle problems, traditional PEMF devices can be an excellent choice.
