We have all heard people say that, but did you have any idea how true it is? I can't help but wonder what is going on with our world as far as stress is concerned. Our stress levels (especially in America) are at an all time high. I am continually asking patients what their stress level is and what they are doing to eliminate it. It is important to understand that we now know that stress is the underlying cause of over 80% of all disease. Why? When your body is under stress, the nervous system is working as it did when we were being chased by tigers as cavemen. This response was meant to last only a few minutes and now we are using it all day long in many cases! For some reason, our primitive brain has not caught up with the evolution of the times.

Many cutting edge medical clinics (including Advanced Health) now offer PEMF (Pulsed ElectroMagnetic Field) therapy sessions for many ailments. Headaches are one of the top reasons for people searching out PEMF. When a headache or migraine occurs, the internal processes are the source of pain. Blood vessels constricting or pulsating causes the throbbing pain. External stimuli such as bright light, loud noises, excessive motion only exacerbate the pains inside your head. In many circumstances, they can be fueled by smells and foods.

Generally, headaches and pains are caused by “an uneven distribution of blood flow in the brain. Vasodilation in one place and constriction in another.” You may be asking what is vasodilation? Hint: it’s in the name—vaso-dilation—is the dilation of blood vessels. While blood vessels regeneration plays a factor, the regeneration of nerves plays a bigger factor. Along the nerves are how the neurons communicate. Other factors include: “… the neurons of the nervous system through the neurochemical pathways, the interaction with motor cortical elements of your brain through the electrophysiological pathways, and by affecting the blood flow and circulatory system through your cardiovascular pathway.” 

To put it simply, PEMF waves resonate throughout the body. At the right frequency and amplitude, they create harmony. In the body, nerves and cells communicate to one another with a bioelectric current on a low frequency. Because electromagnetic waves operate on a frequency achievable with PEMF devices, we can communicate with our bodies with artificial electromagnetic radiation. Magnetic fields surround not only us, but flow through us and even surround the Earth. That may sound harmful, but figure that radiation is around us in other forms–microwaves, X-rays and MRI machines at doctors’ offices.

Just like PEMF can help with tinnitus, fibromyalgia, and cellular metabolism; headaches and migraines are also high on this list.To learn more or to schedule a FREE TRIAL session, click here or simply give us a call at 715-362-2300.
