BENEFITS OF PEMF

If you're new to MagnaWave, you may be wondering what PEMF is and how it can support your animal.

Pulsed Electromagnetic Field (PEMF) therapy delivers gentle electromagnetic pulses to the body. These pulses interact with the body's tissues and are used to support overall wellness, recovery, comfort, and performance. Many owners incorporate PEMF into their animal's routine to help maintain mobility, encourage relaxation, and support recovery after training, competition, or everyday activity.

PEMF is a safe, non-invasive wellness modality that can be used alongside your veterinarian's treatment plan. While it is not intended to diagnose, treat, or cure medical conditions, many owners report improvements in their animal's comfort, recovery, and overall quality of life.

​​

Every animal is different, and results can vary depending on their age, condition, workload, and individual needs.

Hoof Abscesses

Hoof abscesses are a common cause of sudden, severe lameness in horses. They develop when bacteria become trapped inside the hoof, leading to an infection and a buildup of pus within the hoof capsule. The pressure from the abscess can cause significant pain until it drains.

Typical signs of an abscess include:

  • Sudden lameness (sometimes severe)

  • Heat in the hoof or leg

  • Pain when pressure is applied

  • Swelling above the hoof

  • Drainage of pus (often with odor) once the abscess ruptures

MagnaWave PEMF can provide supportive care during this process by improving circulation, increasing oxygen delivery, and helping reduce inflammation and discomfort in the affected area.

Gastric Ulcers in Horses

Helping Gastric Ulcers in Horses Naturally with MagnaWave

 

Gastric ulcers are commonly found in horses. A third of adult horses confined in stalls and over 60% of performance horses develop moderate to severe gastric ulcers.

PEMF uses pulses of electromagnetic waves deep into damaged and diseased tissue. The coils can be strategically placed and emit a measurable magnetic field up to 16 inches. This electromagnetic field helps cells to function normally and strengthens cell metabolism.

 

MagnaWave helps to reduce inflammation and promote healing. It can be used as an adjunct modality to help the horse feel better as other changes in management are made.

 

Addressing gastric ulcers in horses naturally with PEMF is safe, non-invasive and has no adverse side effects. It requires no sedation and is both calming and relaxing to the horse.

Soft Tissue Injuries

When your horse, dog, or other animal suffers a soft tissue injury such as a tendon strain, pulled muscle, or ligament trauma, recovery can take time. Inflammation, swelling, pain, and limited mobility often slow the process and make healing more difficult. This is where MagnaWave PEMF sessions can make a difference.

MagnaWave uses Pulsed Electromagnetic Field (PEMF) technology to deliver gentle energy deep into the tissue. This helps stimulate cells, improve oxygenation, increase circulation, and activate the lymphatic system to support the body’s natural healing response.

For soft tissue and musculoskeletal injuries, MagnaWave PEMF can:
• Reduce inflammation and swelling at the injury site
• Relieve pain and muscle soreness for more comfortable healing
• Accelerate tissue repair and recovery by supporting healthy cell function
• Improve flexibility and mobility in muscles, tendons, and ligaments
• Provide a noninvasive, drug free complement to traditional treatment

Whether your animal is recovering from post training soreness, a pulled tendon, or a ligament strain, PEMF sessions offer a safe and effective way to support healing, shorten downtime, and help them return to movement with more comfort and strength. Always consult your veterinarian to ensure this therapy aligns with your animal’s care plan.

Navicular Disease

2S1A6284.jpg

Navicular disease is a common cause of chronic forelimb lameness in horses. The condition involves degeneration or inflammation within the navicular bone and its surrounding structures, often resulting in persistent pain, shortened stride, and reduced performance. While navicular disease cannot be reversed, comprehensive management can improve long-term comfort and mobility.

Pulsed Electromagnetic Field (PEMF) offers a safe, non-invasive modality to support horses affected by navicular disease. PEMF has been shown to:

  • Enhance circulation within the hoof capsule and surrounding tissues

  • Reduce localized inflammation and soreness

  • Support tissue repair and cellular function

  • Promote relaxation and improved stride quality

MagnaWave PEMF is designed to complement traditional veterinary care, including corrective shoeing, medical treatment, and rehabilitation programs. By incorporating regular sessions, many horses experience increased comfort and sustained quality of life.

Lyme Disease in Pets

Help your Pet Feel Better if they have Lyme Disease with MagnaWave!

 

Using flea and tick medication is a great way to prevent your pets from picking up these little creatures, but sometimes you might still find a tick on your pet. If your pet catches Lyme disease, MagnaWave uses PEMF technology and is a great way to help reduce pain! Having a session on the kidneys or in joints where they are showing symptoms is recommended.

 

Symptoms of Lyme disease may include:

 

  • Fever

  • Loss of appetite

  • Lameness

  • Joint swelling

  • Decreased activity

To help prevent your pet from getting Lyme disease we recommend talking to your veterinarian about vaccinating your pet. You should also use tick prevention products, avoid areas where ticks might be, check yourself and your pet for ticks once you get back indoors, and keep your lawn well maintained.

Pre/Post Competition

Improve Your Horse’s Performance with A Pre and/or Post Event MagnaWave Session!

 

MagnaWave is often seen in barns and at horse shows addressing stiff, sore, hard-working horses. Many trainers have found that PEMF on horses helps boost their performance. Owners and trainers can generally see and feel an improvement in the way the horse moves after a session.

 

MagnaWave uses PEMF technology to help maintain the balance in cellular metabolism and keep the horse active and healthy. PEMF helps relieve the horse’s pain from sore muscles and joints and restores healthy cellular function for a faster recovery.

 

PEMF for horses has deep penetration which makes it effective in addressing deep muscle soreness. The device emits a measurable magnetic field up to 16 inches from the surface of the coil. This makes MagnaWave for horses ideal because it does not have to be placed directly over the injury.

Pet Incontinence

2S1A6427.jpg

Your Pet is not Peeing in your Home because they are Mad…

 

Pets cannot tell us what is wrong with them, so we have to help them as much as we can! Several factors contribute to urinary incontinence, which can be caused from:

 

  • Aging

  • Hormonal imbalances

  • Urinary Tract Infection

  • Urinary stones

  • Protruding intervertebral disc

  • Weak bladder

  • Prostate disorders

Many pets suffer from urinary incontinence and sometimes it feels like there is nothing you can do to solve the problem.

 

By having sessions with MagnaWave for your pet, you can help prevent the symptoms from getting worse. This could be an alternative to invasive methods and treating your pets with medication.

 

Always talk to your vet first about addressing conditions your pet may suffer from!

 

MagnaWave uses PEMF technology to improve your pet’s cellular function and health beyond just urinary incontinence. PEMF can help by:

 

  • Reducing Inflammation

  • Pain Relief

  • Faster Recovery from Injury

  • Improved Performance and Mobility

  • Strengthened Immune System

Alleviating Arthritis

2S1A6061.jpg

Arthritis causes inflammation in the joints, leading to stiffness, discomfort, and reduced mobility. PEMF works directly at the cellular level to ease these effects by:

  • Reducing inflammation that causes pain and stiffness

  • Improving circulation to bring oxygen and nutrients into the joints

  • Supporting cellular repair by making cell membranes more permeable, helping flush out toxins and absorb nutrients

  • Relieving discomfort naturally, allowing freer, more comfortable movement

​​

For horses, pets, and livestock, this means more fluid strides, improved flexibility, and better overall comfort. Show animals may move more soundly in the ring, working horses can maintain range of motion, and senior pets can enjoy daily activities with less stiffness.

PEMF offers a non-invasive, drug-free way to manage the discomfort of arthritis and help animals feel and perform their best.

Equine Protozoal Myeloencephalitis (EPM)

2S1A8248.jpg

EPM is a debilitating neurological disease most often caused by the protozoan Sarcocystis neurona, typically contracted when horses ingest contaminated feed or water. Once inside the body, the protozoa attack the central nervous system, leading to symptoms such as muscle atrophy, lameness, incoordination, and even behavioral changes. These effects can severely impact a horse’s comfort, daily activity, and performance.

MagnaWave PEMF offers a safe, non-invasive way to support horses affected by EPM. By penetrating to the cellular level, PEMF can:

  • Reduce inflammation associated with the protozoa’s attack on the nervous system

  • Manage discomfort and pain, improving quality of life during recovery

  • Enhance cellular function, helping the body better absorb and utilize prescribed medications

Because some horses may never fully recover from the neurological damage caused by EPM, ongoing MagnaWave sessions can be valuable for long-term management — supporting comfort, mobility, and overall wellbeing throughout the horse’s life.

Anxiety Management

2S1A6247.jpg

Anxiety is one of the most common challenges pet owners face, whether it’s caused by loud noises, separation, aging, or changes in routine. Pets may show their stress through restlessness, pacing, barking, whining, or difficulty settling.

MagnaWave PEMF offers a safe, non-invasive way to ease that tension and restore comfort. By improving circulation, balancing cellular function, and supporting relaxation at the deepest level, PEMF can help pets release stress and settle more easily. Many owners notice their animals become calmer during and after sessions, with benefits that include better sleep, reduced anxious behaviors, and a more balanced, content demeanor.

With consistent use, MagnaWave can be a valuable addition to your pet’s wellness routine helping them feel safe, comfortable, and at ease.
