Pulsed electromagnetic field therapy

I just went to a sport chiropractor today he seems very good he used a pulsed electromagnetic field therapy machine on me for about 8 min on my back and groin area, as I am not familiar with this machine I was wondering if any other people out there have received any benefit from using one, does it really do any good?. Thanks LA Rob

I had a PT use it on my knee once. I asked what it was and how it worked. It was obvious in his countenance while he talked that he thought it was bullshit and didn’t work.

Three clues that should set off your bullshit detector:

  1. A chiropractor uses it
  2. Dr. Oz sells them
  3. The FDA classifies them as “wellness devices”

This is all you really need to know. If that snake oil merchant is behind it, then it’s BS.

Appreciate all the responses I guess I got a good con job there, the way he explained it sounded plausible but as I say I had never heard of it before, but I wanted to know if anyone here had any experience regarding them so thank you for letting me know the modern day snake oil is still out there.
