Electromagnetic therapy has been in use by physicians with Tesla coils in the 1930's stemming from early more rudimentary electric charged needles used for treating slow healing fractures in the mid 1800's. More scholarly research for fractures and bone healing was conducted in the 1960's that led to eventual FDA approval for those indications. A 2003 study conducted by NASA concluded that time varying fields increased the growth rate of neural progenitor cells in culture mediums by 2.5- 4 times. PEMF use has now exploded for health and wellness by consumers particularly after the development of low PEMF mats. There is confusion by physicians as well as the lay public about what devices and strengths are needed for health benefits and healing. Ben Pearl, D.P.M. is exploring and developing a number of new protocols that he has implanted in his practice to treat patients with fractures, arthritis, acute trauma, gout, tendonitis, neuropathy, vascular problems such as Raynaud's, PAD venous insufficiency and neuropathy. He continues to be at the forefront of looking for more effective ways to help patients in the clinic and home setting.
