Overwhelmed? Need a quiet place to turn off? Looking for Alternative relief on your time? SELF - SCHEDULE!

NORTH SHORE OSTEOPATHIC now offers Pulsed Electromagnetic Therapy (PEMF) Mat on site, which helps to reset pain receptors and facilitate healing and regeneration of structures, as well as facilitates energizing and relaxation. It is also regularly used for different types of pain such as arthritis, neuropathic pain or headaches. Most importantly, The PEMF mat is may be used daily (not more than 60 minutes), allowing you to incorporate them into your daily routine. One may start the day with a session, use it for relaxation before bed, or as part of recovery post-workout.

Transcranial magnetic stimulation (tPEMF) is also available as part of the mat, and uses magnetic fields to stimulate brain cells so as to improve mood, reduce insomnia, increase energy and awakefulness. It has been FDA-approved for stroke recovery, chronic pain, severe migraines, PTSD, obsessive-compulsive disorder, anxiety and depression.

Absolute contraindications: MRI-incompatible devices, pacemakers and spinal cord stimulators.

Each therapeutic option of the mat is designed to promote specific aspects of physical and mental health:

  • Hot Gemstones: Natural amethyst, tourmaline, obsidian, quartz and jade gemstones emit Far Infrared Rays and negative ions, applies heated pressure along the body’s pressure points to temporarily relieve stiffness and muscle tension.

  • Far Infrared Rays (FIR): Deeply penetrate your body reaching muscles, joints and soft tissues, to temporarily relieve pain and muscle spasms. Allergy symptoms may also improve by improving circulation and reducing inflammation. Setting the FIR heat to a temperature of 122 to 140 degrees F will increase your heart rate, boost metabolism, increase your energy consumption and elevate blood circulation on a cellular level – especially if one covers themselves with a mylar blanket.

  • PEMF (Pulsed Electromagnetic Field) Therapy: Uses low-frequency electromagnetic waves that mimic the Earth’s natural magnetic field at a default frequency of 7.83 Hz in varying pulsed sinusoidal and square waveforms – the most consistent with the biorhythms of the human body. They essentially help balance your body’s energy and promote overall wellness.

  • Photon Light Therapy: The Photon lights use visible red light at a wavelength of 660nm with an intensity of 2.5mW/cm2, which reaches just below the skin, helping you feel more energized, promoting radiant glow. For maximum benefits, photon lights should come into contact with the skin directly.

  • Negative Ions: These are naturally emitted from gemstones. The higher the temperature, the great the level of negative ions you will receive. These are chosen to refresh your environment, improve mood and sleep quality.

  • Magnetic Therapy: Utilizes static magnets to create a magnetic field that may help enhance relaxation, improve general energy flow, and promote overall wellness by balancing the body’s natural energy fields.

CONSIDER SPENDING SOME TIME IN OUR LOW STIMULATION ROOM!

Even if you are NOT interested in the PEMF option, you may still use the photon, FIR or heat options on the mat - AND - if those options don’t appeal to you but you still need a quiet space to collect and recover, the low stimulation room is still available for your use.

NOTE: Flexible Spending Account / Health Saving Account pre-tax dollars may be spent to purchase this type of mat, and may actually be used to pay for treatments. Please inquire with your insurance carrier.

Mat PEMF 1 hour x 12+ days improved pain and function as well as mood, stress and anxiety during acute or sub-acute low back pain flares or panic-attacks.

Review of research between 2015-2024 for patients with fibromyalgia, patellofemoral (knee) pain, plantar fasciitis, hand and knee osteoarthritis, shoulder impingement syndrome, neck and back pain where surgery is not indicated (chronic nonspecific myofascial and mechanical LBP, chronic postoperative pain following lumbar surgery, cervical disc herniation, and lumbar spinal stenosis) confirmed improved pain scores and function nearly 3 weeks earlier than without using PEMF.

Neurology/Physiatry/Pain Management: research demonstrating over 80% of participants note improvements in peripheral neuropathic pain and other symptoms due to improvements in circulation and nerve regeneration.

Spinal Cord Injury Physiatry: believed to improve localized inflammation, oxidative stress and shock-proteins contributing to the functional recovery following spinal cord injury.
