Your body and brain run on intricate, easily disrupted electrical and magnetic signals (and which can be restored by PEMF machines).

Modern technology generates electromagnetic symptoms millions of times more powerful than what we’d naturally encounter. As a result, our biology entrains to these wrong signals. Resulting in suboptimal performance, symptoms of bad health, and eventual disease.

What if we could hit “reboot” and allow our cells to recalibrate?

A modality called PEMF Therapy accomplishes exactly this (and more). Causing an incredibly wide variety of health benefits:

  • Faster recovery from wounds
  • Less pain
  • Greater range of motion
  • Less muscle loss post-surgery
  • Faster nerve regeneration
  • Better circulation and blood flow
  • Lower inflammation
  • Accelerated workout and sports recovery

PEMF brings us back into a state of vitality.

But not all PEMF devices work as expected…

While conducting my research, I ran into all kinds of red flags. Websites that:

  • Look like they haven’t been touched since the 90’s
  • Don’t have SSL certificates, so Chrome warns that they’re “dangerous”
  • Strange redirects to other unrelated websites
  • Multiple listings with extremely similar (but different) domain names showing up in Google

I’ve tested many different types of PEMF Therapy devices, mats, and machines. I’ve talked to the experts, and read other reviews.

This post will give you all the needed background on PEMF Therapy. How it works, the science and health benefits, the safety, and the best PEMF machines for your unique lifestyle. Whether you’re a professional clinician or you just want your own medical-grade at-home device.

The Best PEMF Therapy Mats for Home Use

PEMF Therapy mats are extremely convenient, easy to use, and often have other powerful modalities built into them.

Most of the mats I’ve seen seem to have added PEMF as an afterthought. They don’t disclose many of the important details.

This is just one of my top picks. In another article, I compare & review all the best PEMF mats.

The Best Professional PEMF Therapy Machines for Home Use

I’ve classified PEMF machines as devices solely dedicated to PEMF Therapy. These are the most powerful systems available, and the ones most often used in clinical research.

They typically yield the best PEMF results and also tend to be more portable than PEMF mats.

Micro-Pulse ICES DigiCeutical C5

BEST QUALITY

Micro-Pulse has become an iconic brand among PEMF scientists. The founder, Dr. Robert Dennis, developed the original systems used by NASA in 1997.

Since then, he’s significantly upgraded the patented technology, leading to the newer ICES DigiCeuticals line.

Other notable customers include SomaPulse, Alleva-Wave, Pulse-Pet, research universities, private companies, athletes, medical doctors, chiropractors, veterinarians, and countless pet owners. Why?

Bob hand builds, programs, calibrates, and tests every single unit.

Micro-Pulse also publishes more scientific PEMF documentation and guidance than any other company. Bob sells PEMF devices of all sizes and for every use (sadly, no mats).

Their most popular full-sized machines are the C5 model (for beginners) and the B5 model (for researchers), with the primary difference being the customizability.

Other than that, the two models are the same. In fact, scientists are using this exact B5 model to study:

  • Traumatic brain injury/concussion
  • Type 1 diabetes (mice)
  • Inflammatory signaling
  • Heart disease and cardioprotection
  • Orthopedic injury
  • Chronic Pain
  • Diseases of the kidney and liver

That’s right, both the C5 and B5 contain the exact same components used in clinical PEMF research. Both four coils, and three potential ways to configure them.

Both have many waveform possibilities, 16 different intensity levels, and a nice frequency range of 1.5-47 Hz. All inside a small and easily transported device.

While PEMF devices generally help with faster concussion recovery, these features can be a big deciding factor for many.

If you’re looking for the same hyper-customizable PEMF machine used in real clinical research and the best overall value, the ICES B5 and C5 DigiCeutical PEMF machines are unparalleled.

BEMER Pro

BEMER Pro PEMF Machine Review

BEMER Pro Overview

Size: 37″ x 18″ x 22″

Waveform: Sine

Frequency Range: 10 Hz, 33 Hz

Number of Coils: 6

Program Duration: 8-20 min

Max Intensity: 0.35 Gauss

Number of Programs: 3

Additional Modalities: None

Warranty: 3 year warranty

Price: $4,990-$5,630

Years ago, BEMER established itself as a premier PEMF system. Through networking marketing, they began popping up in wellness clinics around the world.

BEMER claims that their PEMF machines deliver a patented “bio-rhythmically defined therapeutic signal”. Basically, their technology piggybacks off 20 years of electromagnetic research conducted by Dr. Rainer Christian Klopp.

The biggest plus is that the BEMER Pro is well-built and easy to use; German-engineered, and Swiss crafted. It’s also one of few FDA Class II cleared consumer medical devices.

A few clinical studies have used BEMER products and found:

Interestingly, a large portion of their customers use the system on horses.

Unfortunately, you can only purchase BEMER PEMF machines through distributors. They’re far less customizable than other machines, only have 2 frequencies and limited intensity options. Worst of all, pricing for the base models starts at $4,990.

BEMER backs their professional PEMF systems with a 3-year warranty, and a subpar 30-day money-back guarantee (you pay shipping and a 10% restocking fee).

BEMER is the PEMF machine for professionals that want an ultra easy to use system and don’t mind paying a large premium for the brand name.

Curatron 2000HT PEMF Machine Review

Curatron Overview

Size: 24″ x 63″

Waveform: Sine

Frequency Range: 1-50 Hz

Number of Coils: Unknown

Program Duration: 20-30 min

Max Intensity: 200 Gauss

Number of Programs: 10

Additional Modalities: None

Warranty: 3 year warranty on control unit, 1 year on accessories

Price: $3,985

Research the top PEMF systems, and you’ll surely encounter Curatron. This is another one of the originals that has stood the test of time. It’s also a top recommendation of the prestigious PEMF evangelist, Dr. Pawluk.

Curatron sells several models, including the C-2000-XP, C-2000-PC, and the C2000HT Home System. Their HT model matches the power level of their professional models at a fraction of the cost.

This model features 10 different modes and two energy levels:

  • Five high-energy programs for pain, oxygenation, and bone/injury healing.
  • Five low-energy programs for circulation, relaxation, energy, wellness, and recovery

It has a good, broad frequency range of 1 – 50 Hz and outputs plenty of power (70-200 Gauss). Treatments last 15-30 minutes. This HT model also comes with a separate PEMF therapy pad for additional simultaneous targeted treatments.

Navigating the site proved rather difficult. With all kinds of redirects, several websites masquerading as the “original PEMF machine” yet selling different products. The dated product look, barely operable website, and price made this a lower-tier recommendation.

I’d recommend Curatron only if you want a mattress/therapy pad combo and don’t mind paying extra for old technology.

The Best PEMF Therapy Wearables

PEMF wearable devices are the most convenient and portable, and great for spot targeting.

You won’t get the same systemic benefits from these, but the low price and small size make them a great option to recovery from injuries or pain.

Micro-Pulse ICES DigiCeuticals M1

BEST WEARABLE
micropulse ices digiceuticals m1

Waveform: All

Frequency Range: 1.5-47 Hz

Number of Coils: 2

Program Duration: Customizable

Max Intensity: Unspecified

Number of Programs: 30 preset

Additional Modalities: None

Warranty: 1 year

Price: $629 (code URBAN for 10% off)

Good for beginners

Both ultra-portable and affordable

Can run protocols of more powerful ICES systems

Excels in spot treatment

Best vale for features

30-day guarantee comes with $200 restocking fee

Takes long to build, like other Micro-Pulse products

Warranty only covers generator

Micro-Pulse, the most trusted company in PEMF (and that makes the B5 and C5 systems mentioned previously), also has a smaller PEMF wearable designed specifically for targeting specific body parts.

The original A9 Micro-Pulse model has one protocol. Optimized only for severe chronic pain and orthopedic injury.

This new M1 is 25% smaller, more intensity levels, 30 Programs, a wide frequency range, and the latest ICES generation 6.0 technology.

Best uses of the M1 still include spot treating chronic pain and accelerating recovery from athletic/orthopedic injury.

However, the additional modes open the door to plenty of other uses. In fact, the M1 can run most of the same protocols as the full desktop systems.

As with any mini PEMF wearables, the small size resulted in a tradeoff between coil outputs. You can also power the M1 via the built-in rechargeable battery, or via mini USB cable.

Those looking for ultra-portable, lightweight yet versatile, multi-purpose PEMF wearables look no further than the M1. If I break a bone, suffer a traumatic injury, or develop chronic pain, I’d immediately buy the M1.

The Flex Pulse G2 is a German wearable PEMF device. The result of 35 years of R&D into:

  • Holistic health devices
  • Muscle stimulation
  • Ultrasound
  • Acupuncture
  • Biofeedback
  • Magnetic therapy systems

Since its release, the G2 has become popular with athletes and neurohackers alike.

The PEMF coils are encased in pads, designed for application to any part of the body.

Even the brain, where it’s used as a magnetic brain stimulator promotes mental sharpness and overall wellness.

Though it comes with only 8 programs out of the box, you can customize them to your liking. However, for only slightly more, I’d rather have both a mat and the cheaper M1 wearable.

The FlexPulse G2 is a good option for serious athletes looking for a well-built and flexible PEMF wearable and don’t mind the higher sticker price.

Infopathy IC Hummer

BEST BUDGET
Infopathy IC Hummer PEMF

Waveform: Any

Frequency Range: 0.01-20 Hz

Number of Coils: 1

Program Duration: Customizable

Max Intensity: 3 Gauss

Number of Programs: 429+

Additional Modalities: None

Warranty: Unspecified

Price: $168 (code URBAN10 for 10% off)

Most affordable

Best for beginners

Hundreds of PEMF programs

Functional out of the box

Uses a magnet that may affect medical devices

Some modes gated behind premium

I’ve previously reviewed Infopathy “Infoceutical” devices, and the IC Hummer is the only one with built-in PEMF capabilities.

This is another multi-purpose device, allowing you to “imprint” water with the electromagnetic signatures of any one of thousands of ingredients in their library.

This gives you the same effects as the original molecule, albeit weaker.

We did a blind experiment and I managed to differentiate “Xanax water” from the normal 7 out of 10 times.

I regularly upgrade my water with a special energy formula I formulated. I also have a brain boosting nootropic cocktail that I’ll use to get more done in less time.

On the PEMF front, the IC Hummer contains an electromagnetic coil capable of producing frequencies up to 20 kHz. You can change the intensity with the volume setting.

What I love about it, is the ease of use. You strap it on, choose a PEMF program from their library based on your needs, then hit play.

Please Note: The IC Hummer includes a magnet that can cause medical devices like internal pacemakers and internal defibrillators to malfunction

Simple, nothing to configure, and lots of glowing testimonials from Infopathy users. Their Deep Sleep program significantly increases my deep sleep scores as measured by my Oura ring.

Though it’s fully functional out of the box, some of the “recipes” in their library require a premium membership. I had mine for a year before I decided to upgrade to premium.

The Infopathy IC Hummer is the best multipurpose wearable for beginners who want to try PEMF inexpensively.

PEMF Therapy Products I Do Not Recommend

I got questions about the best PEMF systems, talked to an expert, and conducted some of my own research.

I came across certain brands that looked promising, but I cannot recommend for one (or more) of several reasons:

  • Outrageously expensive
  • Different use case or technology
  • Limited or deceptive information

Now, these systems aren’t necessarily bad. They just don’t fit the criteria of the best PEMF systems.

Let’s get started.

PEMF-120 Desktop System

PEMF-120 is a full-fledged desktop unit that comes highly recommended by practitioners, including Dr. Pawluk. This model is often used in clinical settings. I like that they offer three coil configurations. The major downside is the $19,000 price tag, putting it well out of reach to all but clinic owners. For the same price, you can get several high-quality PEMF machines and have change left over.

TeslaFit Pro PEMF Machine

Up next, the TeslaFit Pro is another physician and practitioner-approved model. The company has crafted a powerful device and also provides complimentary professional training as well as a free consultation. The TeslaFit Pro one-ups the PEMF-120, coming in at a whopping $19,900-$20,650.

Haelo Symphony One

I scoured the entire website sleuthing out technical specs and important information about the Haelo Symphony One. But I couldn’t find the important details. For such an expensive device and without FDA-Approval, I can’t justify this one over the other recommendations.

Spooky2 RIFE

The GeneratorX (GX) is the world’s most powerful Rife generator. But that’s the issue. Spooky2 is a Rife machine rather than dedicated to PEMF. Rife protocols usually use extremely frequencies (Rife machines go up to 1,000,000 Hertz where most PEMF systems stay below 50 Hz). Rife machines are mainly used for “blasting” pathogens. A Spooky2 kit costs a reasonable $924, but you’ll need to buy the PEMF add-on.

BioBalance PEMF

BioBalance appears to have been discontinued as I can no longer find a way to purchase in 2023.

MagnaPulse

This one was frought with issues. The website is missing a SSL certificate. Personal data transmitted (such as credit card info) would not be secure. Second, their website product page now redirects to an unrelated website. Seems to have shutdown.

Pulse X PEMF Machine

Pulse X (often called “Pulse Centers”) makes awesome PEMF machines. I’ve personally used and enjoyed them. Although for $13,000, you have better options.

What is PEMF Therapy

Below the chemical level, the human body runs on electromagnetic signals. Pulsed Electromagnetic Field (PEMF) Therapy provides an essential battery-like recharge to “worn down and tired” cells. Cells dysregulated by stress, toxins exposure, poor diet, physical injury, overstimulation, and even normal aging. PEMF Therapy rejuvenates cells and restores proper electromagnetic signaling throughout the body.

We have two main ways to get the benefits of PEMF therapy:

  1. Technology
  2. Nature

We’re bombarded by electromagnetic frequencies throughout the day. Both natural and manmade. Unfortunately, most manmade electromagnetic frequencies (non native-EMFs) harm the body. Using the wrong frequencies, outputting steady signals rather than pulses, and in massive doses. Later, we’ll discuss the particular machine parameters that differentiate healthy PEMF exposure versus destructive nn-EMFs.

Instead, the right modern technologies can replicate (and even beat) those found in nature.

Humans today lack natural PEMF due to the advent of wireless technology and our indoor lifestyles.

The simple solution is to get outside and expose our bare skin to the bare Earth. Which entrains ourselves to the naturally present Schumann frequency. Earthing, as it’s called, has astounding restorative and healing effects.

Two issues with natural PEMF:

  1. Frequency. Certain healing frequencies are hard to find in nature, if not impossible
  2. Time. The natural route takes far longer to exert all the beneficial effects

I focus on getting ample natural PEMF exposure, but I’m also a big proponent of using specially crafted technology to get myriad health benefits.

Scientific Benefits & Uses of PEMF Therapy

Millennia ago, early humans discovered that magnets influence human health. About a centuary ago, scientists began actively studying how electromagnetism impacts humans (for good or bad).

PEMF science really picked up when NASA started using the technology in the 1960s to improve the health of astronauts. They found that virtually all bodily tissues improved from PEMF Therapy.

Scores of papers and research have accumulated since then, adding to the body of scientific evidence.

Some of the benefits of pulsed electromagnetic field therapy include:
  • Reduced pain
  • Reduced inflammation
  • Better sleep
  • Increased circulation
  • Boosts mood and helps alleviate depression
  • Restored cellular electrical charge
  • Greater muscular range of motion
  • Faster wound healing
  • Quicker recovery and rehab from surgery
  • Faster nerve regeneration
  • Mitigates bone loss
  • Stronger ligaments
  • Accelerated workout recovery
  • Reduced stress
  • Increased nutrient absorption
  • Better cellular waste removal
  • Preservation of muscle when inactive
  • Rebalanced gut microbiome

All of these from a simple non-drug intervention.

It can even support brain health when stacked with the right biohacks like neuro light therapy. Learn more about this in my roXiva review.

PEMF therapy is now being used in animals and pets such as dogs and horses.

Several PEMF benefits stand out and deserve special attention.

Pain Reduction

Clinical evidence has found pulsed electromagnetic field therapy extremely effective for use as non-drug form of pain relief. For things like:

  • Back pain
  • Knee replacement and surgery
  • Sciatica
  • Neuropathy

And other forms of pain. All without any serious side effects.

The FDA even approved PEMF as a treatment for bone damage and joint pain.

Here’s what legendary self-development master Tony Robins has to say about PEMF Therapy,

“I found the PEMF machine to be one of the most valuable resources for healing. I tore my rotator cuff’s in my right shoulder and I was on a 9.9 level of pain-nothing was working!”

For more information about PEMF and pain reduction, see this Dr. Oz TV snippet.

Not only does it help alleviate pain, but simultaneously stimulates repair.

Injuries Heal

PEMF regenerates on the deepest cellular level. It “convinces” the body to entrain to healing frequencies which results in a cascade of positive biochemical changes.

PEMF acts as a safe, non-drug anti-inflammatory, accelerating healing:

  • Injuries
  • Ligaments
  • Surgery rehab
  • Arthritis

The FDA also approved PEMF to treat bone damage (broken bones), and strengthen them in cases of osteoporosis.

If you have an upcoming surgery, play sports, or are at all active, I recommend having a PEMF machine on hand.

A friend fractured his foot playing soccer. He took all the necessary precautions, and religiously used one of the PEMF devices described below. One week later, he was back on the field. Follow-up scans showed complete healing.

Indeed, numerous studies show PEMF can speed the healing of bones by 50 percent.

I consider PEMF Therapy a Wolverine-like hack to quickly bounce back from injuries.

Athletic Recovery & Performance Boost

PEMF directly improves recovery from exercise, and indirectly improves performance.

It does this via several ways:

  • Boosting circulation which more effectively delivers nutrients and stimulates growth
  • Accelerating metabolic waste removal upregulates metabolism and decreases stress levels
  • Increased range of motion by reducing inflammation and painful blocks

Electromagnetic stimulation also reduces cravings, indirectly leading to weight loss and better overall health. One study found a 3% bodyweight reduction in 9 weeks. For a 200-pound human, that’s 6 pounds from zero additional effort.

Along with infrared sauna usage, PEMF Therapy shows promise in maintaining fitness during periods of inactivity. NASA used PEMF to mitigate muscle atrophy in astronauts.

I personally feel significantly more recovered (less DOMS) after using PEMF. You’ll notice that many elite sports teams rely on this technology to maintain their output.

How to Evaluate PEMF Machines

Dedicated PEMF therapy machines share similar characteristics and technologies, making them easy to compare.

That is…

If you know the terminologies. Here is what they mean.

Note that wearables, mats, and portable devices work differently and have different criteria.

Frequency Range. Frequency of a system indicates the number of pulses delivered to the body per second. The range is how much or little it’s capable of generating. Usually measured in Hertz (Hz) or pulses per second (pps). Some claim that frequences above about 15 Hertz biologically stress the body. Few PEMF machine go above 50 Hz.

Waveform. A machine’s waveform indicates the shape of each pulse. Common waveform shapes include square, sine, trapezoidal, and saw tooth. But there are virtually infinite different configurations PEMF machines can output.

Intensity. A machine’s intensity indicates the power output delivered. Need generally dictates the course of treatment regarding intensity. Shorter, acute treatments use higher intensities, while chronically ongoing conditions use low intensities.

Number of Coils. The number of coils indicates how many places a system emits PEMF signals. Usually, more coils lead to stronger and more systemic effects but at the cost of higher price.

Program Duration. A machine’s program duration indicates how long treatments last. Some take just a few minutes, while others last hours (sometimes up to 12).

Number of Programs. This refers to how many presets the system comes with. High-end, clinical systems generally have many or even unlimited (customizable) programs. Units for beginners may just have one or two. The more programs your PEMF device contains, the more potential use cases.

Additional Modalities. The additional modalities indicate other functions, and complementary therapies that the system can produce. Most commonly found in PEMF mats, additional modalities may include things like negative ions, hot stones/crystals, and far infrared light. I like them because they synergize to make the entire PEMF experience more powerful.

PEMF Mats vs Wearables vs Machines

PEMF Therapy Devices: Machines vs Mats vs Wearables

There are distinct pros and cons to each type of PEMF generator.

While you’ll encounter exceptions to these rules, this should help you decide which style best suits your needs.

PEMF mats vary tremendously in quality, but people choose mats for their simplicity, multiple health modalities that can be used simultaneously, and ease of integration into lifestyle (ie use while watching TV). Drawbacks to PEMF mats include weaker power output, inability to use while sleeping, bulkiness not conducive to travel, less natural waveforms, and problematic electromagnetic field intersections.

PEMF wearables are usually considerably more powerful than mats, highly portable, cheaper, and great for treating specific body parts or localized conditions. The downsides of wearables include less systemic effect, pulses are shortened to save battery, less customizability, and more fragile.

PEMF machines are the most effective and powerful (same ones used in clinical research), high customizable, semi-portable, and some work while you sleep. Cost is the main downside, but they’re generally harder to use, and require dedicated sessions with the coils attached to your body.

Finding Your Perfect PEMF System

Humans run on electricity.

Intensity, waveform, duration, pulsation, and other characteristics determine whether electromagnetism boosts or detracts from how well our body and mind function.

PEMF is one impressive modality that can rebalance our electromagnetic signature, and with that, improve our health and vitality.

But there are a lot of junk systems.

Even worse, I’ve come across many that get the science totally wrong and probably do more harm than good.

I’ve used some of these devices for many years. Yet I’m always learning more as PEMF research constantly evolves.

Can we consider PEMF a top science-backed heath panacea today? The top biohacking experts certainly recommend it.

There’s no single best device for all people and all situations:

  • For spot targeting a specific wound or pain, wearable devices work great
  • For general wellbeing, you can’t beat dedicated PEMF machines
  • For convenience and multiple modalities combined into one session, I’d go with a PEMF mat

I’m now looking to get a new system, and am deciding between the Micro-Pulse ICES line, or the HealthyLine Platinum Mat.

Enough about me…

Do you have a PEMF unit? I’m sure that I missed more than a few. Let me know your favorite in the comments below!

  6. Hi Nick, great article. Informative. So I’m new to all things PEMF. Looking to purchase a home unit but curious of your thoughts if you have a second?? Apologize in advance, as I know female specific health isn’t the main point of the article, so this may be out of your expertise, but figured your article was the best I’ve read yet.

    There’s few and far btwn info out there regarding PEMF effects on female infertility. Specifically, it may help with the health of the uterus, lining, and inflammation. After a few miscarriages I attempted to fix things from the inside out. Came across an article by Mehri on ozone therapy use from 2019 including case studies on women and fertility, through the HOCATT device, which also utilizes PEMF. Although for the life of me, I can’t find anything detailing specs about the PEMF used in the HOCATT device.

    I’ve personally done several ozone therapies and frankly did not have any positive experiences from it. Which leads me to PEMF technology. I’m planning on researching the Micro-Pulse M1 and possibly buying (I’ll link from your site if I do). I was curious on your thoughts regarding building tissue (increase uterine lining), blood flow, Increase circulation, and if the micro pulse brand would have positive effects if placed directly over the uterus. I’m clueless about strength or hz that would be beneficial. But any input would be super helpful!

    • Hey Shane,

      Thanks!

      I’m familiar with the HOCATT, but can’t comment on it for that very reason… unfortunately. That is out of my expertise. Since this sounds like a personal topic, you can email me (hello@outliyr.com) and I’ll help you out. I also recommend this awesome PEMF forum. They, especially Dr. Bob Dennis, are super knowledgeable and might be able to answer your questions about PEMF & female fertility specifically.

      Hope that helps!
