Introducing the PEMF PRO

PEMF is simply amazing. You might say it works miracles. Clinical study patient of James Ricketti, DPM

How does the PEMF PRO work?

Tissue cells are tiny electrically charged machines. When traumatized, the cells' electrical charges are diminished. This causes normal cell functions to shut down. As the edema develops, chemical signals that cause inflammation are released, resulting in pain that further inhibits the cell communication necessary for healing to begin.

Pulsed electromagnetic field therapy, or PEMF, treats the cellular source of edema by recharging the cells with a mild electromagnetic current. This stops the release of pain and inflammatory mediators, reduces inflammatory fluids and allows an increase in blood flow to help the cells heal faster with less swelling, pain and bruising.

PEMF is not new to medicine. PEMF has been used in various medical devices for more than 60 years for bone repair & growth, treatment of osteoarthritis, nerve stimulation, wound healing and others. These devices are large and only allowed for stationary single use treatments in a doctor's office, surgery center or hospital. The breakthrough is miniaturization. Advancements in micro-electronic technology have enabled the healing power of PEMF to be delivered from a virtually weightless and inexpensive patch. Physicians in product evaluation studies have been using PEMF for several conditions, including heel spur, Achilles tendonitis and plantar fasciitis.

PedAlign has harnessed the power of PEMF for the foot. The PEMF PRO is a PedAlign Performance orthotic embedded with PEMF technology. The patch provides up to 30 days of continuous PEMF therapy and is activated by the podiatrist at the time of dispensing. The patch is easily replaced and patients can purchase replacement patches from the podiatrist at follow up visits. The PEMF PRO is only available through PedAlign.

"PEMF greatly reduced my pain and I noticed a difference almost immediately. I would definitely recommend PEMF therapy." Clinical study patient of James Ricketti, DPM Diagnosis: Heel Spur

Two Breakthrough Technologies One Superior Company

PedAlign will change how you think about orthotics therapy.

PedAlign first introduced Superior Orthotics by Digital Casting, an infrared optical scanning system designed to deliver the highest quality, uncompromised orthotics in the industry, while allowing the podiatrist to increase revenue and streamline their orthotics business. Today, PedAlign goes a step further by introducing a breakthrough medical technology embedded into an orthotic device. The PEMF PROM will truly change how you think about and prescribe orthotics. Our company has always focused on bringing your office cutting edge technology.
