What it is
What emFieldPro therapy is
The emFieldPro uses pulsed electromagnetic fields (High Energy Inductive Therapy, or HEIT) applied over the area being treated. The applicator is positioned near the body; it doesn't require direct skin contact, and you don't need to remove light clothing.
It's non-invasive and is done in the office. A typical session runs about 10 to 20 minutes.
After examining you, the doctor decides whether this therapy is appropriate for your situation and how to combine it with the rest of your plan.
What it may be used for
Situations where it's used

- Areas of muscle tension
- As a complement to chiropractic care and muscle work
- Situations where a no-direct-contact therapy is preferred
After examining you, your provider decides whether this technology is appropriate as part of your plan. It isn't right for every person or every condition.
