PEMF therapy involves the use of pulsating electromagnetic fields to promote healing and alleviate pain. When exposed to PEMF therapy, some people may experience a tingling sensation, particularly in the area where the treatment is being applied.
The tingling sensation is likely due to the electromagnetic fields stimulating the nerves and blood vessels in the area. PEMF therapy can increase blood flow and oxygenation to the tissues, which can cause a warming or tingling sensation. Additionally, the electromagnetic fields can activate the nerves in the area, which can cause a tingling or buzzing sensation.
While the tingling sensation may be unusual or uncomfortable at first, it is generally not harmful and often dissipates over time as the body adjusts to the treatment. However, if the sensation is accompanied by pain or discomfort, it is important to consult with a healthcare professional to determine the cause and ensure that the treatment is safe and appropriate.
