PMS Relieves More Than Just Muscle Pain — It Reaches the Nerves
Many people ask, What is PMS?especially during physiotherapy sessions. Today, lets get to know this therapeutic device better.
Peripheral Magnetic Stimulation (PMS) is an electromagnetic therapy designed to relax muscles and relieve both nerve-related and non-nerve-related pain and numbness. It works by stimulating the peripheral nervous system and increasing blood circulation using electromagnetic pulses. Remarkably, this is achieved without causing injury to surrounding tissues.
PMS uses magnetic pulses as strong as 300 Tesla, alternating between a high-power magnetic field and pulse field stimulation, inducing changes in neuromuscular function.
Conditions Treated with PMS
PMS is suitable for patients experiencing:
- Nerve-related pain or numbness that radiates down the arms or legs
- Radicular pain from the neck to the arms
- Post-stroke paralysis or mobility issues
- Numbness from compressed peripheral nerves
- Muscle aches or myofascial pain
- Muscle stiffness or tightness
This method helps restore nerve function and is often used in combination with Shockwave Therapy and High-Power Laser Therapy.
PMS Treatment Process
Although PMS does not require special preparation, a physician will first perform a detailed physical examination and medical history review to ensure safety and suitability.
Patients are advised to disclose the following:
- Pregnancy or possibility of being pregnant
- Presence of metal implants or medical devices inside the body
- History of epilepsy, psychiatric conditions, surgery, or major injuries
These details are crucial for ensuring patient safety during treatment.
Contraindications for PMS
PMS should not be used in patients with:
- A history of seizures or epilepsy
- Implanted metallic devices
- Implanted electronic medical devices such as pacemakers or cochlear implants
Providing accurate and honest information is essential to ensure effective and safe treatment.
Duration and Frequency of Treatment
Each session typically lasts 30 minutes to 1 hour, and the number of sessions required will be determined individually by the physician based on the patient's condition.
Why PMS is Ideal for Modern Lifestyles
PMS offers an effective, non-invasive treatment option for both nerve-related and muscular pain or numbness. One of its key advantages is its short treatment time, allowing patients to return to their daily routine immediately after each sessionmaking it an excellent choice for those with busy lifestyles.
