At The Nerve Health Institute in Lafayette, LA, we offer an alternative pain treatment called PEMF. This stands for Pulsed Electromagnetic Field and Grounding Therapy
PEMF stands for Pulsed Electromagnetic Field therapy. This physical therapy is a safe treatment that does not use drugs. It uses low-frequency magnetic fields to help heal damaged tissues and nerves.
These frequencies copy the Earth's natural magnetic field, a non-invasive pain relief. We rarely absorb this today because of modern living, like footwear, concrete, buildings, and technology.
As Dr. Chris Cormier explains:
"We should be touching planet Earth with our feet. We have a magnetic charge coming off it—an average of about 3 to 5 gauss. But because we generally wear shoes and walk on concrete during our daily lives, we don’t get that magnetic charge. Even if I told our patients to lie on the ground for hours, they still wouldn't get back all the energy they lost".
That’s where PEMF and grounding treatments like the Curatron come in for holistic therapy at the Nerve Health Institute. PEMF can help with chronic pain, and give pain relief without medication. It can also reduce inflammation as drug-free therapy for nerves. PEMF is useful for neuropathy and fatigue as healthcare professionals are becoming aware for these medical conditions.
This therapy may aid autoimmune conditions too. Studies has shown the pulsed electromagnetic field PEMF improve cell energy naturally.
The Curatron is one of the most advanced PEMF for nerve pain devices available for cellular healing therapy. Dr. William Pawluk, a well-known internal medicine doctor, created this system for energy-based healing. It sends magnetic pulses up to 10,000 gauss. This is much stronger for the human body than what you could get naturally by walking barefoot.
As Dr. Chris puts it:
"This device takes energy from the Earth and puts it into a safe system. This helps your cells regain the magnetism they have lost." The results are truly amazing when you restore that magnetism to your cells."
We often call the treatment setup a “magnetic sandwich.” In this setup, your body is between two PEMF for inflammation pads like you can watch in the video. This helps ensure maximum exposure and deep cellular activation.
Each PEMF session at The Nerve Health Institute lasts about 30 minutes and is customized based on your tolerance and health condition. We begin with a low intensity for healing. We will slowly increase it during your treatment plan.
As the frequency goes up, many patients feel a wave of energy in their body. This brings a sense of restoration, balance, and release.
This technology doesn’t just help you feel better temporarily. It works by:
Patients with many chronic and acute conditions can benefit from PEMF therapy. This is especially true when other treatments have not worked. Conditions include:
PEMF works well with other therapies we provide. These include Quantum Neurology, Red Light Therapy, and Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy.
PEMF and grounding therapy both try to reconnect the body with the Earth's natural magnetic energy. However, they use different methods namely one is natural and the other artificial.
Grounding, or earthing, means touching the Earth directly. You can walk barefoot on grass or sand to do this, which can be grounding for inflammation. It helps you absorb the Earth's weak magnetic field, which is about 3 to 5 gauss.
PEMF therapy is an alternative therapy that uses a device to send controlled, pulsed magnetic frequencies. These can reach up to 10,000 gauss with high intensity and precision. This makes PEMF better for people who have chronic inflammation and need quick cell repair, deeper detox, or can't spend hours outside. Studies showed both are beneficial, but PEMF offers a deeper, faster recharge.
We don't just use electromagnetic therapy for healing and hope for results. Our team, led by Dr. Chris Cormier, applies PEMF strategically as part of a larger healing protocol. We use our special OWL Method (Oxygen, Water, Light) to help restore your nervous system. We combine different techniques for better results.
When you come to The Nerve Health Institute, you receive:
During your PEMF session, you’ll relax while the device delivers healing energy into your cells. Many people describe feeling relaxed, clear-headed, or even more mobile after just one session. Over time, results become stronger as your cells start recharging and your body begins to function more efficiently.
The technology has no medication, no needles, and no downtime. Just pure healing processes, restorative energy your body craves.
