I did use a Bemer devise in the past. But it was quite expensive and I returned it after the 30 day trial period. I decided to ty it again on a longer term to see the benefits.

PEMF is FDA approved and NASA has used it. There are no documented side effects and can have long term benefits.

It's worth a try.
I spent about an hour or so on the fda.gov website, and could not find any statement or document where the FDA has approved the PEMF device. If you type in "PEMF approval" in their search data field, you get a 2013 warning letter to Curatronic Ltd. telling them that they have violated the law by improperly marketing the device. They do say in the letter that the PEMF device is "cleared" (not approved) for:

1. Stroke rehabilitation by muscle re-education
2. Prevention or retardation of disuse atrophy
3. Increasing local blood circulation
4. Muscle re-education
5. Maintaining or increasing range of motion
