Exercise For Your Cells

How PEMF Therapy Works.

Every cell in your body carries an electrical charge, and that charge is what lets it take in nutrients, clear out waste, and repair itself. When tissue is injured, inflamed, or simply worn down, that charge drops.

PEMF therapy sends gentle magnetic pulses through the body that cells respond to, a bit like the way muscle responds to exercise. Nothing enters the body, and nothing is taken from it.

At Aervita we use the Pulse X, a high-voltage PEMF system with soft, flexible coils that can be placed over a single joint or laid along the whole body. You stay fully clothed, and most people feel a light tapping or fluttering where the coil sits. Sessions run about twenty minutes.

Research suggests PEMF therapy may support circulation, help calm inflammation, and encourage the body’s own repair processes. That is why we most often use PEMF therapy alongside hyperbaric oxygen therapy, chiropractic care, and functional medicine rather than as a standalone fix.

WHAT WE SEE IN THE CLINIC
A patient came to us with lingering swelling and pain in the knee after replacement surgery. We started with a localized paddle placed over the joint. They reported noticeably less swelling and discomfort after the first session, and we built a package from there.

WHAT TO EXPECT

Your First PEMF Therapy Session

PEMF therapy at Aervita is not a machine you are handed a timer for. A practitioner chooses the accessory, the placement, and the intensity based on what is going on with you, then adjusts all three as your body adapts over the course of your package. Your first visit takes about an hour; sessions after that run about twenty minutes.

Initial Health Assessment

Everyone starts with an Initial Health Assessment: a 40-minute visit with one of our doctors, $84. We go through your history, confirm PEMF therapy is safe for you, set expectations, answer your questions, and recommend the protocol we think will help most. That may be PEMF, or it may be another service we offer. It is a real clinical consult, not a sales appointment.

Placement & Intensity

You stay fully clothed and get comfortable. We use localized paddles to isolate a specific area, such as a knee, a shoulder, or the low back, or a larger pad when we want to support a wider region of the body. We start the intensity low and bring it up to a level that feels strong but never uncomfortable. You tell us where that line is.

The Session

Most sessions run about twenty minutes. You will feel a rhythmic tapping or fluttering pulse where the coil sits, a strange sensation the first time and one most people come to like. Some patients read, some close their eyes. There is nothing you need to do.

After Your Session

There is no downtime and nothing to recover from. You get up and go on with your day. Many people notice easier movement right away; deeper changes tend to build across a series, which is why we work in packages rather than one-offs.

What Patients Say About PEMF Therapy

I tried the PEMF and infrared therapy. Felt an incredible difference in my elbow with the PEMF. I suffered a dislocation in my elbow and haven't been able to extend it fully without pain, after the PEMF my pain was gone at that end range and it felt like I had never dislocated it. The infrared was rejuvenating and relaxing. I meditated while laying there, highly recommend. Muscle sorenesses also went away!! Super great people here aswell, very knowledgeable and ready to inform!

Owen K.

Elbow injury · PEMF + infrared

Love Aervita! Staff is very knowledgeable & helpful and go above and beyond to make sure you are getting the right care! I started Redlight & PEMF 2 months before a total knee replacement & my recovery was amazing! I could do a full bicycle rotation before my 2 week follow up. The redlight & PEMF has really helped in my muscle recovery and every day well being! I highly recommend

Maura S.

Knee replacement prep · red light + PEMF

I went to Aervita for a non-healing wound. After 4 foot surgeries in an year and a staph infection, the medical community didn't know what to do to heal me. After 8 sessions of PEMF and HBOT, progress is definitely being made. Dr. Jaron and all the staff are great! I highly recommend.

Mel B.

These guys have helped me out with my gut issues, joint pain, and skin issues. My hands and ankles were swollen and painful before working with Dr.Jaron, and his protocol helped me a lot. Very knowledgeable and trustworthy. Easy to work with these guys, and they genuinely care.

PEMF Therapy in Edina: Frequently Asked Questions

PEMF therapy — pulsed electromagnetic field therapy — uses gentle magnetic pulses to stimulate cells, in the way exercise stimulates muscles. At Aervita we use the Pulse X, a professional-grade system, with placement and intensity set by our trained team. Sessions are non-invasive: you stay fully clothed while the applicator does the work.

Most people feel a rhythmic tapping or gentle pulsing wherever the applicator sits — odd for the first minute, then surprisingly relaxing. Intensity is dialed to your comfort and can be adjusted at any point during the session. There is no pain, no needles, and no downtime afterward.

Sessions at our clinic run 20 minutes. Because there is no recovery time, many patients schedule PEMF right before or after a chiropractic adjustment or another appointment — it fits easily inside a lunch break.

PEMF therapy is non-invasive and generally well tolerated. We screen every patient first — implanted electronic devices such as pacemakers, and pregnancy, are among the situations where PEMF is not recommended. That screening happens at your Initial Health Assessment, before your first session is ever booked.

It depends on the goal. Some patients feel meaningfully looser after a handful of sessions; recovery-focused patients often settle into a weekly rhythm. Our packages come in 5-, 10-, and 20-session sizes with 10–25% savings, and your doctor will recommend a starting point rather than a maximum.

Single packages run $243 for 5 sessions, $459 for 10, and $810 for 20. For ongoing use, the Rejuvenate Membership ($279/month) includes up to four recovery sessions per week mixing PEMF and red light therapy — details are on our memberships page.

PEMF is generally not covered by insurance, and Aervita operates as a transparent cash-pay clinic. Many patients use HSA/FSA funds where their plan allows; we are happy to provide itemized documentation for your administrator.

Because PEMF here is doctor-led and part of a bigger toolkit. Your sessions are screened, placed, and dosed by trained staff on professional Pulse equipment, progress is reviewed against your plan, and when a different tool would serve you better, we say so. That is the standard we hold for every therapy in the building.

Curious about the science behind PEMF therapy? Independent overviews are a good place to start — the National Library of Medicine hosts a broad index of published PEMF research you can browse yourself, and our doctors are always glad to walk through what the evidence does and does not show for your goals.

One more practical note: PEMF therapy rewards consistency more than intensity. A single strong session feels pleasant, but the patients who report the most durable change are the ones who keep a steady rhythm — a few sessions a week during a recovery push, then a maintenance cadence once things settle. That is why our packages and memberships are built around repetition rather than one-off visits, and why your doctor will talk about PEMF in terms of weeks, not minutes.

And if you are still on the fence, start small. Book the $84 assessment, ask every question on this page in person, and try a single session to feel the pulsing for yourself. PEMF therapy is one of the easiest therapies in our clinic to evaluate firsthand — twenty minutes, fully clothed, no downtime — and you will know quickly whether it belongs in your routine at Aervita.

Questions we did not cover here? Bring them to your assessment or send them through our contact page — a real person reads every message. Whether PEMF therapy becomes a weekly habit or simply one tool you tried on the way to feeling better, we want the decision to be an informed one, made with a doctor who knows your history and respects your goals.

PEMF at the Clinic vs. Consumer Devices at Home

The home-device market is crowded — mats, rings, and wearables at every price point. The honest difference is dose and guidance. Consumer devices run at a fraction of the field strength of a professional system like the Pulse X, and none of them come with a doctor who screens you, sets the protocol, and adjusts it as your body responds. Some patients do both: clinic sessions for the heavy lifting, a home mat for maintenance. If you already own a device, bring it up at your assessment — we would rather help you use it well than pretend it does not exist.

How We Track Whether PEMF Is Working

Every PEMF therapy plan at Aervita has a stated goal — less morning stiffness, faster recovery between workouts, more comfortable movement in a specific joint — and a check-in date. At each re-evaluation your doctor compares notes against that goal, not against vague optimism. Plans that are working continue; plans that are not get changed, whether that means different placement, a different accessory, a different cadence, or a different therapy altogether. Twenty minutes is a small investment per session, and we intend for every one of them to earn its place in your week.

A scheduling tip from our front desk: PEMF slots pair naturally with whatever else brings you to the clinic. Patients on chiropractic memberships often book their PEMF session immediately before an adjustment; Rejuvenate members tend to anchor two fixed weekly slots and float the rest around training and travel. However you build your week, the online calendar shows PEMF availability in real time, and twenty minutes is short enough that most people never need to rearrange anything else to fit it in.
