Discover How Active Recovery Boston is Using PEMF and Shockwave Therapy to Improve Patient Outcomes

PEMF (Pulsed Electromagnetic Field) therapy is a non-invasive treatment that uses low-frequency electromagnetic waves to stimulate cells and tissues in the body. This therapy has been used for decades to treat a variety of conditions, including chronic pain, arthritis, depression, and insomnia. In recent years, there have been several breakthroughs in PEMF technology that have led to improved patient outcomes and experiences. However, for areas of the body that are more complex and longer to heal, Active Recovery Boston has brought in shockwave therapy to complement PEMF therapy.

Shockwave therapy is a non-invasive treatment that uses high-energy sound waves to stimulate healing in the body. This therapy has been used for decades to treat a variety of conditions, including chronic pain, plantar fasciitis, and tendinitis. In particular, shockwave therapy is beneficial for ligaments, tendons, and connective tissue in the extremities. Active Recovery Boston uses the Intelect RPW 2 Shockwave Therapy machine from Chattanooga to provide this treatment to their patients.

Here are some of the latest breakthroughs in PEMF and shockwave therapy technology that Active Recovery Boston is using to improve patient outcomes and experiences:

  1. High-Intensity PEMF Therapy

One of the latest breakthroughs in PEMF technology is the development of high-intensity PEMF therapy. This therapy uses stronger electromagnetic waves to penetrate deeper into the body and stimulate cells and tissues more effectively. Active Recovery Boston uses high-intensity PEMF therapy to treat patients with chronic pain, arthritis, and other conditions that require more intensive treatment.

  1. Targeted PEMF Therapy

Another breakthrough in PEMF technology is the development of targeted PEMF therapy. This therapy uses specialized equipment to deliver electromagnetic waves to specific areas of the body, such as joints, muscles, and nerves. This allows for more precise treatment and better outcomes. Active Recovery Boston uses targeted PEMF therapy to treat patients with localized pain and inflammation, such as those with sports injuries or arthritis.

3. Combination Therapy

Another breakthrough in PEMF technology is the use of combination therapy. This involves combining PEMF therapy with other treatments, such as , chiropractic care, Active Release Techniques, dry needling and massage therapy, and  stretch/rehab. This can lead to better outcomes and faster recovery times. Active Recovery Boston offers combination therapy to their patients, tailoring each treatment plan to the individual needs of the patient.

4. Shockwave Therapy

Shockwave therapy is a non-invasive treatment that uses high-energy sound waves to stimulate healing in the body. This therapy is particularly effective for areas of the body that are more complex and longer to heal, such as ligaments, tendons, and connective tissue in the extremities. Active Recovery Boston uses the Intelect RPW 2 Shockwave Therapy machine from Chattanooga to provide this treatment to their patients.


In conclusion, PEMF and shockwave therapy are powerful and effective treatments that can treat a variety of conditions. For areas of the body that are more complex and longer to heal, Active Recovery Boston has brought in shockwave therapy and PEMF therapy.
