Question 1

Is 3 Tesla electromagnetic therapy safe? Who cannot receive treatment?

Accepted Answer

Salus Talent Pro therapy is FDA-cleared and extremely safe for most patients. However, the powerful 3 Tesla magnetic field is strictly contraindicated for individuals with cardiac pacemakers, defibrillators, cochlear implants, insulin pumps, or any active electronic medical devices, as the magnetic field may interfere with their function. Treatment is also contraindicated during pregnancy. Non-magnetic orthopedic implants (titanium plates, screws, joint replacements) are generally safe. Always inform your therapist of any implants or medical conditions during screening.

Question 2

How quickly will I feel results from electromagnetic therapy?

Accepted Answer

Most patients at DakshinRehab experience immediate pain relief after their first 20-30 minute session due to endorphin release and pain gate modulation. However, tissue healing and functional improvements are progressive—optimal results typically appear after 6-10 sessions as circulation improves, inflammation reduces, and nerve/muscle function regenerates. Chronic conditions like frozen shoulder, peripheral neuropathy, or urinary incontinence require a full course of 10-15 sessions for lasting, sustained improvement.

Question 3

Can the magnetic field penetrate through clothing and deep tissues?

Accepted Answer

Yes—this is a major clinical advantage. The 3 Tesla (30,000 Gauss) magnetic field penetrates effortlessly through clothing, skin, fat, and muscle to reach depths of 8-10 cm inside the body. This allows treatment of deep pelvic floor muscles, nerve roots, joint capsules, and internal organs (bladder, prostate) that are impossible to access manually or with surface-level therapies. You remain fully clothed throughout treatment, making it comfortable, hygienic, and ideal for treating sensitive areas with complete patient dignity.

Question 4

Is electromagnetic therapy scientifically proven? Is it FDA-approved?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Repetitive Peripheral Magnetic Stimulation (rPMS) and High-Intensity Focused Electromagnetic (HIFEM) therapy are FDA-cleared and CE-certified technologies backed by extensive clinical research. Published studies demonstrate effectiveness for urinary incontinence (75-80% improvement), osteoarthritis pain relief, peripheral neuropathy, post-stroke spasticity, and chronic pain management. The Remed Salus Talent Pro is used in hospitals and rehabilitation centers worldwide and meets international medical device safety standards.

Question 5

How is this different from TENS or standard PEMF devices?

Accepted Answer

TENS (Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation) delivers low-intensity surface electrical currents for temporary pain masking—it does not strengthen muscles or heal tissues. Standard PEMF (Pulsed Electromagnetic Field) devices generate weak magnetic fields (typically 10-100 Gauss) that only penetrate 1-2 cm. Salus Talent Pro generates 30,000 Gauss (3 Tesla)—300 times stronger—penetrating 8-10 cm deep to induce supramaximal muscle contractions, modulate nerve activity, and stimulate deep tissue regeneration. It's a fundamentally different mechanism with far superior clinical outcomes.

Question 6

Is the treatment painful? What does it feel like?

Accepted Answer

No, electromagnetic therapy is not painful. You will feel a deep, rhythmic pulsing or tapping sensation inside your muscles as they contract involuntarily. Some patients describe it as a 'firm internal massage' or 'deep vibration.' The sensation is powerful and unfamiliar but generally well-tolerated and often feels relieving. Intensity can be adjusted for comfort. Mild muscle soreness (similar to post-workout soreness) may occur for 24 hours after the first 1-2 sessions as muscles adapt.

Question 7

Can electromagnetic therapy replace surgery or injections?

Accepted Answer

In many cases, yes. For conditions like urinary incontinence, frozen shoulder, chronic pelvic pain, osteoarthritis, and peripheral neuropathy, electromagnetic therapy provides a non-invasive alternative to cortisone injections, surgical intervention, or long-term medication. Clinical studies show significant functional improvement and pain reduction comparable to—or better than—invasive procedures, without surgical risks, recovery time, or side effects. Your physiotherapist will assess whether electromagnetic therapy is appropriate for your specific condition or if it should be combined with other treatments.

Question 8

How many sessions will I need? How long do results last?

Accepted Answer

Most chronic conditions require 10-15 sessions (2-3 times per week over 4-6 weeks) for optimal, lasting results. Acute pain conditions may respond in 3-6 sessions. Benefits are cumulative—tissue healing, nerve regeneration, and muscle strengthening continue for weeks after treatment ends. Results can last 6-12 months or longer, especially when combined with ongoing physiotherapy and lifestyle modifications. Periodic maintenance sessions (every 1-3 months) can extend benefits indefinitely for chronic conditions.
