Abstract

There is mounting evidence to suggest that exogenous electromagnetic fields (EMF) may play a significant role in various biological processes that are crucial to therapeutic interventions. EMFs have been identified as a non-invasive, safe, and effective therapy that appears to have no apparent side effects. Numerous studies have demonstrated that pulsed EMFs (PEMFs) have the potential to become a stand-alone or adjunctive treatment modality for managing musculoskeletal disorders. However, several questions remain unresolved. Before their widespread clinical application, further research from well-designed, high-quality studies is required to standardize treatment parameters and determine the optimal protocol for healthcare decision-making. This article provides a comprehensive overview of the impact of musculoskeletal diseases on overall well-being, the limitations of conventional treatments, and the need to explore alternative therapeutic modalities such as electromagnetic field (EMF) therapy. EMF therapy uses low-frequency electromagnetic waves to stimulate tissue repair, reduce inflammation, and modulate pain signals, making it a safe and convenient alternative to conventional treatments. The article also discusses the historical perspective of EMF therapy in medicine. The article highlights the potential of EMF therapy as a personalized and comprehensive care option for musculoskeletal diseases, either alone or in conjunction with other therapies. It emphasizes the imperative for further research in this field and presents a compelling case for the use of EMF therapy in managing musculoskeletal diseases. Overall, the available findings on the underlying cellular and molecular biology support the use of EMF therapy as a viable option for the management of musculoskeletal disorders and stresses the need for continued research in this area.

用电磁场疗法治疗肌肉骨骼疾病。
越来越多的证据表明,外源电磁场(EMF)可能在对治疗干预至关重要的各种生物过程中发挥重要作用。电磁场已被确定为一种非侵入性、安全、有效的疗法,似乎没有明显的副作用。大量研究表明,脉冲电磁场(PEMFs)有可能成为治疗肌肉骨骼疾病的一种独立或辅助治疗方式。然而,仍有几个问题尚未解决。在其广泛应用于临床之前,需要对设计良好的高质量研究进行进一步研究,以规范治疗参数,并为医疗决策确定最佳方案。本文全面概述了肌肉骨骼疾病对整体健康的影响、传统疗法的局限性以及探索电磁场疗法等替代治疗方式的必要性。电磁场疗法使用低频电磁波来刺激组织修复、减轻炎症和调节疼痛信号,是一种安全、方便的传统疗法替代方法。文章还从历史角度探讨了电磁场疗法在医学中的应用。文章强调了电磁场疗法作为治疗肌肉骨骼疾病的个性化综合疗法的潜力,既可单独使用,也可与其他疗法结合使用。文章强调了在这一领域开展进一步研究的必要性,并提出了使用电磁场疗法治疗肌肉骨骼疾病的令人信服的理由。总之,关于基本细胞和分子生物学的现有研究结果支持将电磁场疗法作为治疗肌肉骨骼疾病的一种可行选择,并强调了在这一领域继续开展研究的必要性。
