If you’re plagued by chronic pain and can’t find relief, it might be time to try something completely different — electromagnetic therapy. Sarasota Wellness and Internal Medicine recently purchased a QRS machine. QRS stands for Quantron Resonance System, which uses a pulsed electromagnetic field for pain treatment. For treatment, the patient lies on a special mat embedded with electric coils. As electricity passes through the coils, it creates a magnetic field that penetrates your body. In laymen’s terms, the electromagnetic field quiets your nerves and improves blood flow and cell metabolism. Improvement in pain levels can be noticed in as little as two weeks.
Although relatively new, the process has earned rave reviews from researchers and patients alike. The technology has been honored with the Gold Medal of Medicine in Geneva, Switzerland, and has been used to treat Olympic and professional athletes, astronauts, and even championship racehorses. If you haven’t heard anything about electromagnetic therapy, here is a link to a comprehensive report featured on the Nov. 16, 2011 episode of the Dr. Oz Show. One important note: Contrary to the show’s report, the manufacturer claims the machine is safe for pacemakers.
