Pulsed magnetic fields aimed at influencing cells, easing pain, supporting bone, and aiding recovery. The strongest, long-accepted use is helping difficult bone fractures heal; benefit for worn knees and thinning bones is moderate and mixed; energy and longevity claims stay speculative. Safety is benign for most, but implanted electronic devices are a firm exception. (Full Review)
| Marker | Target | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Bone Mineral Density (DEXA) | T-score at or above −1.0 | Tracks the main bone benefit |
| 25-Hydroxyvitamin D | 40–60 ng/mL | Vitamin D is required for bone to respond |
| Serum Calcium | 9.4–9.8 mg/dL | Supports bone mineralization |
| P1NP | Upper-normal for age and sex | Shows whether bone-building is active |
| CTX | Low-normal for age and sex | Shows the rate of bone breakdown |
| hs-CRP | Below 1.0 mg/L | Gauges the inflammation PEMF may lower |
Cadence: Symptoms every few weeks; bone-density scan every 12–24 months; bone blood markers every 3–6 months
