Understanding tPEMFTM therapy
Understanding tPEMFTM therapy
Targeted Pulsed Electromagnetic Field (tPEMF) therapy delivers electromagnetic waves precisely tuned to stimulate an animal’s natural anti-inflammatory recovery process.
Our clinical solutions are backed by research and evidence-based data
Using double-blind, peer-reviewed veterinary clinical studies, we’ve firmly rooted our products in the scientific veterinary community by verifying that our proprietary tPEMF technology is effective. PEMF technology has also been FDA cleared for human use since 2010.

The history of tPEMF technology
- FDA provides premarket approval for a PEMF device for the healing of nonunion fractures.9
- The Assisi LOOP’s patented signal targeting the upregulation of nitric oxide is developed by Dr. Arthur Pilla and clinically supported for treating non-healing fractures.10
- Additional clinical research is published on use of PEMF for treating urinary incontinence and muscle stimulation.11
- The Nobel Prize for Medicine and Physiology is awarded to three American pharmacologists for their work on nitric oxide as a signaling molecule in the cardiovascular system.12
Clinical research is published supporting the efficacy of PEMF therapy for cervical fusion patients at high-risk of non-fusion.13
Clinical research is published supporting use of PEMF therapy for treatment of depression and anxiety.14
The Assisi Loop is developed based upon clinical research for PEMF signal that reduces pain and edema.15
A scientific review of research is published on the use of PEMF therapy in oncology.16
The Calmer Canine Anxiety Treatment System is unveiled, utilizing a unique tPEMF signal to reduce inflammation in the anxiety center of the brain.
