BEMER Therapy in Costa Mesa

BEMER Therapy at Wellness Choice in Costa Mesa

Wellness Choice provides BEMER therapy at our chiropractic and longevity center in Costa Mesa, California. Patients may receive BEMER as a supportive service within an individualized chiropractic, rehabilitation, recovery, or wellness program.

BEMER is a non-invasive medical device system that uses a low-intensity pulsed electromagnetic signal delivered through a treatment mat or localized applicator. It is intended for specific muscle-performance and local-circulation purposes, not as a general treatment for disease.

Recommendations depend on each patient's health history, clinical findings, goals, and the intended purpose of the technology. BEMER does not replace medical evaluation, chiropractic treatment, rehabilitation, or prescribed medical care.

What Is BEMER Therapy?

BEMER stands for Bio-Electro-Magnetic-Energy-Regulation. The system delivers a pulsed electromagnetic field-based signal through a full-body mat or compatible localized applicator.

In the United States, BEMER devices have received FDA 510(k) clearance for two specific intended uses:

• Temporarily increasing local blood circulation in healthy leg muscles
• Stimulating healthy muscles to improve or facilitate muscle performance

BEMER is FDA-cleared, not FDA-approved. Clearance for these uses should not be interpreted as evidence that the device treats cardiovascular disease, neurologic conditions, chronic pain, damaged tissues, or other medical conditions.

The official FDA clearance documentation is available through the FDA 510(k) record for BEMER Therapy Systems .

What Happens During a BEMER Session?

During a standard BEMER session, the patient rests comfortably on the treatment mat while the device delivers its programmed signal. A typical session lasts approximately eight minutes.

The experience is generally:

• Non-invasive
• Drug-free
• Needle-free
• Performed while fully clothed
• Completed without strenuous activity
• Easy to incorporate into a longer office visit

Many patients feel little or no sensation during treatment. Some may notice a subtle sensation or feel relaxed while resting, although individual experiences vary.

The appropriate program and intensity are selected according to the specific device instructions, the patient's circumstances, and applicable clinical guidance.

How BEMER Fits Into Care at Wellness Choice

BEMER is a supportive modality rather than a stand-alone cure or replacement for comprehensive clinical care.

At Wellness Choice, BEMER may be incorporated into a broader program that includes:

• Corrective chiropractic care
• Chiropractic adjustments
• Spinal rehabilitation
• Therapeutic exercise
• Chiropractic BioPhysics® (CBP®) methods
• Non-surgical spinal decompression
• MLS® laser therapy
• Neuromuscular stimulation
• AVACEN® microcirculation therapy
• Recovery and performance-focused care

These services have different purposes and are not interchangeable. BEMER does not correct spinal alignment, decompress a disc, strengthen a weak muscle through exercise, or replace active rehabilitation.

Any combination of services should be based on the patient's examination findings, health history, symptoms, and individual goals.

Why Local Blood Circulation Matters

The circulatory system delivers oxygen and nutrients to tissues and helps transport metabolic byproducts away from them. Microcirculation refers to blood flow through the smallest vessels, including arterioles, capillaries, and venules.

BEMER's FDA-cleared circulation indication is specifically limited to temporarily increasing local blood circulation in healthy leg muscles.

This should not be interpreted as a claim that BEMER improves heart function, treats vascular disease, restores impaired circulation throughout the body, or increases blood flow to every organ.

Patients with diagnosed cardiovascular or circulatory conditions should continue following the recommendations of their medical professionals. BEMER is not a substitute for prescribed medications, cardiovascular evaluation, or medical treatment.

---

BEMER for Healthy Muscle Performance

BEMER's FDA-cleared indications also include stimulating healthy muscles to improve or facilitate muscle performance.

This makes it a potential supportive option within an appropriately selected recovery or performance-focused program.

Patients may appreciate BEMER because it is:

• Brief and convenient
• Non-invasive
• Performed without strenuous activity
• Compatible with certain longer office visits
• Intended to support healthy muscle performance
• Designed to temporarily support local circulation in healthy leg muscles

Individual experiences vary. Feeling relaxed or noticing a subjective change after a session does not establish that BEMER has treated an underlying injury or disease.

---

Is BEMER the Same as Chiropractic Care?

No. Chiropractic care and BEMER have different clinical purposes.

Chiropractic evaluation and treatment may address spinal movement, joint mechanics, posture, structural alignment, neurologic findings, and functional limitations.

BEMER delivers a pulsed electromagnetic signal intended for its cleared muscle-performance and local-circulation uses. It does not adjust the spine, correct posture, or perform spinal rehabilitation.

When both services are used, BEMER functions as a supportive modality within the patient's larger care plan.

---

BEMER Versus Electrical Muscle Stimulation

BEMER is not the same as conventional electrical muscle stimulation.

Electrical muscle-stimulation devices deliver electrical current through electrodes placed on the skin and may produce noticeable muscle contractions.

BEMER uses a pulsed electromagnetic field-based signal delivered through a mat or applicator. Patients generally rest comfortably without the strong contractions associated with some electrical muscle-stimulation treatments.

Wellness Choice offers different technologies because each has a different intended purpose. Recommendations depend on the patient's individual needs.

---

Is BEMER Appropriate for Everyone?

Although BEMER is non-invasive, it should not be used without considering the patient's medical history and the instructions for the specific device.

Before a session, inform the Wellness Choice team if you:

• Are pregnant or may be pregnant
• Have a pacemaker or another implanted electronic device
• Use an implanted medication pump
• Have recently undergone surgery or received an organ transplant
• Have a significant cardiovascular, neurologic, or blood-clotting condition
• Are undergoing active cancer treatment
• Take prescription medication for a serious health condition
• Have been advised to avoid electromagnetic-field devices

Eligibility should be determined using the applicable BEMER device instructions, the patient's health history, and appropriate clinical judgment. Medical clearance may be necessary.

BEMER is not intended for emergency conditions or as a substitute for medical diagnosis and treatment.

BEMER Therapy and Spinal Longevity

Wellness Choice emphasizes Spinal Longevity: preserving spinal alignment, movement, and function throughout life.

Supporting long-term movement involves multiple factors, including spinal care, strength, mobility, rehabilitation, recovery, sleep, nutrition, and regular physical activity.

BEMER may support one aspect of a broader wellness or recovery program when appropriate, but it is not presented as a universal solution to health problems.

Our approach is to use each technology for its intended purpose and explain clearly what it can and cannot reasonably be expected to do.
