Because PEMF therapy has an impact at the cellular level, it can be applied to a wide range of situations where enhanced cellular function is a benefit. Certain frequencies are known to be more effective for certain uses. OMI PEMF products are extremely user friendly and allow you to choose between three settings:
P1: Sliding frequency between 3 and 38 hertz.
P2: Sliding frequency between 1 and 99 hertz.
