When the thyroid gland isn’t functioning properly an imbalance in thyroid hormones can occur, leading to thyroid disease.  Your thyroid can be either overactive (resulting in hyperthyroidism) or underactive (resulting in hypothyroidism).  Both can lead to a host of uncomfortable symptoms. Traditionally, thyroid disease has been treated with medications that either reduce production of thyroid hormones or replace these essential hormones. Research supports the claim that PEMF therapy for thyroid issues is effective.  PEMF treatment can provide balance whether your thyroid is over- or under-active.

How Does the Thyroid Impact Health?

Your thyroid gland is responsible for the production and release of essential hormones that regulate metabolism as well as many other vital body functions.  As part of the endocrine system, your thyroid helps send important messages throughout your body.  Thyroid hormones have an impact on almost every major system in your body. A 1996 study found that thyroid hormones act as neurotransmitters, emphasizing further the crucial need for balance and a healthy thyroid gland.

How Does PEMF Therapy Impact the Thyroid?

Cells in your body have a natural electrical charge.  PEMFs work at the cellular level, restoring natural charge to damaged cells.  PEMF therapy also stimulates cellular energy which can reduce inflammation and stimulate production of ATP (adenosine triphosphate). ATP promotes cell function, so when levels are low, cells can become damaged and lose their ability to heal. PEMFs can give the cells the energy they require for optimal functioning, especially when thyroid function is low.

Medications taken long term can produce a range of adverse side effects, but it’s often the first course of treatment for thyroid issues.  But since PEMF therapy can promote balance in hormone production, regular use can reduce the need for these medications. It’s important, then, to monitor levels with your healthcare provider when using PEMF treatment on your thyroid to determine if medication dosage could be reduced. 

Thyroxine, which is secreted by the thyroid, stimulates the consumption of oxygen.  When tissues are not properly oxygenated, serious disease, like cancer, can result. Research has shown that PEMF therapy improves oxygenation to the tissues, thus healing disease.

In addition to stimulating gland function to balance the main thyroid hormones, PEMF can work on nodules that form on the thyroid gland. Nodules on the thyroid are sometimes cancerous, sometimes not.  Multiple nodules can cause a toxic mulitnodular goiter which quickly leads to other illness within the body. PEMF treatment may help these nodules to shrink or disappear.

Treating nodules as early as possible is important.  The sooner PEMFs are applied, the greater the likelihood that these swollen, inflamed nodules will shrink. This reduces the risk that they’ll turn cancerous, and also provides relief from the discomfort nodules can cause.
