Healing Bruises and Wounds with PEMF
BY JONATHAN BOWEN
Bleeding below the skin is called bruising or contusions.
Bruises
Bruises (contusions) are caused by bleeding in the tissues ( hematoma) due to damaged capillaries, causing blood to seep into the surrounding tissues beneath the skin (subcutaneous). Bruises can also involve muscles and bones.
Capillaries are the tiny blood vessels (microvessels) fed by the arteries that branch into the arterioles, where oxygen, water, and other nutrients are deposited, and carbon dioxide and waste are picked up from the tissue and then drained by the venules into the veins. Bruises can be painful because as the blood builds up, it can cause pressure on the nerve endings.
Wounds
Wounds occur when the upper layer of the skin (epidermis) and the underlying area of the skin (dermis) are ruptured, cut, or punctured.
Grazes (abrasions) are breaks to the upper layer of the skin (epidermis), where the underlying skin remains intact.
Puncture wounds occur when an object cuts the skin into the underlying tissue.
Lacerations are irregular tears caused by blunt trauma and often accompanied by bruises (contusions).
Incisions are “clean” cuts into the wound made by sharp objects. Clean, in this case, refers to the type of incision, not the state of the wound.
The skin acts as a protective barrier against infection and foreign objects outside the body. When skin is broken, one of the critical concerns is the contamination of the blood and tissues by foreign bodies. Often puncture wounds, lacerations, and incisions require stitches or skin closures to hold the skin together and assist in preventing more foreign substances from entering the wound, helping with the healing and rebuilding of tissue.

Built in Repair Mechanisms for Wounds and Bruises
When a bruise or wound occurs, the lining of the capillaries (called endothelium) releases the hormone called endothelin, which promotes the narrowing of the blood vessels to restrict the flow of blood (vasoconstriction) and prevent bleeding.
Platelets in the blood plug the damaged areas, and glycoproteins work to coagulate the blood and stop the bleeding (hemostasis) by forming a clot that seals the hole until the tissue can be repaired and normal function restored.
Wounds contain inflammation. During inflammation, the dead cells, bacteria, foreign substances and disease-causing substances (pathogens) are removed by the white blood cells engulfing them, breaking them down for removal by the blood. This process is called phagocytosis.
Cell division occurs to regrow tissue during this phase, leading to the proliferation phase. New blood vessels are formed (a process called angiogenesis). Tissues are formed (fibroplasia/fibroblasts) and refined, and the unused building blocks are removed.
PEMF - healing bruises and wounds – it is all in the blood
One of the significant factors in healing is the ability of the blood to bring the necessary healing agents, nutrients, oxygen and water to the damaged area.
Scientists examining blood cells during live cell analysis have observed a phenomenon called the Rouleaux effect which restricts the efficiency of the blood in healing, as it reduces surface area and prevents blood cells from passing through the capillaries. Blood that cannot pass through the capillaries cannot absorb or dispel toxins or carbon dioxide, neither can it absorb and dispel nutrients or oxygen. This issue is exacerbated in a bruised area, as the blood cannot bring the necessary agents to promote healing nor remove the damaged material.
PEMF positively charge the cells, removes the Rouleaux effect, and increases the blood cells’ surface areas, allowing the blood to operate efficiently, delivering oxygen, nutrients, water and healing agents while removing damaged and dead cells. Healing is dramatically improved, and its time frame decreased. PEMF facilitates recovery without causing adverse side effects. At the same time, nerve damage can be recuperated, and pain can be alleviated by stimulating the body’s natural pain inhibitors without synthetic painkillers, which have dangerous side effects.
The Curatron PC and 3D have preprogrammed settings for contusions (bruising) built right into the software. The XP and XPSE treat bruising under the preprogrammed wellness and wound healing settings. In addition, all systems have built-in protocols for pain therapy.
