Introducing BEMER Therapy
BEMER (Bio-Electro-Magnetic-Energy-Regulation) therapy is a proprietary technology that utilizes a device to apply a pulsed electromagnetic field to the body. It was initially designed to help improve circulation, but has more recently been used by some patients with various health conditions like multiple sclerosis (MS) to try to alleviate symptoms.
Reviewing the Evidence
There has been limited clinical research on BEMER so far, making definitive effectiveness claims difficult. Small early studies show potential benefits for pain management and recovery from injury, but more rigorous, largescale studies are still needed. While some patients like the blogger in the reference article report positive personal experiences, more research is required to fully back up such anecdotal reports.
The Need for Ongoing Assessment
As researchers continue to evaluate electromagnetic and energy-based therapies for treating MS symptoms, patients interested in trying BEMER should speak to their doctor and approach claims carefully. Tracking individual experiences and any symptom changes can also help determine if this works on a case-by-case basis.

What is BEMER therapy?
BEMER (Bio-Electro-Magnetic-Energy-Regulation) therapy uses electromagnetic pulses generated by a proprietary device that is applied to the body through pads placed on the skin. It was originally designed to improve circulation but has more recently been tried for symptom relief by some patients with conditions like multiple sclerosis (MS).
How might it help with MS?
The electromagnetic energy may have anti-inflammatory effects and stimulate healing processes that could potentially reduce MS symptoms like nerve pain, fatigue, bladder control issues, and muscle spasticity. However, larger controlled studies are still needed.
Are there any risks?
BEMER therapy is considered very low risk. Minor side effects like headaches or fatigue are possible as the body adjusts. But there are no known major risks and it is generally considered safe when operated properly.
Should I try it for my MS?
Speak to your healthcare provider first before starting. While some early research is promising, there still isn’t enough evidence yet to make strong recommendations. Tracking your personal experiences with BEMER can help determine if you see any benefits or worsening of symptoms.
