Electromagnetic Vascular Therapy in Macomb, MI
At Bence Chiropractic Wellness Center in Macomb, MI, Dr. Pavel Bence, DC, CCWP provides Electromagnetic Vascular Therapy (EVT) using the BEMER system to support healthy circulation, muscle function, physical performance, and recovery. Blood flow is essential to how the body functions, carrying oxygen and nutrients where they are needed and supporting healthy muscles and tissues.
Electromagnetic Vascular Therapy at Bence Chiropractic uses the BEMER system, a form of pulsed electromagnetic field (PEMF) technology. EVT is a comfortable, non-invasive therapy that uses low-intensity electromagnetic fields while you relax on a treatment mat. Dr. Bence uses EVT to stimulate healthy muscles, promote healthy blood flow, and support the body’s natural ability to function and recover. A typical session takes only about eight minutes, making it easy to incorporate into chiropractic care or a broader wellness program.
With more than 40 years of chiropractic experience, Dr. Bence has always looked beyond symptoms alone. His goal is to help the body function as well as possible. EVT gives him another tool to support circulation, muscle function, recovery, and overall wellness based on the needs and goals of the individual patient.
“Healthy circulation affects everything from the way your muscles perform to how well your body recovers. EVT gives us another way to support that process and complement the other care we’re providing.” Dr. Pavel Bence, DC, CCWP
Frequently Asked Questions About Electromagnetic Vascular Therapy
What Is Electromagnetic Vascular Therapy?
Electromagnetic Vascular Therapy is a non-invasive therapy that uses low-intensity pulsed electromagnetic fields, commonly called PEMF, to stimulate healthy muscles and promote healthy circulation. At Bence Chiropractic Wellness Center in Macomb, Dr. Bence provides EVT using the BEMER system. During treatment, you simply relax while the system delivers gentle electromagnetic signals through the body. EVT can be incorporated into a broader chiropractic and wellness plan to support circulation, muscle performance, physical recovery, and overall function.
How Does Electromagnetic Vascular Therapy Work?
EVT works by delivering controlled electromagnetic signals designed to stimulate healthy muscle activity and support blood flow. Dr. Bence places particular importance on circulation because the body’s smallest blood vessels, the capillaries, are where oxygen and nutrients reach tissues and metabolic waste is carried away. Supporting healthy circulation helps create a better environment for muscles and tissues to function, perform, and recover. The treatment itself is passive. You relax comfortably while the BEMER system does the work.
What Are the Benefits of Electromagnetic Vascular Therapy?
Dr. Bence uses EVT to promote healthy blood flow, stimulate muscles, and support physical performance and injury recovery. Patients also appreciate the relaxation that comes from a short, passive treatment. EVT can be particularly useful as part of a broader wellness program for active individuals and athletes because healthy circulation and muscle function are important to both performance and recovery. Dr. Bence determines how EVT fits into care based on what the individual patient is trying to accomplish.
Can Athletes Benefit From EVT?
Yes. Athletes were an important focus of Dr. Bence’s original EVT program. Runners, cyclists, CrossFit participants, and people involved in other sports can use EVT to support healthy muscles, circulation, endurance, performance, and recovery. Dr. Bence also uses EVT as a supportive therapy when an athlete is working to recover and return to activity. Whether you compete seriously or simply want to remain active, treatment can be incorporated into a wellness or recovery program based on your goals.
What Happens During an EVT Session?
An EVT session is simple and comfortable. You remain fully clothed and lie on a treatment mat in a private room for approximately eight minutes. Different intensities can be used, and smaller applicators allow treatment to be focused on particular areas when appropriate. There are no needles or injections and nothing you need to do during the treatment. Most patients simply relax while the session is completed.
Does Electromagnetic Vascular Therapy Hurt?
No. EVT is non-invasive and is not designed to be painful. Most patients feel very little during treatment. Some notice mild warmth, tingling, or a sense of relaxation, while others feel almost nothing at all. Because the therapy does not require exercise or physical effort from the patient, it is an easy treatment to incorporate into a visit. If anything feels uncomfortable during a session, let us know so we can adjust your treatment.
How Long Is an EVT Session, and How Often Should I Have One?
A standard EVT session lasts approximately eight minutes. How often Dr. Bence recommends treatment depends on why you are using EVT and what you hope to accomplish. Some patients incorporate it regularly into their wellness or athletic routine, while others use it to support a particular period of recovery. Dr. Bence can help determine a schedule that makes sense for your needs rather than treating every patient exactly the same way.
Is Electromagnetic Vascular Therapy Safe for Everyone?
EVT is non-invasive, but that does not mean every therapy is appropriate for every person. Dr. Bence reviews your health history before recommending treatment. Be sure to tell us if you are pregnant or have a pacemaker, defibrillator, neurostimulator, joint replacement, metal implant, or other implanted device. Knowing your complete health history allows Dr. Bence to determine whether EVT is appropriate for you and how it should be incorporated into your care.
Why Dr. Bence Focuses on Healthy Circulation
Every part of your body depends on blood flow. Large arteries and veins move blood throughout the body, but the exchange that occurs at the tissue level depends on much smaller vessels called capillaries.
This network is known as microcirculation. Through these tiny vessels, oxygen and nutrients reach tissues and waste products are carried away. Healthy microcirculation supports normal tissue function, muscle performance, and recovery.
This relationship between circulation and whole-body function is what led Dr. Bence to incorporate EVT into the services offered at Bence Chiropractic Wellness Center. Rather than looking at EVT as an isolated treatment, he uses it as another way to support the body’s ability to function efficiently.
What Is BEMER and How Does It Relate to PEMF?
BEMER is the system Dr. Bence uses to provide Electromagnetic Vascular Therapy. It belongs to the broader category of pulsed electromagnetic field, or PEMF, technology.
The BEMER system is a non-invasive, FDA-cleared Class II powered muscle stimulator. Its cleared uses include stimulating healthy muscles to improve and facilitate muscle performance and temporarily increasing local blood circulation in healthy leg muscles.
Those functions are important to how Dr. Bence incorporates BEMER into patient care. For him, the technology is another tool for supporting healthy muscles and circulation within a broader approach to movement, physical activity, recovery, and wellness.
The electromagnetic fields used during EVT are delivered through the treatment mat or targeted applicators. There are no needles, medications, or physical exertion involved. You simply lie comfortably while the programmed session takes place.
How Dr. Bence Incorporates EVT Into Patient Care
With more than 40 years in chiropractic practice, Dr. Bence looks at the individual patient before deciding which therapies belong in a care plan. EVT is one of the tools he can incorporate to support healthy circulation, muscle function, physical recovery, and an active lifestyle.
Depending on the patient’s needs and goals, EVT can be used alongside chiropractic adjustments, massage therapy, exercise, nutrition, and other wellness strategies. For an athlete, the emphasis may be muscle performance and recovery. For a chiropractic or massage patient, EVT can provide additional support for healthy muscles and circulation.
The goal isn’t to recommend EVT to everyone. It’s to determine how the therapy can contribute to what Dr. Bence is trying to accomplish with the individual patient.
“I don’t believe in using a therapy just because we have it. There should be a reason we’re doing it and a purposeful goal we’re trying to support. That’s how I approach EVT and every other part of a patient’s care.” Dr. Pavel Bence, DC, CCWP
How Dr. Bence Uses EVT With Athletes and Active Adults
Dr. Bence has long recognized athletes as one of the groups that can benefit from EVT. Training places demands on muscles and the systems responsible for supplying those muscles with oxygen and nutrients. Recovery is equally important because the body needs an opportunity to prepare for the next workout, practice, or competition. Athletes were specifically emphasized in the original Bence Chiropractic EVT material, including runners, CrossFit participants, cyclists, and people involved in other sports.
Healthy muscle function, circulation, mobility, and recovery all contribute to your ability to keep doing what you enjoy. That’s why Dr. Bence can incorporate EVT alongside chiropractic adjustments, massage therapy, stretching, exercise, and other wellness strategies as part of an active patient’s overall care.
And you don’t have to be a competitive athlete for that philosophy to apply. Staying active might mean running a marathon, playing pickleball, working in the yard, exercising at the gym, riding a bike, or simply wanting your body to keep up with the life you enjoy.
“Athletes ask a lot of their bodies. I look at mobility, muscle function, circulation, recovery, and the other factors that help someone continue performing at the level they expect from themselves. EVT can be another tool we use to support that bigger picture.” Dr. Pavel Bence, DC, CCWP
What to Expect During an EVT Session
EVT is designed to be easy to incorporate into your day.
A standard BEMER session takes approximately eight minutes. You remain fully clothed and relax in a private treatment room on the BEMER mat. When a particular area needs additional attention, different settings and applicators allow the therapy to be focused more specifically.
There is nothing you need to do during treatment. No exercises, injections, or physical exertion are involved. You simply relax while the programmed session runs.
Before beginning, we’ll review your health history and talk about why you’re interested in EVT. That gives Dr. Bence an opportunity to determine whether the therapy is appropriate and how it can best fit with your chiropractic care, athletic goals, or wellness routine.
There is no one-size-fits-all reason for using EVT and no need to make the experience complicated. The goal is to use the therapy where Dr. Bence believes it can provide meaningful support for the individual patient.
How EVT Fits With Chiropractic and Wellness Care
Dr. Bence doesn’t look at health as a collection of unrelated treatments. His approach considers how spinal and joint function, muscles, movement, physical activity, nutrition, and lifestyle work together.
EVT can work alongside chiropractic adjustments, massage therapy, exercise, rehabilitation, and other wellness services. Chiropractic care focuses on proper spinal and joint function, while EVT provides another way to support healthy muscles and circulation. When appropriate, Dr. Bence can combine these approaches as part of an individualized care plan.
For a chiropractic patient, EVT can provide additional support for healthy muscle function and circulation. For a massage patient, it can become another component of a wellness routine centered on muscles, movement, and relaxation. For an athlete, it can complement conditioning, chiropractic care, massage, and physical recovery.
Some patients are interested in supporting circulation and muscle function. Others are active and want to improve recovery. Some simply want to give their bodies additional support as they work toward better overall health.
The common denominator is that Dr. Bence considers the patient first and the therapy second.
