Magnetic therapy, also known as PEMF (Pulsed Electromagnetic Field Therapy), uses pulsating electromagnetic fields to improve the body's self-healing capacity. These fields influence the functioning of our cells. Every cell in the body needs an electrical charge to function properly: for communication, metabolism and repair. When we are ill, in pain or under prolonged stress, this electrical balance is disrupted. Magnetic fields can help restore that balance.
During treatment, a strong magnetic field is applied to the body at short intervals. This is done using a mat or applicator that you lie on or that is applied locally. These pulses have a particular effect on the mitochondria, the parts of the cell responsible for energy production.
Various scientific publications, including those found in PubMed, show that PEMF therapy can have a positive effect on accelerating the healing process in disorders of muscles, tendons and joints (see articles below).
In our practice, PEMF is used as part of a broader treatment plan. The therapy is suitable for people who want to support their recovery process in a natural way.

You can use this website to repeat your own chronically active medication. If you take one or more medicines for a longer period, the pharmacy has a free service especially for you: they make sure your medicines are ready at a pre-arranged time.
Do you know that nowadays you can arrange many medical matters online whenever and wherever you want? This saves you a telephone contact with our GP practice. For example, you can view results, request repeat prescriptions or ask your GP a question. You can arrange this in two ways: via the ‘patient environment’ on our website or with the ‘My GP Online’ app.
Your GP puts all the information about your health into a computer. This is called a medical file. For example, the GP puts in what diseases you have, what tests and treatments you have had and what medicines you are taking. This way, your medical information is all together.
Your (GP) doctor and pharmacies can connect their computers to the National Switch Point (LSP). Through the LSP, they can share your most important medical data. Another healthcare provider can view those medical details. The video below briefly explains how the LSP works when you come to the GP surgery.
