Still Living With Back Pain After Everything You've Tried?
Chronic back pain is one of the most common reasons people visit Chiropractic Remedy in Burbank — and one of the most undertreated. Many patients arrive having already tried massage, standard chiropractic, physical therapy, and pain medication with incomplete results. If that sounds familiar, High-Energy Inductive Therapy (HEIT) may be the missing piece.
What's Really Happening in Your Back
Back pain rarely comes from one single source. Most chronic cases involve a combination of disc degeneration, spinal muscle dysfunction, nerve irritation, and reduced blood flow to the affected area. When cells in spinal tissue become damaged or chronically inflamed, they lose their normal electrical charge — which impairs their ability to heal. This is where electromagnetic therapy comes in.
How HEIT Treats Back Pain
HEIT (High-Energy Inductive Therapy) uses focused electromagnetic pulses to penetrate deep into spinal muscles, discs, and surrounding tissue. Unlike surface-level modalities, HEIT reactivates the electrochemical function of damaged cells and stimulates healing of nerves, muscles, and blood vessels — reaching tissue that hands and needles simply cannot.
The treatment is fully non-invasive. Patients remain completely clothed during the session. A focused applicator is positioned near the treatment area and delivers electromagnetic pulses for 15–20 minutes. There is no skin contact, no discomfort, and no recovery time required.
HEIT vs. PEMF: What's the Difference?
You may have heard of PEMF (Pulsed Electromagnetic Field) therapy. HEIT operates on the same electromagnetic principles but at dramatically higher energy levels — up to 3 Tesla, which is approximately 600 times stronger than a standard magnet. Where most PEMF devices produce energy so low that patients barely feel them, HEIT generates active muscle contractions and achieves far deeper tissue penetration. The result is faster, more measurable outcomes for conditions like disc pain, spinal muscle dysfunction, and lumbar nerve irritation.
What to Expect at Your HEIT Session
HEIT sessions at Chiropractic Remedy in Burbank typically run 15–20 minutes. You stay fully clothed. During treatment, you may feel rhythmic muscle contractions or a gentle pulsing sensation in the treatment area — this is normal and indicates the electromagnetic field is engaging the target tissue. HEIT is offered as a self-pay service and is not billed through insurance. New patients may require a brief evaluation before their first HEIT session to confirm it is appropriate for their condition.
HEIT Is Often Combined With Chiropractic Care
At Chiropractic Remedy, HEIT is frequently used alongside chiropractic adjustments, Active Release Technique, and rehabilitation exercises. The electromagnetic stimulation from HEIT can help reduce muscle guarding and improve tissue receptivity — making your chiropractic care more effective and your recovery faster.
