OOG guidelines states for shoulder injuries that pulsed electromagnetic therapy is:
Recommended
as indicated below. Pulsed electromagnetic field was demonstrated to be effective
for rotator cuff disease in the short term, and ultrasound and pulsed electromagnetic field for calcific tendonitis"
ACOEM guidelines rarely support any therapy. However, for pulsed electromagnetic therapy ACOEM guidelines states:
There is limited evidence that electromagnetic therapy may be effective to reduce pain in mechanical neck disorders.
If used, there should be a trial period with objective signs of functional progress"
