The bone mineral density (BMD) and grades of lumbago were measured before and after the treatment.ResultsAfter one p eriod of the treatment, BMD had increased in a field of no statistic significanc e (P>0.05) and lumbago died away in all cases.Conclusions PEMF treatment system is likely to be a practicabl e therapy for post-menopausal osteoporosis.
