Most clinical-grade PEMF systems support multiple applicators for different uses. Full-body mats deliver systemic effects. Localised pads target specific areas. Ring applicators wrap around limbs. Point applicators concentrate field on small areas. Equine boots fit horse legs. Helmet/cap applicators target cranial use. Buying accessories à la carte allows clinics and home users to expand utility without replacing the base unit.
