What is Spinal Muscular Atrophy (SMA)?

Spinal Muscular Atrophy (SMA) is an autosomal recessive inherited neurodegenerative disease characterized by the progressive loss of motor neurons in the anterior horn of the spinal cord—and to a lesser extent in the brainstem. This leads to increasing muscle weakness and atrophy, particularly affecting the proximal (trunk-near) musculature. SMA is one of the most common genetically caused reasons for infant mortality.​

The root cause is a mutation or deletion in the SMN1 gene (Survival Motor Neuron 1) on chromosome 5q13, which is responsible for the production of the essential SMN protein. A variable number of SMN2 gene copies, which produce a poorly transcribed backup protein, significantly influences the severity of the disease.

The root cause is a mutation or deletion in the SMN1 gene (Survival Motor Neuron 1) on chromosome 5q13, which is responsible for the production of the essential SMN protein. A variable number of SMN2 gene copies, which produce a poorly transcribed backup protein, significantly influences the severity of the disease:

• SMA Type 1: Onset before 6 months of age, inability to sit independently, severe progression with respiratory insufficiency.
• SMA Type 2: Onset between 6 and 18 months of age, ability to sit independently, but no independent walking
• SMA Type 3: Onset after 18 months, patients learn to walk but often lose this ability later
• SMA Type 4: Late-onset form in adulthood with mild symptoms.

Despite the primarily motor nature of the condition, secondary complications such as scoliosis, breathing problems, and contractures frequently occur. Cognitive development usually remains unaffected. Today, diagnosis is primarily genetic and increasingly part of newborn screening programs.

 

Current State of Therapy

Currently available pharmaceutical therapies such as Spinraza®, Evrysdi®, or Zolgensma® target the genetic level and aim to increase the SMN protein level in the body. They are considered medical breakthroughs—but with limitations:

• High cost: These treatments are among the most expensive medications in the world.
• Limited effect: They aim not to improve symptoms but merely to slow or halt disease progression.
• No guarantee of success: For some patients, the therapy shows little to no effect
• Uncertainty about long-term effects: Long-term studies are lacking—the potential late side effects are still unknown and therefore cannot be ruled out.

 

Our Approach: PEMF – An Effective, Safe, and Cost-Efficient Alternative

Our PEMF therapy (Pulsed Electromagnetic Field Therapy) offers a completely different therapeutic approach: it specifically stimulates cellular energy production and reorganizes neuronal activity at a bioenergetic level—without genetic engineering, without medication, without invasive procedures. 

Scientifically validated and supported by thousands of studies, PEMF acts directly on cell function, mitochondrial activity, blood circulation, oxygen supply, and the electrochemical exchange of information in nerves and muscles. This can result in a real improvement in mobility, strength, and quality of life—not just halting the disease, but actively promoting motor function.​

 

Our Therapy Is:

• Scientifically validated and clinically tested over many years
• Safe and free of known side effects
• Significantly more cost-effective than genetic or RNA-based drug therapies
• Suitable for all age groups and every stage of SMA
• Usable daily at home – flexible and individually adjustable

Who Is This Therapy Especially Suitable For?

Who Is This Therapy Especially Suitable For?

• Patients with SMA for whom pharmaceutical therapies are ineffective or unaffordable
• Parents seeking a safe, effective, and sustainable solution
• Individuals who want to avoid pharmaceutical risks and use a nature-based high-tech method

 

Why PEMF?

PEMF is not a supplement – it is a superior alternative.

Unlike expensive, potentially risky, and symptom-stabilizing medications, our therapy offers:

• Active symptom improvement
• High everyday usability
• Long-term safety
• Sustainable impact at the cellular level

We support you competently, empathetically, and individually.

 

Give your child a new chance for development, strength, and joy in life.

PEMF therapy is a gentle, scientifically backed method that works where medications often reach their limits: in the natural activation of the body’s own resources. Trust in a technology that transforms hope into motion – for your child, for your family, for a life with more possibilities.
