Systems and Methods for Musculoskeletal Tissue Treatment

An apparatus for tendon tissue repair, comprising:

• a controller configured to maintain a slew rate of a pulsed electromagnetic field, the slew rate comprising a ratio of change in amplitude of a magnetic field to a time to make the change in amplitude,
• wherein the slew rate comprises a value between 30 Tesla/second and 100 Tesla/second, and wherein the pulsed electromagnetic field comprises a pulse frequency between 2 kilohertz and 6 kilohertz;
• and
• an electromagnetic field transmitter coupled to the controller and configured to generate the pulsed electromagnetic field with the slew rate and the pulse frequency for a treatment of musculoskeletal tissue.

A method for tendon tissue repair, comprising:

• receiving, by a controller, an input identifying a treatment mode for application of a pulsed electromagnetic (EM) field (PEMF) to a tendon by an EM field generator;
• sending, by the controller, a command to the EM field generator to generate a pulsed EM field in response to the input, the pulsed EM field having a slew rate comprising a value between 30 Tesla/second and 100 Tesla/second and a pulse frequency comprising a value between 2 kilohertz and 6 kilohertz;
• and
• directing, by the controller, the EM field generator to maintain the pulsed EM field with the slew rate and pulse frequency according to a treatment regimen.
