Spotlight on Fix Medical Group and the emFieldPro Advantage
With offices in San Diego and Scottsdale, Fix Medical Group is known for its integrative approach to athletic recovery, rehab, and performance optimization. At the forefront of that care is Dr. Shawn Robek, DC, who introduced Zimmer MedizinSystems’ emFieldPro into his treatment model—and now considers it a core tool in his recovery and performance toolbox.
In this video for A to Z News, Dr. Robek introduces the concept as PEMF therapy, standing beside the emFieldPro as he explains its impact on healing and pain relief. While PEMF (Pulsed Electromagnetic Field) is a widely used umbrella term, the device he’s demonstrating operates with Zimmer MedizinSystems’ HEIT™ technology—High Energy Inductive Therapy, a more specific approach representing the next evolution in electromagnetic therapy.
What’s the Difference Between PEMF and HEIT?
Dr. Robek explains it clearly in our exclusive follow-up interview:
“I’ve used various PEMF devices over the years… The emFieldPro’s HEIT technology delivers way more power and penetrates deeper into the tissue. That means we’re reaching muscle, fascia, and even joint structures more effectively.”
Traditional PEMF devices often require manual tuning, where frequency and power adjustments can be a trade-off—raising one often lowers the other—resulting in lower output and constant clinician attendance. In contrast, HEIT can deliver higher power and frequency simultaneously with optimized presets, enabling deeper penetration, greater consistency, and often mostly unattended treatments. This makes emFieldPro uniquely suited for busy clinics like Fix Medical Group that prioritize high-performance care.
“It’s like their muscles are waking up.”
Real Patient Feedback on emFieldPro
During treatments, patients feel a rhythmic pulsing or tapping sensation—not painful, but deeply activating.
“Some people say it feels like their muscles are waking up,” Robek says. “Afterward, most patients report less stiffness and better movement right away.”
In one particularly memorable case, a patient suffering from neuropathy—after numerous unsuccessful interventions—noticed rapid improvement after a series of emFieldPro sessions.
“It surprised both of us how quickly things turned around,” he shares.
And as he notes in the video:
“It’s powerful and precise to promote healing at the cellular level… Whether you’re dealing with back pain, joint pain, muscle injuries, or just looking to support recovery—PEMF can be a game changer.”
An Integrated Approach to Pain, Recovery & Performance
At Fix Medical Group, emFieldPro is used alongside chiropractic, manual therapy, and rehab exercises—especially in cases of chronic pain, low back issues, tendinopathies, nerve irritation, and even post-surgical recovery.
“If someone comes in with a stubborn shoulder issue, we might do manual therapy, rehab exercises, and then finish with the emFieldPro to calm inflammation and accelerate healing.”
The time-saving and flexible application makes it a standout for both patients and providers.
“It’s efficient, effective, and easy to integrate. The fact that you can run it while doing other treatments is a huge plus.”

A to Z News Exclusive Interview with Dr. Shawn Robek of FIX Medical Group
A to Z News: In your video, you introduce therapy with the Zimmer MedizinSystems emFieldPro device. How would you explain this treatment to a new patient walking into your office?
SR: I’d tell a new patient that Zimmer MedizinSystems’ emFieldPro is a powerful tool we use to reduce pain, improve mobility, and speed up recovery. It uses high-energy pulsed electromagnetic fields to stimulate tissue and promote healing at a deeper level than most other technologies. “Think of it like supercharged cellular stimulation that helps your body heal faster.”
A to Z News: The emFieldPro uses Zimmer MedizinSystems’ High Energy Inductive Therapy (HEIT) technology. Based on your experience, what differences do you see between this and basic PEMF devices?
SR: I’ve used various PEMF devices over the years, and while they can be effective, the emFieldPro is on another level. The emFieldPro’s HEIT technology delivers way more power and penetrates deeper into the tissue. That means we’re reaching muscle, fascia, and even joint structures more effectively.
A to Z News: How has the emFieldPro fit into your overall treatment model at Fix Medical Group? What kinds of patients or conditions do you most often use it for?
SR: It’s become a core part of our recovery and performance toolbox. We use it a lot with athletes, post-surgical patients, and people dealing with chronic pain or inflammation. It pairs really well with chiropractic, rehab, and soft tissue work. For example, if someone comes in with a stubborn shoulder issue, we might do manual therapy, rehab exercises, and then finish with the emFieldPro to calm inflammation and accelerate healing. It’s also great for conditions like low back pain, hip pain, tendinopathies, and even nerve irritation.
A to Z News: Have you noticed any standout results or unexpected outcomes using the emFieldPro in your practice?
SR: One case that stands out is a patient who had been dealing with neuropathy. They had tried a number of Western medicine interventions, and after a series of emFieldPro sessions they were walking more comfortably. It surprised both of us how quickly things turned around.
A to Z News: What do your patients typically feel during and after a treatment session? Any feedback you hear often?
SR: During treatment, patients feel rhythmic tapping or pulsing in the treatment area. It’s not painful—more like a deep muscle activation. Some people say it feels like their muscles are “waking up.” Afterward, most patients report less stiffness and better movement right away.
A to Z News: Would you recommend the emFieldPro to other athletic recovery chiropractors or rehab-focused practices? Why or why not?
SR: Absolutely. If your practice is focused on recovery, performance, or helping people heal without surgery or meds, the emFieldPro is a great option. It’s efficient, effective, and easy to integrate. The fact that you can run it while doing other treatments is a huge plus. It’s helped us get better outcomes faster.
