1. A method of treating degenerative joint disease comprising:

  • positioning a flexible coil wire applicator of a lightweight wearable or stationary pulsed EMF therapy device adjacent to a joint or tissue to be treated;

    applying a treatment regime from the therapy device, wherein the treatment regime comprises bursts of electromagnetic signals having a peak amplitude of less than about 200 milliGauss, wherein the bursts have a duration of between about 0.5 msec and about 50 msec, further wherein the bursts are repeated at an interburst interval of between about 2 seconds and 0.1 second for a treatment on-time, followed by a treatment off-time that is greater than the treatment on-time.
