A method for stimulating the production of growth factor in living tissue is provided. The method involves time application of a controlled, fluctuating, directionally oriented magnetic field parallel to a predetermined axis projecting through the target tissue. This method provides a non-invasive technique for mediating tissue growth, maintenance, and repair by stimulating the production of growth factors in the tissue of interest. Because cell growth is stimulated by increased levels of growth factor (such as, for example, insulin-like growth factor-II) the beneficial effect remains and continues after the applied magnetic field is removed. Increases in the production of growth factor in the range of 20 to 50 percent have been observed.
