Examples of systems and methods for providing alternating magnetic field therapy are provided. One example method includes the steps of positioning a target proximate to a first end of an alternating magnetic field (AMF) head, the AMF head comprising an electrical coil and a ferromagnetic core, the electrical coil having a substantially circular cross-section that is substantially centered on a first axis, the AMF head having the first end corresponding to a first end of the coil and a second end corresponding to a second end of the coil； generating and transmitting an alternating current (AC) signal to the AMF head； determining a temperature of the target based on a sensor signal from a temperature sensor； in response to determining the temperature, modifying the AC signal based on a difference between the temperature and a predetermined target temperature.
