If you suffer from chronic musculoskeletal complaints such as back pain or osteoarthritis, you are not alone. These musculoskeletal conditions are among the most common causes of chronic pain and can considerably limit everyday activities.
Many patients are looking for a gentle therapy option. Extracorporeal Magnetotransduction Therapy (EMTT) is available as a state-of-the-art, non-invasive treatment method.
EMTT works with special magnetic pulses that penetrate deep into tissue, where they can stimulate biological processes to support regeneration in the tissue.
What conditions can be treated with EMTT?
EMTT is used for a variety of chronic musculoskeletal complaints, including:
- Chronic joint complaints, such as osteoarthritis, for example of the knee
- Chronic back pain and complaints of the vertebral joints
- Chronic tendinopathies and overstrain disorders
- Chronic irritation in the pubic bone region (osteitis pubis)
What happens in an EMTT procedure?
The EMTT treatment is carried out on an out-patient basis and is generally straightforward. A special therapy strap is positioned over the affected region of the body. Treatment is applied without any direct contact with the skin and it is therefore not necessary to undress.
During the session, targeted magnetic pulses are transmitted into the tissue. The treatment usually takes between 5 and 20 minutes. Several sessions are recommended, depending on the individual set of symptoms, and are organised according to your own situation.
What have studies on EMTT shown?
Extracorporeal Magnetotransduction Therapy (EMTT) has been investigated in multiple clinical studies concerning various musculoskeletal complaints. Results have shown indications of a reduction in pain and an improvement in function. Additional laboratory studies have provided an insight into possible biological action mechanisms.
Whether EMTT is suitable for you should be clarified with you individually. You should discuss your symptoms and potential treatment options with the doctor treating you.
