Extracorporeal Magnetotransduction Therapy - EMTT®
For Regeneration & Rehabilitation of Musculoskeletal Disorders
Typical Conditions Where EMMT® Is Used
Pain Treatment
Chronic pain, including back pain, lower back pain (lumbago) tension, nerve root pain (radiculopathy.
Joints
Wear and tear conditions such as osteoarthritis (knees, hips, hands, shoulders, elbows), herniated discs, spondyloarthritis (vertebral joints).
Sports Injuries
(Chronic) inflammation of tendons and joints, tendon overuse syndromes, inflammation of the pubic bone (osteitis pubis).
This cutting-edge advanced treatment is now available at our clinic
Extracorporeal Magnetotransduction Therapy (EMTT®) is a non-invasive treatment that has been specially developed for treating musculoskeletal (MSK) pain and other disorders. We either use it alone or in conjunction with our Extracorporeal Shockwave Therapy (ESWT) equipment. In fact, EMTT combined with Shockwave Therapy is a ‘game changer’ for people struggling with chronic conditions.
Disorders of the musculoskeletal system are the most common cause of (chronic) pain and include back pain and osteoarthritis as well as typical sports injuries such as inflammation of the tendons and joints.
People who suffer from these conditions often experience significant limitations in their everyday life as well as reduced quality of life. MSK conditions account for 30% of GP consultations in England.
We use the Magnetolith EMTT, it is the only CE approved electromagnetic therapy for the treatment of MSK diseases of the muscle, bone, joints, nerves, tendons, and tissues. We have also found that it is particularly effective in reducing pain in degenerative joint diseases such as knee and hip arthritis and degenerative spinal pain. It can also help you recover faster from a number of operative procedures. It is a welcome alternative to steroid injections and surgery. The Magnetolith EMTT is capable of generating a wide range of frequencies at varying levels of power, allowing for precise adjustments suitable for your treatment.
Treatment is usually fast and comfortable and depending on the treatment being undertaken and lasts around twenty to thirty minutes. The loop of the applicator is placed directly above or around the part of the body being treated, direct skin contact is not necessary. Treatment is usually repeated up to eight times over a number of weeks.
What Conditions can be Treated With EMTT?
Damaged cells recover faster under EMTT treatment allowing us to treat:
- Chronic bone and joint issues, degenerative joint diseases, and disorders
- Fractures and bone oedema
- Wear and tear conditions: osteoarthritis (knees, hips, shoulders, elbows, feet), herniated discs, spondylarthrosis – allowing us to improve the range of motion
- Chronic pain, including upper and lower back pain, lumbago, tension, radiculopathy, ankylosing spondylitis & heel pain
- Diabetic foot conditions
- Sports injuries: Inflammation of tendons and joints, tendon overuse syndromes, inflammation of the pubic bone – osteitis pubis
- Prevention or retardation of disuse atrophy to temporarily increase local blood circulation in healthy leg muscles
- Post-surgical stimulation of calf muscles: preventing venous thrombosis
- Temporary relief of sore and achy muscles and relaxation of muscle spasm
- Highly acute soft tissue inflammation i.e., gout, rheumatoid arthritis
- Paediatric conditions, enthesopathy or epithelial growth plate pain
In Particular We Deal With the Following Conditions
And non-localised conditions such as bursitis, neuralgia, spasticity, and calcification.
What Happens During EMTT Treatment?
Our Magnetolith machine uses EMTT to target painful areas of the body generating high energy magnetic waves at extremely high oscillating frequencies ranging from 100–300 kHz. These waves penetrate deep tissues up to 18cm beneath the skin’s surface enabling them to reach difficult-to-reach tendons, muscles, bones, and nervous tissues. This deep tissue treatment is unique to this therapy and triggers electromagnetically induced biological effects at the cell and tissue level. It accelerates swelling elimination, helps restore normal blood flow, nutrients, and oxygenation of tissue.
The magnetic waves also stimulate specific biological processes in the tissues that are being targeted, increasing their activity, speeding up and enhancing the healing process in injuries and chronic disorders and reducing inflammation. Fibroblast and collagen proliferation is increased following each treatment leading to wound healing.
