EMTT
What is EMTT - Extracorporeal Magnetotransduction Therapy?
For regeneration and rehabilitation of musculoskeletal disorders.
Extracorporeal Magnetotransduction Therapy (EMTT®) is a non-invasive treatment that has been specially developed for treating musculoskeletal (MSK) pain and other disorders.
Extracorporeal Magnetotransduction Therapy (EMTT) with the MAGNETOLITH® opens up new possibilities in regeneration and rehabilitation.
The areas of application include diseases of the musculoskeletal system such as lower back pain, arthritis, inflammation of tendons and joints as well as acute injuries. 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.
We achieve excellent results when used in conjunction with our Storz Radial and Focused Extracorporeal Shockwave Therapy (rESWT) equipment.
Typical conditions treated with EMTT
-
Pain Therapy
Chronic pain, e.g. back pain (lumbago), tension, radiculopathies, heel pain.
-
Joint Diseases
Signs of wear and tear, e.g. arthrosis (knee, hip, hands, shoulder, elbow), herniated disc, spondylarthrosis.
-
Sports Injuries
Chronic inflammation of tendons and joints, tendon overload syndrome, osteitis pubis.
EMTT Treatment
We will take a detailed medical history from you to learn about the history of the symptoms and to gain important additional information by asking specific questions. This is then followed up by a hands-on examination, using special orthopaedic tests, if required.
We use the MAGNETOLITH by the Swiss company Storz Medical, one of the world’s leading companies in EMTT and Shockwave therapy.
Combination Therapies
EMTT therapy is an ideal addition to shockwave therapy. These two treatments work hand in hand to relieve both pain and induce healing.
When booking a combination of Osteopathy, shockwave and EMTT, I will ensure you receive the optimum balance of each. It may seem more expensive initially, but it will achieve better/faster results and is more cost effective in the long run. EMTT and Shockwave therapy have a cumulative effect, clinical evidence suggests for EMTT 6-10 treatments are generally recommended (twice per week).
Conditions treated include:
Degenerative joint diseases
Signs of wear and tear, e.g. arthrosis (knee, hip, hands, shoulder, elbow), herniated disc, spondylarthrosis.
Pain therapy
(chronic) pain, e.g. back pain, lumbalgia, tension, radiculopathies, heel pain.Sport injuries
(Chronic) inflammation of tendons and joints, tendon overload syndrome, osteitis pubis.
Inflammation of joints and tendon sheaths, including frozen shoulder (first stage).
Pre/post operative joint replacement.
