Chronic pain is a debilitating condition that affects millions, limiting mobility and diminishing their quality of life. Traditional treatments like pills and invasive procedures, while effective for some, often come with serious side effects that may not suit every patient.
Fortunately, medical technology advancements have paved the way for innovative therapies, offering safer, non-invasive alternatives. Among these, Extracorporeal Magnetotransduction Therapy (EMTT) stands out as a promising solution for managing a wide range of chronic conditions.
We will explore what this therapy is and how it works and give some examples of chronic conditions that it has been successfully used to treat.
Extracorporeal Magnetotransduction Therapy or EMTT is an effective treatment method for disorders of the musculoskeletal system as well as treating connective tissues, degenerative joint and disc diseases, arthritis, chronic inflammation, fractures, pre-and post-surgical treatments, sports injuries, and almost any inflammatory condition.
It’s a non-invasive outpatient procedure that uses high-energy magnetic pulses to reduce inflammation and stimulate healing at the cellular level. It is a safe and non-invasive way to improve mobility, reduce discomfort, and improve the quality of life for your patients.
EMTT was explicitly developed for treating chronic musculoskeletal diseases and can be used alone or as an effective complement to other treatment modalities like Red Light Therapy and Dry Needling. EMTT uses a handheld applicator to apply magnetic fields that can also be placed on or around body parts.
It’s believed that electromagnetic fields can stimulate tissue repair at the cellular level, reduce inflammation, and modulate pain signals, making them a non-invasive, safe, and more convenient alternative to traditional treatments like pain pills or invasive procedures like injections or surgery.
It differs from other electromagnetic field therapies like pulsed electromagnetic field technology (PEMF) because it uses a higher oscillation frequency and magnetic field strength, which is called its effective transduction power. It uses oscillation frequencies in the range of 100 - 300kHz and high-energy electromagnetic pulses in the 10mT (milliTesla) range and higher.
The combination of high energy and frequencies allows it to penetrate deeper, making it more helpful in treating a wider range of conditions. The individual pulses penetrate the surface and deep tissues alike to reduce inflammation and stimulate healing on the cellular level. The pulses promote healing because they can positively influence the chemical reactions of the cell potential to reactivate the sodium-potassium pump and restore normal physiological cell processes.
In turn, this ensures a stable cell membrane that is permeable for vital substances to flow in and out of them. This enhancement of cellular metabolism speeds up the body’s natural healing process.
Yes, EMTT therapy really works for chronic pain. Its use is supported by scientific data and a large and ever-growing number of patients who have experienced significant improvements in their conditions. Since it effectively stimulates healing at the cellular level and reduces inflammation, it can help ease discomfort and improve mobility in any number of chronic pain conditions.
Even non-inflammatory neurological conditions respond well to EMTT due to its positive effects at the cellular level.
Here are some chronic conditions successfully treated to help reduce discomfort and improve patient care in a non-invasive method with no side effects.
Any kind of chronic or acute pain will respond well to EMTT due to its effect on inflammation and prompting healing at the cellular level. For instance, it can be used for lumbago, tension, radiculopathy, sacroiliitis, pubic bone discomfort or inflammation, and for pain in the knees, neck, back, foot, ankle, hand, wrist, or shoulder.
Degenerative joint conditions like osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis in the back, hips, knees, neck, shoulders, elbows, and hands, as well as spondylarthrosis and herniated discs, also respond well.
Since EMTT reduces inflammation and stiffness, it improves mobility and relieves discomfort while promoting healing at the cellular level to improve and slow the degeneration of their condition.
Joint replacements can cause long-term concerns. Using EMTT post-surgery can accelerate joint replacement bonding up to three times faster than without. It helps to create a stronger bond between the prosthesis and the bone, minimizing long-term concerns about bone integrity and other issues.
Chronic back pain is the most common cause of discomfort in adults. Since EMTT is effective for deep tissue disorders, it can successfully treat chronic back issues, even those that have not responded to previous treatments. Its lack of side effects makes it an exceptionally safe alternative to pills or surgery.
Sports injuries often result in chronic inflammation of tendons and joints, tendon overuse symptoms, muscle and ligament strain, and inflammation of the pubic bone. These injuries also respond well to this therapy.
Sever’s disease is a form of heel pain in active children, usually during or just before puberty. It occurs when the bones grow fast, leaving exposed growth plates at their ends prone to inflammation and injury. EMTT has been used successfully to help treat the discomfort and inflammation associated with this condition.
Fibromyalgia is a complex condition to treat, with patients feeling broad discomfort throughout their entire body. Since this therapy can reduce inflammation, safely penetrate shallow and deep tissues, and promote healing at a cellular level without causing additional discomfort, it is an ideal treatment method for this debilitating condition.
EMTT therapy represents a breakthrough in the treatment of chronic pain and inflammatory conditions. Promoting healing at a cellular level and addressing the root causes of discomfort offers patients a safe, non-invasive alternative to traditional treatments.
Whether used alone or alongside other therapies, it has the potential to transform how chronic conditions are managed.
