EMTT for Osteoarthritis – Innovative Magnetotransduction Therapy

Therapy without tablets and injections for joint, muscle, tendon and back pain

Topic in the Focus-Gesundheit podcast

Back pain, knee and hip pain, tennis elbow, shoulder pain or sports injury: if you suffer from a musculoskeletal disorder, you are like many people. After all, diseases of the active and passive musculoskeletal system – also called musculoskeletal diseases – are the most common cause of (chronic) pain worldwide. This also includes tension, back pain, osteoarthritis, joint pain or typical sports injuries such as overstrain and inflammation of muscles and tendons.

Innovative magnetotransduction therapy, or EMTT for short, can provide healing support and reduce the need for medication in the long term.

EMTT in diseases of the musculoskeletal system

For those affected, complaints triggered by the accompanying inflammation of diseases of the musculoskeletal system often mean considerable restrictions in their everyday lives and a loss of quality of life. But there is good news: Depending on the disease, effective therapeutic measures are available today. Extracorporeal magnetotransduction therapy (EMTT) is a brand new treatment.

Magnetotransduction therapy (EMTT) is a non-invasive procedure specifically designed to treat these conditions. “It differs significantly from other forms of magnetic field therapy due to the much higher oscillation frequency and magnetic field strength – also called effective magnetic transduction power,” explains Professor Dr. Peter Diehl of the Orthopädie Zentrum München Ost (OZMO). “With EMTT, healing processes in the body can be enhanced in a non-contact, non-invasive way. This helps with almost all wear and tear diseases and injuries.”

How does magnetotransduction therapy work for osteoarthritis and other diseases?

EMTT treatment stimulates biologically effective healing processes through which positive stimulation is generated in the affected cells. Cell metabolism can be reactivated and physiological healing processes normalized. Existing inflammations subside, pain subsides, back pain recedes and even osteoarthritis in the joints can improve clinically with EMTT.

Figuratively, cell metabolism in relation to magnetotransduction therapy can be compared to an empty cell phone battery that is recharged on an induction mat. The body is enabled by the EMTT therapy to reactivate the correct processes in the cell metabolism and thus to remedy complaints often starting from the cause. As a result, numerous surgeries become unnecessary because the patients are well again. “This non-invasive treatment opens up completely new possibilities, both in regeneration and rehabilitation,” said the orthopedic and trauma surgeon. “The largest applications of magnetotransduction therapy (EMTT) include osteoarthritis and degenerative joint disease, post-surgery pain, sports injuries, back pain and fracture healing.”

What diseases and injuries can magnetotransduction therapy help with?

Extracorporeal magnetotransduction therapy is suitable for diseases of the tendons, muscles and musculoskeletal system associated with (chronic) inflammation and (chronic) pain as well as signs of wear and tear. For example, at:

(chronic) inflammation of the tendons
(chronic) inflammation of the joints
Overuse syndromes of the tendons
(chronic) pain in the back (also lumbalgia)
Tension
Nerve root irritation (radiculopathy)
Herniated disc (slipped disc)
Osteoarthritis

How does the EMTT therapy work?

The therapy loop of the device (e.g. Magnetolith by Storz Medical) is positioned on the pain zone without the patient having to remove his clothing. Direct skin contact is not necessary. In EMTT therapy, the affected areas of the body are treated with high-energy magnetic pulses. Within fractions of a second, a therapy system builds up strong magnetic fields of up to 80 kT. Strong current pulses are generated in the affected tissue, which then act directly on the cells. The generated energy is transferred to the areas of the body to be treated via the therapy loop.

The pulse intensity of the EMTT exceeds the earth’s magnetic field by far more than 1000 times. It is capable of altering cell membranes, generating current fields and introducing the required energy into the cells. Only then can the EMTT develop its full effect. The high-energy magnetic pulses penetrate – depending on the setting – up to 20 cm deep into the tissue. Thus, for the first time, deeper tissue layers can be reached effortlessly during extracorporeal magnetotransduction therapy. They unfold their effect specifically at the treated area. EMTT, with its extremely fast pulses and very short duration, also means that there is no temperature increase in the tissue and is therefore very safe.

Prof. Diehl: “In principle, magnetotransduction therapy works like cortisone, but without the typical cortisone side effects. So we have only the good features coupled with easy, safe and convenient use for both patient and doctor. One treatment session lasts about 15 minutes, is repeated 6-8 times and is usually painless. Then the complaints usually subside, so that they can go about their daily lives again.

The latest scientific studies show that the already proven Extracorporeal Shockwave Therapy (ESWT) and Extracorporeal Magnetotransduction Therapy complement each other very well. The clinical results are significantly better in the combination than under the single therapies ESWT or EMTT. Both therapies, i.e. extracorporeal shock wave therapy and extracorporeal magnetotransduction therapy, as well as the combination of both procedures, can help to significantly delay or even completely prevent operations that were previously considered necessary. So extracorporeal magnetotransduction therapy is showing to be a tremendous benefit for all patients.”

New hope for patients through magnetotransduction therapy for osteoarthritis

Magnetotransduction therapy can provide relief even in advanced stages of osteoarthritis without the need for injections or a scalpel, making it a good alternative to joint replacement with a prosthesis. In advanced arthrosis, the cartilage is already largely used up. The impact load, which is normally absorbed by the cartilage, is transmitted unchecked to the joint bone. This causes inflammation, which is responsible for the main pain of osteoarthritis, in addition to the irritated or inflamed joint capsule.

Inflammations of the joint capsule can be treated very well with anti-inflammatory tablets or injections – up to a limited point. Patients who no longer respond to this therapy are considered to be out of treatment. Previously, the only last option available to them was prosthesis, as the bone inflammation often persists without responding to conventional conservative forms of therapy. Magnetotransduction therapy (EMTT) offers new approaches here. The high energy with corresponding penetration depth can also stimulate the inflamed bone cells to regenerate. This often leads to a significant improvement in symptoms without curing the osteoarthritis. Unfortunately, osteoarthritis is still considered incurable.

Nevertheless, there is new hope, as there are many patients who walk without symptoms even with advanced osteoarthritis, provided there is no inflammation in the bone. For this reason, there is a chance that EMTT treatment for osteoarthritis can help the inflammation in the bone to heal and return the patient to a longer-lasting asymptomatic phase. Initial studies from Asia show encouraging results from extracorporeal magnetotransduction therapy for osteoarthritis.
