New form of therapy for osteoarthritis patients: EMTT

The EMTT® procedure has recently also been used by the doctors at OZMO in Haar.

Patients with advanced osteoarthritis can take heart. When the cartilage is already largely worn away and shock loads are transmitted unchecked to the joint bone, inflammation often develops, and this is responsible for most of the pain. If anti-inflammatory injections or tablets then no longer help, the only remaining option is often a prosthesis. This is exactly where the new EMTT® procedure offers an alternative. Extracorporeal magnetotransduction therapy, EMTT® for short, is a further development of the recognised and effective magnetic field therapy, now using high-energy magnetic pulses. For the treatment, a therapy loop is positioned over the painful area without you, as the patient, having to remove any clothing. The high-energy magnetic pulses are then transmitted to the body, where they take effect. The new EMTT® procedure differs from other forms of magnetic field therapy in its higher oscillation frequency and magnetic field strength – the pulse intensity exceeds the earth’s magnetic field by a factor of 1,000. Thanks to the high energy and corresponding depth of penetration, the inflamed bone cells can be stimulated to regenerate. Cell metabolism can be reactivated and the physiological processes normalised. A treatment lasts between 5 and 20 minutes and is carried out in 6–8 sessions, depending on severity and response to the therapy. The result: “The osteoarthritis is not cured by this, but …”, says Professor Diehl of OZMO, “… we know that there are many patients who walk without complaints even with advanced osteoarthritis, because they have no inflammation in the bone.” There is a chance that the healing of the bone inflammation set in motion by the EMTT® treatment will lead to a longer-lasting pain-free phase. A ray of hope for osteoarthritis patients who were previously considered to have exhausted all treatment options. This intensive form of magnetic field treatment can also be used for tendonitis, sports injuries or pain therapy, particularly of the spine. Healing processes can be improved, pain can subside and operations can be avoided. Perhaps EMTT® treatment is also an option for you – come to our consultation, we will be happy to advise you.
