During treatment, a special device generates high-frequency electromagnetic pulses which are transmitted via an applicator directly to the affected area of the body.
These pulses can influence cellular metabolism and stimulate regenerative processes in muscles, tendons, ligaments and bones. The aim is to relieve pain, reduce inflammation and support the body’s natural healing process.
EMTT is primarily used for conditions and overuse injuries of the musculoskeletal system. Typical areas of application include chronic pain, degenerative changes and inflammatory processes.
The treatment is frequently used for osteoarthritis, back pain, tendon irritation, muscle injuries or sports-related complaints. EMTT can also be a supportive treatment option for chronic overuse syndromes.
A key advantage of EMTT is that the method is non-invasive. The treatment does not require surgery and is generally painless. Furthermore, it can usually be carried out on an outpatient basis.
The therapy is often used as a complement to other measures such as physiotherapy or shockwave therapy. The aim is to support the healing process and provide long-term relief from symptoms.
Before treatment begins, a medical examination is carried out to identify the cause of the symptoms as accurately as possible. The device’s applicator is then positioned over the affected area.
During the session, the electromagnetic pulses are delivered. A treatment session usually lasts only a few minutes. Depending on the symptoms, several sessions may be necessary to achieve a lasting therapeutic effect. The Department of Orthopedics and Trauma Surgery also offers further conservative and surgical treatment options.
What does EMTT stand for?
EMTT stands for Extracorporeal Magnetotransduction Therapy. It refers to a modern treatment method using high-frequency electromagnetic pulses.
How does EMTT work?
The therapy can stimulate regenerative processes in the tissue, support cellular metabolism and thus help to relieve pain and inflammation.
For which conditions is EMTT used?
EMTT is frequently used for osteoarthritis, chronic back pain, tendon irritation, muscle injuries and sports-related complaints.
Is EMTT painful?
The treatment is generally considered to be relatively painless. Many patients find the treatment well tolerated. If you have any questions regarding pain management or individual tolerance, it is advisable to seek medical advice.
