During treatment, a special device generates high-frequency electromagnetic pulses that 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 goal 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 applications include chronic pain, degenerative changes, and inflammatory processes.
The treatment is frequently used for osteoarthritis, back pain, tendon irritation, muscle injuries, or sports-related conditions. 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. In addition, it can usually be performed on an outpatient basis.
The therapy is often used in conjunction with other treatments, such as physical therapy or shockwave therapy. The goal is to support the healing process and provide long-term relief from symptoms.
Before treatment begins, a medical examination is conducted to determine the cause of the symptoms as accurately as possible. The device’s applicator is then positioned over the affected area.
During the session, electromagnetic pulses are delivered. A treatment session usually lasts only a few minutes. Depending on the specific symptoms, several sessions may be necessary to achieve a lasting therapeutic effect. The Department of Orthopedics and Trauma Surgery also offers additional conservative and surgical treatment options.
What does EMTT stand for?
EMTT stands for Extracorporeal Magnetotransduction Therapy. It refers to a modern treatment method that uses high-frequency electromagnetic pulses.
How does EMTT work?
The therapy can stimulate regenerative processes in the tissue, support cellular metabolism, and thus help alleviate 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 conditions.
Is EMTT painful?
The treatment is generally considered to be relatively painless. Many patients find the procedure well tolerated. If you have questions about pain management or individual tolerance, it is recommended that you consult a doctor.
