MAGNETOTHERAPY - EMTT (Storz)

EMTT INTRODUCTION

Extracorporeal magnetotransduction therapy (EMTT) with the MAGNETOLITH (Storz) device is the most modern implementation of pulsed, high-energy magnetic therapy, which opens up new possibilities for accelerated regeneration, rehabilitation and pain relief therapy.

EMTT differs significantly from previous implementations of pulsed electromagnetic therapy (PEMF). The most important differences are:

increased magnetic pulse power by 40%
a single magnetic pulse is constructed with high-frequency magnetic oscillation of 100-300 kHz.
increased penetration and action depth up to 18 cm
broader application area, can be combined with shock waves (ESWT).

During EMTT therapy, a high-energy pulsed magnetic field is transmitted into the body, tissues and cells, where it increases cellular energy, improves metabolism and strengthens physiological processes of restoration or regeneration.

EMTT is a non-invasive and outpatient treatment method. Taking into account contraindications, there are also no reports of undesirable effects.

EMTT can be used in various areas of musculoskeletal and tendon system damage, especially when these are associated with the presence of pain.

PRESENTATION OF THE MAGNETOLITH DEVICE:

High-frequency magnetic field (100 - 300 kHz)
Digital adjustment of power, frequency and number of pulses
Water-cooled applicator with a simple position adjustment mechanism
Simple plug for replacing the applicator

EMTT TREATMENT PROCEDURE:

EMTT treatment is comfortable. You can remain fully clothed during the therapy, direct skin contact is not necessary. Before starting the therapy, remove all metal accessories or equipment, especially electronic devices such as mobile phones, digital watches, pendants, electronic door and car keys. The magnetic field can demagnetize them and thus damage them. Store objects at least 1 m away.

The therapist places or places the applicator over the affected area. The therapy is performed dynamically or statically. In static therapy, the applicator is placed on a special holding arm.

The device allows for great flexibility. The strength and basic frequency of the pulsed magnetic field can be adjusted, as well as the number of magnetic pulses during one therapy.

The duration of each therapy and the number of repetitions depends on the specifics of the disease and the patient's response to treatment. Each therapy can last from 5-20 minutes. 6-8 therapies are usually performed as part of the treatment.

AREAS OF EMTT APPLICATION:

Pain:

Pain in the spine (cervical, thoracic, lumbar or sacral spine)
Pain in the extremities (arm, leg, small and large joints)
Muscle pain
Neuropathic or neuralgic pain due to nerve damage or compression

Overuse of tendons, joints and spine:

Degeneration or inflammation of tendons and their attachments (tendinosis, tendinitis, enthesopathy)
Rotator cuff tendinosis
Achilles tendon tendinosis
Heel spur with plantar fasciitis
Elbow epicondylitis, etc.
Arthrosis of large and small joints of the uper and lower extremities (shoulder, elbow, hands, hip, knee, ankle, foot)
Inflammation of small joints of the spine and damage to the intervertebral disc (spondyloarthritis, disc herniation)
