New research in magnetic stimulation shows promising effects in bone repair.
Bone fracture is a growing public health burden and a clinical need for non-invasive therapies to aid healing. Previous studies have demonstrated the utility of electromagnetic (EM) fields in promoting bone repair; however, its underlying mechanism of action is unclear. Interestingly, there is a growing body of literature describing the positive effects of an EM field on mitochondria.
EMTT increases mitochondrial function in osteogenic cells and promotes bone fracture repairs.
Coupled with Focused Shockwave treatment this is a game changer for bony non-unions and facilitates a faster healing response.
Here is a lovely study, showing how EMTT can help you in your clinical practice, managing bone pathologies.
What are the typical indications for the EMTT?
The MAGNETOLITH® EMTT® device treats musculoskeletal diseases of the muscle, bone, joints, nerves, tendons, and tissues. The effectiveness of electromagnetic transduction therapy in contributing to pain reduction for:
- Degenerative joint diseases:
Signs of wear and tear – e.g., arthrosis
(a common cause of shoulder pain,
knee, hip, hands, elbow), herniated disc, spondylarthrosis - Pain therapy: Chronic pain – e.g., back pain
lumbalgia, tension, radiculopathies, heel pain - Sports injuries: Chronic inflammation of
tendons and joints – e.g., tendon overload
syndrome, osteitis pubis
Patients may also be referred for EMTT treatment by the traumatology department as a follow up to surgery on injuries caused by accidents.
