What is EMTT
-
Extracorporeal Magnetotransduction Therapy (EMTT) is a non-invasive treatment that uses high-frequency, high-energy electromagnetic pulses to stimulate biological processes in musculoskeletal tissue.
-
EMTT was developed by Storz Medical in Switzerland, a company known for innovation in non-invasive medical technologies.
-
Unlike standard PEMF (pulsed electromagnetic field therapy), EMTT uses higher oscillation frequencies (100–300 kHz), which enables deeper tissue penetration and potentially stronger therapeutic effects.
How it Works (Mechanism of Action)
-
EMTT pulses generate electromagnetic fields that induce weak electric currents in body tissues.
-
These currents stimulate cellular metabolism, microcirculation, and anti-inflammatory processes.
-
Penetration depth can reach up to ~18 cm, allowing the therapy to target deeper structures like joints and spinal areas.
-
The pulses are brief, so they do not cause significant heating of tissue.
Treatment Parameters
-
Pulse frequency: Up to 10 pulses per second.
-
Oscillation frequency: 100–300 kHz.
-
Magnetic field intensity: Adjustable depending on treatment protocol.
-
Session duration: Usually 5–20 minutes.
-
Treatment course: Often 6–8 sessions, spaced a few days apart.
Indications / Applications
Used mainly in orthopaedics, sports medicine, and rehabilitation for:
-
Osteoarthritis (knee, hip, shoulder, etc.)
-
Tendinopathies (Achilles tendon, rotator cuff, etc.)
-
Chronic back pain, lumbar syndromes, radiculopathy
-
Myofascial pain and enthesopathies
-
Sports injuries / overuse syndromes
-
Post-surgical recovery, prevention of disuse atrophy
-
Stimulation of blood circulation and tissue regeneration

Awesome! 5 stars for the staff!!!
Everyone is very nice and professional there. Dr. Chen is very good at giving injections, and explaining everything.
Dr. Chen listens and truly responds to needs and concerns. I feel fortunate to have his thoughtful care.
Dr. Chen is a fantastic doctor. I've known him close to 10yrs and he's helped me out a ton. You can tell he is knowledgeable, and he really cares about his patients.
Dr. Chen has always been accommodating for me. He has a good bedside manner and really listens to you. Highly recommended.

Benefits
-
Non-invasive and pain-free (no injections, no surgery).
-
High patient comfort (can often be applied without undressing).
-
Short sessions (minutes rather than hours).
-
Deeper penetration compared to standard PEMF therapy.
-
Can be combined with other treatments (e.g., physiotherapy, ESWT).
Safety & Contraindications
-
Considered safe and well tolerated, with minimal side effects.
-
Usual contraindications apply for electromagnetic therapies:
-
Pacemakers or other implanted electronic devices
-
Certain metal implants (depending on site and configuration)
