Electro Magnetotransduction Therapy

Scorpio is delighted to offer this new anti-inflammatory technology. EMTT® is being described in orthopaedic circles as a game-changer in the world of musculoskeletal injuries.

EMTT®, a form of magnetic therapy, has opened up a host of new possibilities in regeneration and rehabilitation of injuries and arthritic conditions.  This revolutionary technology is a fantastic tool for helping patients get better faster without surgery, steroid injections or unnecessary risk.

EMTT® uses high energy magnetic fields for regeneration and rehabilitation at a cellular level. EMTT initiates an anti-inflammatory response, reducing pain and inflammation in affected areas of the body. Perfect for patients with acute pain presentation, irritable flare ups, neuropathic pain, diffused pain and degenerative pathologies such as osteoarthritis. EMTT® is highly tolerated, even with the most painful conditions such as rheumatic patients.

Conditions we can treat using this technology:

• Stress fractures
• Osteoarthritis
• Osteitis Pubis
• Patella Tendonitis
• Tendon Problems
• Achilles Problems
• Plantar Fasciitis
• Joint Pain & Swelling
• Thumb Stiffness & Arthritis
• Tennis Elbow
• Spine Pain
• DeQuervains (tendon inflammation near the thumb)
• Non-union fractures (broken bones that haven't healed on their own)
• Rotator cuff Tendinopathy & Pain

And much more…

A single treatment session lasts between 5-15 minutes and between 6-8 sessions are required (usually twice a week for the first two weeks then once a week thereafter)

The small print

The Magnetolith® generates high energy magnetic waves at extremely high oscillating frequencies ranging from 100-300 kHz. These waves penetrate deep tissues up to 18cm beneath the skin's surface. This induces biological effects at the cell* and tissue level: it accelerates swelling elimination, helps restore normal blood flow, nutrients, and oxygenation of tissue. These are all things that contribute to the reduction of inflammation. Interestingly enough, apparently most of the pain from osteoarthritis comes from bone oedema and the EMTT is particularly good at reducing this.

*Every cell undergoes chemical reactions that drive metabolism. The prerequisite for this is membrane permeability. A stable cell membrane ensures permeability for vital substances. A pathological change leads to dysfunction that can ultimately lead to disease. The chemical reactions of the cell potential can be positively influenced by EMTT®. The sodium-potassium pump can be reactivated and physiological cell processes can be normalised.

• Therapeutically effective magnet field
• Normalisation of the membrane potential
• Mechanical activation of the ion channels
