Treatment · Energy-based
An FDA-approved, non-invasive therapy that transmits high-energy magnetic pulses deep into tissue — a safe alternative to steroid injections that amplifies your orthobiologic treatment.
EMTT® (Electromagnetic Transduction Therapy) transmits high-energy magnetic pulses to influence cells at depth, supporting the body’s natural repair — particularly in hard-to-treat tendinopathies. Operating at oscillating frequencies of 100–300 kHz, it penetrates tissue up to 18 cm to reach tendons, muscles, bones and nervous tissue. A handheld or freestanding applicator delivers the pulses without ever touching the body, so there’s no anesthesia, no contact gel and no pressure. A comfortable session lasts just 5–20 minutes.
We rarely use EMTT in isolation. Its role is to amplify a broader plan — applied alongside shockwave and orthobiologic treatment so each therapy reinforces the next. Recovery is quick, with minimal discomfort and no adverse side effects.
Deep-tissue · complementary
The art of regenerative care is sequencing. EMTT is one instrument in a combined protocol — chosen when it makes the rest of the plan work harder.
How it works
EMTT is woven into a broader treatment plan.
Step 1
We determine whether EMTT adds value to your protocol based on your diagnosis and goals.
Step 2
You rest while a magnetic field is applied to the area — no pressure, no sensation of pain.
Step 3
EMTT is timed alongside shockwave or orthobiologic treatment for a reinforcing effect.
Step 4
A simple activity plan supports tissue repair across the series.
Where EMTT helps most
EMTT is recommended as part of a combined plan — your evaluation determines whether it belongs in yours.
No. Shockwave uses acoustic pressure waves; EMTT uses high-energy magnetic fields. They work through different mechanisms and are often combined for a stronger effect.
Not at all. EMTT is contact-free and painless — most patients feel nothing during the session.
Rarely. We use EMTT to amplify a broader regenerative plan rather than as a standalone treatment.
None. You can return to your day immediately after a session.
